Felix is now Tarzan because he currently is the King of the Jungle over here. I had to take him to the vet today as his tummy was so bloated and red. He was red from the middle of his belly to his rear legs and when I stimulated him, he would fuss and cry and kick. He was still eating and pooping and peeing, but he certainly was also telling me something was wrong.
Granted he is young, but I suspected he had tapes. I had to go and make another payment on my sky-high vet bill, so I tucked Tarzan into my jacket and off we went.
Ben was skeptical when I asked him for Droncit. I told him that when Tarzan arrived, he was riddled with fleas and was frantically trying to groom himself. So, Ben did give Tarzan a shot of Droncit. He also said that he felt Tarzan’s digestive system wasn’t working right, so he gave me a tube of BeneBac
By the time we arrived home, Tarzan had pooped and there was a pile of tapes in the middle of it all. Poor Kitty! He is looking so much better. The redness isn’t so pronounced now and only on his rear legs (which could also be urine scald.) His belly that was as hard as a basketball this morning now has more give in it when pressed.
Hopefully, it will be smooth sailing from here on in. I have the word out that he is available for adoption in 5 months- so there is hope he will find a good home in the future.
Tomorrow Eddie is bringing over someone wanting to adopt Shimmer, and I got a promising phone call from someone in North Albany interested in Madison! She is bringing her husband on Saturday to meet Maddie
