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.
