She is home and I figured I would start a new thread officially introducing her. The courier said OMG you have gotten the sweetest kitten….and so far it is so true. The courier messaged she was afraid she would not get a seat home this evening, so she rented a car and drove from Philly to about an hour 15 minutes away for us to meet her. It was awesome. She pooped ate and is playing as soon as we got home. Tonight hubby will sleep in the spare room with her. We are so tired from the anticipation and the letdown from yesterday’s flight did not work out, and then personal health chaos occupied my afternoon with eye issues yesterday so it is nice to just enjoy now. I present you Luchi-Chi pronounced Loo Chee Chee.

No hissing at all since we brought Luchi-Chi home. Every other experience over 24 years someone/mostly all hissed. We are letting them all smell her on our hands and no one seems threatened. Wellness check tomorrow morning…we dropped poop samples off today hoping for results before the weekend. We usually quarantine 10-14 days…we will adjust accordingly and hope not to stress her. Hubby slept with her last night and she woke him up every 45 minutes licking his face and wanting love. We are blessed.

Just got back from the vet. She has Giardia and is on Panacur for 7 days and then test her poop again 1-2 weeks after prescription is done. Did hear a small/very focal murmur and hopeful will outgrow it at 4-6 months old for most kittens. Of course I am hoping so it is not considered a pre-existing condition. Everyone loved her. I did learn there are many forms of Giardia and this one is very common and not one humans can get. We just want to be safe and keep them separated until clear sample comes back clear.

My breeder was great…. She said it is weird her poop test came back positive as her sister’s was clear. Her last round of de-worming was last week, so most likely it is the last of the sloughing. That is why after treated they said to wait 1-2 weeks after to avoid having any of the fecal matter still having the dead cells in it being picked up. She also said for me not to worry about the murmur. She is still growing and most kittens out grow it. The vet could only hear it in one specific spot it is not heard through the entire chest etc so that is also good news.

Aww, it sounded like all were amenable to accelerating the introduction period. Everything at its own pace….glad humans can’t get it. No symptoms whatsoever?

Breeder sent me this…hoping this helps us all learn. I told her how he could only hear the murmur on one spot…so she looked up more

Definitely reassuring.
