Pete and I are away for a few days ..leaving the now healing kitties in the hands of friends and family

Holidays were delayed for a few days to make sure Kittys Meds are working ...they are ...all Cats are taking the Antibiotics
and finally Sams eyes are healing

I tried to contact the seller ..but my mail bounced back ..turns out Sam has Chlamydia :( ..
I was even sure I could see his "scratch " ..that was fur missing due to his eye infections
I wish his previous owner would have just said their was a problem ..but I feel their was no way he was ever taken to a vet , I can help but feel she lied ..but still I wouldnt change a thing
I would have still had him ...but after he had been treated ..but I dont think she had any intention of doing that
Now all my cats have to be treated ..even though Maddie has no symptoms ...still 48 hours into the med and the improvement is dramatic, and they will be OK ..they are also going to be vacinated when they are better
Zacks eyes are fine ..and Sam is a different kitty
and I feel I can leave them with my daughter and friend without worry ...yeah right ..gonna miss them like crazy
Jo is even comming around in the day when Rosie is out as Zack gets upset when he is alone ..I cant thank her enough

Ok back next week

growing so fast

Sam is getting better by the day ..but Zack now has conjunctivitis ...! and he is such a baby

thankfully what ever was wronge with Sam hasnt passed ..just the poorly eyes ..which my Vet suspects Sam got easy as he was so ill and week , she told me not to worry he was so young ...he is gaingin weight and comming on in leaps and bounds
.with what ever respiritory illness he had ..he is one lucky kitty and responded really well to TLC and antibiotics
.thankfully its not Catflu ..so far I have been to the Vets 3 times this week and I have to take them both tommorow ....expensive game this Kits ...but worth it

but both kittys are on the mend
my Vet has told me not to worry about my old cat ...as she is most likey imune as she is showing no symptoms
Both have wonderful characters ..they are my pride and joy

Im teaching them to leave wigs and dollys alone !



right now Im off to bathe Zacks eyes ...feed them both ..dye wigs and take those Bracken pictures ...and sneek in a coffee




WIGS ..My hand is much worse ...and I now have symptoms in my other hand ..so I am being careful ...wigs are going out OK ..if a little slower ..but I am starting to stress .....expext a month and if you get them sooner ..its a bonus :)


trying not to get stressed ( I can feel the muscles in my neck ache and I have another headache ) ..but they are all ticking over nicely

my poor little mite is pooley
I gave him 4 days , like his last vet said ..and he dose look 100 times better ,,,but I was still not happy

although he is much much better his eyes started to glue up again

and he snezzes like anything when I clean them .so I got him into the vet

he has an infection and conjunctivitis ..the Vet also thinks he has got a respiratory infection , although his lungs sound clear he is snufly

vets have told me we have watch him closely , these next couple of days he should improve
but is he stops eating at all he has to be admited as he will need to go on a drip
he has had an antibiotic jab today ..and antibiotic eyecream
and I have to take him back Monday for another injection,
After being given the worse news then she gave me the good news
he hasnt got a temperature , and
the Vet dosnt think he has flu , he hasnt got the mouth ulcers , is eating well and isnt lethargic
and the Vet finding out he was a Maine Coon also checked his heart ..thats fine too
so Im pampering him to pieces ,
Zack should be Ok ..although he may catch the conjunctivitis
...but as he is a strong healthy kitten , he could be Ok
and a Sams infection is through the cut ..Zack cant catch that
I will try and answer mails tommorow ..but I didnt want to leave Sam today
I have to keep a close eye on him , make sure he eats and gets his eyedrops ..so I will sit ..feed him chicken and sew up the Snoinks Im working on for Charles
Ive missed the post today , but Pete is taking them up tommorow

hopefully with the Anti-b`s and cream we will see an improvement tommorow xx

Sam sitting pretty

I love this little boy
comparing him now , to the pictures when he first arrived , I can hardly believe the change ...he has doubled in a week ,I swear he has
he is eating well ..and holding his own with Zack ..although I cant leave them alone yet ..Zack is far too boisterous ..and Zack far too tiny

I miss my Stan so much ..but these 2 make it bearable

UPDATE ON WIGS

The repeat strain in my hand isnt good, BUT , I am being sensible and timeing myself working

so I am getting the orders out ..only a little later than normal

Post is being sent FRIDAY and Tuesday

NO DELAYS at the momment ..it takes between 2 and 3 weeks to ship
