Sasson's sick tummy

[davidfcooper]

Today I noticed a large amount of blood in Sasson's stool, so I took him to the vet who took a stool sample, took Sasson's temperature (slight fever), and gave him two injections. As per Dr's orders Sasson has to fast until morning and then has to take oral antibiotics for five days. He's hungry, is not a happy camper, and quite vocal. Poor cat. We're trying to distract him from his hunger through play and affection. I hope he lets us sleep tonight.

Poor kitty. Our Bodhi cat occasionally makes "bloody sundaes" (was doing it in the tub) because he is licking himself bald, but I see that is not the issue with Sasson.

Love for the Skin Kitty here too!

If he ends up with an ulcer there is some herbal stuff you can give that can make that easier on him. I gave it to John Paul. It's ...... thinkingthinking..... Slippery Elm. It can be made into a syrup - and if you want the recipe I'll dig it up for you. It helps coat the stomach so they can eat. Good luck with the healing!

Oh, poor kitty. I hope he feels better soon.

poor Sasson.... I hope he fells better soon, they are such a worry!

He is, however, a stunning cat!
