A Miri and Littermates Update

Sorry so lates in posting dis. The Mom iz tukkerd outs. (Shhhh... Miri am sleepin.)

Dr. Jones said that the wheezy sound is now in her upper respiratory only and the congestion is moving up into her trachea so she can cough it up!

She said to continue the rest of the antibiotics and bring her in for another check up after that. She doesn't need Prednisone!! Which is great because it is not good for growing kittens.

Miri has also gained a whole pound of weight and has grown some more! She is still a little girl for 5 months old.

Miri and Jaspurr (the biggest white kitty) are the only ones showing straight furs. Justin (Brownish Black), Jordi (Bicolored Eyed White) and the long-haired boys all have some sort of kinky or curly furs or whiskers. Seems that the underhairs are more kinky and the top furs are more straight. Have to look up which Rex mutation that is closest to theirs which I hope will help them find new foster Moms who can lovingly look after them with patients and purrz.

Sir Sammy Purrzalot

Gotta a new problem with the furbabies.
Sammy has an odd lump under his right ribs. Toby seems to have it too, so must be an enlarged organ. It is in the spot where the liver should be... enlarged liver is a sign of luekemia. Making an appt for these two sweet hearts who purr all the time. Sammy even purrs when you pick up his brother. Will get him tested for Leukemia as well.

More updates soon on these curly critters.

Miri's Vet Visit

Miri did really well at the Vet's.

And she did pretty good in the truck ride too.

She did start to get a bit fussy halfway through the ride and want out of the carrier.

The only purrblem was I had to drive across town to the east side. If the Cat Hospital had been closer, I don't think she would have fussed hardly at all.

Dr. Jones said Miri's four month old teeth were in, which means the kittens are definitely between four and five months old, but Miri is very small for her age. She only weighs 2.6 pounds! Such a gentle soul too. She let Dr. Jones take a blood sample with no problems at all.

Dr. Jones thinks that she may not have asthma or allergic bronchitis, but just plain bronchitis. She is on Clavamox now. Let's purr that she responds well to the antibiotics and won't need a steroid shot as well. She may still have allergies, but too soon to tell the difference.

However when she was tested for FIV, Heartworms and Leukemia (the test checks all three), there was a mild positive for Leukemia. Which means that their four legged Mommy most likely has Leukemia. So now all the kittens should be tested for sure and then tested again in about three months.

I am having a big sad right now. Miri and her curly haired brothers are so sweet, and the other three are slowly getting used to being inside. Please pray for these babies that I find their new Mommies soon who are willing to give them all the love they need for what may be a very short life, up to two years.

Love and Purrz,
Katie Kat.
