Cats: The Kitten
Kitten doesn’t have a name yet. Mr L is avoiding handling her while she’s in quarantine, because he rubs his eyes a lot, and he’s afraid he’s going to handle the kitten, forget to wash his hands, rub his eyes, and get ringworm in his eyes. A valid concern. He’s researching appropriate names for her, though.
Kitten is a cuddler. She’s also a talker. She’s being treated with Lamisil for the ringworm. I’m not seeing a significant improvement, but it’s not getting any worse. She was 2.04 pounds on Monday during her initial checkup. I brought her back in on Friday for a re-check for sneezing/coughing. Dr. Val could find nothing wrong but suggested liquid Benadryl Allergy. That seems to have helped (even though it makes her “foam at the mouth like she’s rabid.”), because I didn’t hear her sneeze once on the trip down from Central TX to San Antonio. On Friday, she weighed 2.5 pounds. I forgot to mention she’s been eating, too.
