The vet said the lab shows nothing remarkable in the stool samples. When I questioned where all this diarrhea and wet tail is coming from then- he told me that he believes the lab did not properly test the sample (wet it down enough) to show the protozoas. I don’t know why those instructions weren’t included in the send?

But at any rate, they seem to be responding well to the meds and we celebrated formed stool in the pans yesterday for the first time!  I have to give Brambles, the biggest female kitty props- she finds amazing hiding places in the room when it comes to giving her the meds! The first time I couldn’t find her and I tore apart the isolation room looking for her- I finally found her inside an opened box of cat litter! The second time, she was in the pocket of my lab coat that I wear when I am out there and the third time, she was inside the dust bin! She has lost most of her fur from under her tail, on the back of her legs and on her belly and I am not sure why? They get butt baths with just drops of DAWN liquid dishwashing soap and warm water and then I put a non-petroleum based ointment on the red rears. I am not sure why out of all the kittens she shows this problem but I have stopped doing her baths and use a soft comb to clean her up instead.

I got two of the four healthy babies neutered and they have been placed into loving homes with seniors. They both live side by side to each other and I hear their new owners are meeting daily for “playdates.” I adopted out the little tuxedo boy and the snowshoe girl.
