Hey all!
wow has it really been since October I've been here?! Holy guacamole then time flew by fast. D:
So in a speedy quick update.
This site has changed so much I feel sooooo lost - I can't even find the post button. Oh dear loooord. Can I have the old one back? lol!
Edit: wait, found it xD not sure if I overlooked it or.. o_o yeah. Didn't had much sleep last night. Think a hour or two. Thanks Safira!
We moved to a bigger place - yay more room for us and more room for the kitten.
It's a whole adjustment from coming half the size to double the size, from 13th stunning view no garden floor to bottom with porch garden but no view floor lol.
(yeah we couldn't have both not how it works hehe)
But it's heavy as I'm running behind with my household and have no help and prefer not to ask my better half as he already works so many hours on the road
He got a company car to be on the road which is nice, alas it's a un-comfy loud one. They went a little to budget there :|
And I'm seeing a specialist again for myself, hopefully it finally brings some clarity and solutions as it's specialist number 874521.
Toes crossed for that cause it ain't cheap but there is hope and that's all that counts as health has no price tag <3
But in a more important update, I started to struggle with my peanut aka Safira.
You remember her right, that little mischievous looking cutie pie face.
In case you forgot:
when she was a wee kitten:
and nowadays:
Oh yeah she sure did grow and is becoming a lady for sure and I can't even start to tell what a brat she became.
(despite the vet says she's small for her age? :/ - she's a good 3 kilograms though lol)
We try to correct her but you know how they are xD not caring in the world that you tell them no.
But with her being 8 months now, there is hope that she'll calms down when she goes adult.
Not that she fully has to calm down of course, but sometimes a tiiiiiny little less maniac and little more affectionate is welcome LOL.
Alas she's also giving me tons of troubles bowel wise and we're still looking for a solution for about hmm... almost half a year now I guess
So far she got tested on a 3 day collection (Gardia, tritri and I think some others too) several times.
She also had a blood test.
Nothing to be found there, just nothing, nada. Which is goooood..? besides the fact it's not helping to pin down the cause.
She got anti worm thingy. She had a special paste for her bowels, special kibbles for digestion, probiotica,...
So the issue is, on kibble when she goes to the litter box, there is slime/mucus in the poop and blood. It smells awful and it's pretty diaree-ish.
And after a few minutes some extra clear slime/mucus/watery substance that smells like fish comes out without her being able to controle it.
So we put her on raw food (little nuggets, compleet pre made) and she still has the slime/mucus in the poop and diaree-ish and the slime running out her butt issue but the blood is at least gone.
So we tried hypoallergenic raw food, but it stays the same as the normal raw food only that it costs more.
I also noticed if she runs around, sometimes she sounds like a water bag. Anyone ever heard that with their cat?
I tried to google this issue but without much luck D:
Also noticed the slime is at the end of her poop, not between or upfront.
I got the question if she pushes hard and to be honest, she's my first cat. I don't know if she pushes normal or to hard And I also don't know how to tell.
When is normal normal?
So of course the past few months we've been trying to pinpoint it with me always running after her with a wet whipe, once after the deed and often 5-10 mins later for the excessive mucus/slime that comes out extra.
I know sphynx are know for having less good bowels sometimes and that some may grow out of it once they pass the adult stage (1 year when considered adult?) but there has to be something I can do to help her, food wise, probiotica, cause it's always a whole meow drama when she has to go and it breaks my heart.
important to say:
so far I never caught her having a fever.
Nor did she lose weight or appetite and she still plays - so it's not like she's sick to the edge of death. Far from.
But the poop, wet butt issue stays a big issue.
should we try kibble again maybe despite having tried several recommended brands?
Stay on raw despite even hypoallergenic not making a difference, oddly enough?
I don't even know if the raw we give is good enough. It's so hard to find around where I am and I'm not up to making it myself.
Anything besides probiotica or what's it called that you can give for stress or irritated bowel, mucus/slime/stomach related issues?
I ordered something that's called ''Veenliquid'' from luposan. I think it translates too moor?
Something like this (different brand but should be the same thing)
Sanafor at a glance:
Not much to lose unless it really gets worse again, which hopefully it wont cause it does have fairly good reviews.
So besides all of the above... I'm so lost in what else we can do so suggestions and idea's are more then welcome!
(not to mention, the vet is even more clueless and talks about cutting her open to take a sample of her bowels etc to check it out. I was like oh hell no o_o so now I dislike my vet and considering despite all the test she ran and all the money we threw against it, to get a second opinion somewhere else)
Thanks in advance for catching up with us
Lots of love,
Yumi and Safira.
