Mom didn't take a picture of me today, so she is using one that she took a while ago. She often takes two pictures, one right after the other, then picks one to post. Hopefully this is the one she hadn't posted already. See my full fluffy chest fur? The vet stole some of it today. Yes, I'm back from the vet. It wasn't too bad after all, except for having something shoved up where it didn't belong. I really objected to that, but she got it done eventually. So what is wrong with me? There are three choices: temporary bowel inflammation caused by Mom perhaps upping the dosage of The Missing Link too quickly for my system; I have developed IBD; I have a virus. The vet decided to go with the first choice for the time being. I got a shot of an anti-inflammatory drug. I do have a slightly elevated temperature, so a virus is a possibility. I don't get any more of The Missing Link until the poop puddles go away, but then Mom is to put me back on it, but to stop at the half dose for at least a month, then we'll see about upping it again. Mom is also supposed to give me an equal amount of Bene-fiber with The Missing Link, which might help my system accept it better. Mom also got a bottle of Interferon Alfa-2A, already mixed up and ready to squirt in my mouth every morning. That is to help control the feline leukemia. I don't know how I feel about that yet, but the good news is that I am to get my sardine right afterward. Yay, I get my sardines back. Here's hoping that the poop puddles go away in a few days, or I will have to go back again. If I do go back, then I get treated for a virus with a really nasty-tasting antibiotic that Mom has to squirt in my mouth.
Karen Jo: I am so glad that the poop puddles might just be caused by a temporary thing and that my giving you The Missing Link was the right thing to do, but I may have rushed it. I have been so worried that I did something bad to you. I am really hoping for the temporary bowel inflammation or even a virus to be the cause. I don't want you to have inflammatory bowel disease along with all your other problems. If you do, though, we will handle it as best we can.

Herman you vet looks like he's really on top of your issues and very up to date on modern therapies. Interferon is an amazing drug. There have been some great results in cats who take it who all kinds of viral issues.
