Since my last post, a step by step story.....

A few things, mainly pet related have happened since my last post. On Sunday 15th Pepsi went off her food and hid in the garage for the day. Over night she had diarrhoea and vomited the small amount of food she had eaten over night. We contacted the vet on Monday and they suggested bland food and keeping her in for 24 hours. She started to look a lot better and was a lot better in herself so we thought she was getting there.

Wednesday 18th I was off to bed at 21:30 when Whisky came in. He has a gash under his eye, a very bloody eye and a bloody nose. I rang Vets Now, the local 24 hour vets and they advised that as it was his eye we should take him in. Well, £250 later he has had an anti-biotic injection and a pain killing injection and is on 2 eye drops.......

Whisky did really well, Pepsi continued to have diarrhoea and vomited a bit. On a couple of mornings I had accidents to clear up. When we took Whisky for his follow-up appointment at our vets they were pleased with him, we were to continue with the drops for a few more days but didn't need to take him again unless we were worried. We asked about Pepsi and they suggested something called Pro-Kolin to help bind her poo and add good bacteria. We think it worked, she has made it through the nights ever since, so fingers crossed.

So since then we have gone about routine as normal. We have our next kittens. We picked up 2 yesterday, brother and sister and another 2 today, sisters. There aren't exactly getting on but there have been no fisty cuffs! Photos to follow.

So this afternoon Whisky now seems to have something, or possibly to have eaten something that disagrees with him, a mouse, a bird, some form of vermin no doubt. He has vomited this evening and there was vomit outside this afternoon. There was also a squitty poo in the litter tray so who knows who did that....... So I will now spend my evening worrying about him. I am sure he will be fine, he has already managed to get out and over the 6ft fence so fingers crossed. Considering they haven't been ill since they were kittens they're doing well.......

The joys of cat ownership........
