Soooo.....we went to the vet, and got yet another different treatment and were told directions that I just don't agree with. I do not want to vet hop either, but if your going to compare foods and your going to dis a company, and you admit you don't know what the food is I am talking about yet you tell me something else is better.
I say it didnt' matter what he ate, formula, better formula, weaning formula, baby beef, kitten chow purina (the shelter sent it, and I just couldn't make myself use it, not after seeing the difference of what the good stuff did for them, and and and and..I am frustrated. He did have what I woudl attribute to an almost partially formed stool for the first time. He is still bloated, he did not pass any worms.
I went to Petco and I got a bag of Wellness, a bag of Blue Buffalo kitten chow, and a third brand, I can't remember, but looked appropriate to the others and I found the clerk. ONe that the doc said "would just push whatever they are told to push"
She went through all ingredients, talking about digestive tracks and how they are not fully formed until a cat is i think she said 9 months. She said adding pediatyle to his food and make sure it wasn't flavored would help him with his digestion. That she didnt' feel he was asorbing what he should. ANd after spending a long time with me, looking up ingredients she came to the same conclusion that I did, what I am feeding him is the very best thing I can be feeding him. I felt better about what I learned from the petco clerk, then I did the vet. That to me is really sad.
The vet kept saying maybe the mama cat brought home some prey and I would repeat, he was bottle fed from 12 days up. There is no mama. She said fleas, I said NO FLEAS past the day he came in at 11 days. Danged if she didnt' turn him over to look. I feel horrible but I want a different vet. I don't know. IF this doesnt' work I am going to take him to Independence which will cost more and is much further away, but that is what I ended up doing with Pepper and it was the right decision. I just want him well.
Fingers crossed this does it. HE is getting his probiotic paste stuff,
He does turn heads. He sat in my arms at the vets so good, it was a very long wait.
I want my morning cat well.
He has a good appitite, he plays, he doesn't act sick except for those couple days before I took to the HS. Since then tho, his growth seems appropriate and so does his weight. He does not have a temp.
This pic was taken just a couple minutes after the one above. THe lighting was just so pretty, we watch the sun come up together. He watches the window, I watch him, This has become my most favorite part of the day.
sighs..let this bowel issue be fixable. For everyone who loves him here's sake.
Especially me
