thank you! I am keeping a close eye on them and feeding every 3-4 hours they are extremely alert - playing with toys and running around. I gave them a bath tonight because they learned to use the litter box today (the non-clumping kind) and had some stuck all over their butts! They are laying on a towel and heating pad as I write this. The last couple bowel movements were blood free but his poor little butt is quite red and inflamed - so I keep putting cream on it (that I got from the vet). I will keep my eye on them as I know all too well what can happen - we lost a cat two months ago to flutd. The first vet and spca told me it was a female so when she got sick they gave her antibiotics. Weekend came along (no vets here work on the weekends) and she was very sick - hiding, not peeing at all not eating or drinking. Had to call in an emergency vet who informed me that it was indeed a male cat - not female and had flutd. approximately 800.00 vet charge and although it broke my heart - we just couldn't afford it. But had I known it was a male I knew exactly what warning signs to look for but we were told 4 times it was a female and this was even after the vet checked her to see if she (he) was fixed. He said she had no scars so she wasn't - how could he miss the penis???
