Scissorclaws has the runs

[chockbic]

He has been loose for a few days now. Kind of drippy. Apologies if eating.

What's best to feed him until he recovers from whatever ails?

Oh no! Poor Monsieur Scissorclaws! If it's been going on for a few days now, I'd be inclined to take him to the vet. Pets At Home have an in-house vet and open on Sunday. MKitten had a runny bottom for the first couple of weeks, and they prescribed a pro-biotic paste. Is it recurring? I remember reading (on here I think) that Giardia is likely the cause.

In the meantime, steamed chicken, boiled eggs? With a bit of water stirred in, to make sure he's hydrated.

Wishing your slasher a speedy recovery.

He was runny and snuffly for a few weeks when he came to us.

I've fed him fresh cooked chicken and he's been loose since then. Doubt it could be from that though. He's a greedy guts so might have picked something up outside. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Will try him with a bit of egg later. Thanks for the advice.

We really struggled to get our elderly cat to eat the probiotic syringe-paste. Apparently dogs like it; our siamese could smell it from 5 metres. If we popped it in his mouth he would wander round the corner to vomit it up. For a while we ended up trying it with roast pork and water.

We did quite well popping it into a bit of minced lamb (with a cottage pie in mind for the rest)

How's the little man's runny bottom today Choc?

Spooky, just about to update this Rubbish.

He's been sick as well and still loose as a goose. So off to the vet in the morning. Just need to get a stool sample

Ooh, spooky indeed! I shall send him some get well soon vibes!

Poor little thing, how does he seem in himself? A bit down I bet. Good idea with the stool sample, they can send it off and get a diagnosis without any guess work.

Give the little lad an ear fuss from me.

A bit subdued at the moment. Think he's missing the tasty tuna pouches he was having.

One thing is, I noticed the fridge thermostat had been knocked to its lowest level. Hoping I've not poisoned him with gone off chicken.

Thanks for your concern

Ah, bless you both. I doubt very much you've poisoned him, as you said most likely something he's munched outside. I'm sure the vet will sort him out.

Doesn't stop the worrying though.

Let us know how the little monsieur gets on at the vet tomorrow?

God love you, Rubbish

He seems better today. Firmer. So we're going to keep an eye on him over the next couple of days.

That's good he's less loose.

I know if it were me though, I'd be off to the vet, just as a precaution.

Will bear it in mind, thanks.

How's Monsieur le Scissorclaws doing today? I hope the little miaow is feeling better, and getting back to his usual slasher self.

He's getting back to his usual bouncy, ripping self.

Been out and came back in licking his lips

Ah, that is good news!

A joyful Xmas to you and Scissorclaws!

Thanks Rubbish.

You too
