Please keep Gizmo in your thoughts :-(

Hope lil Gizmo is feeling a bit better today, they are little rascals, get into all sorts of mischief. I will keep your lil guy in my prayers.

That's awesome to hear. I mean with worms it's just a pill, right? At least that's what it was when Cookie had them and was scooting her butt. Much better than the kitty litter turning to cement scenario.

Nice!

Very happy to hear he is improving. Praying he will be 100% again soon. Glad you are having his stool checked.

Just read this thread and so pleased to hear your 'emerging' good news. Crystal had a related problem, probably caused by stress, when her mom was away for a fortnight. I'll never forget the feeling of relief when solidity returned, following four days on 'poop-watch'!

I'm very mindful of what gets dropped on the floor (pills! etc) as she's like one of those mini robot hoovers instantly appearing and sucking up anything within seconds of it hitting the deck (how do they do that?)

I believe these intelligent little creatures react so positively to our care and love as well. We are their mentors, medical chest and life long best friend, whose trust is such a treasured value to hold.

I feel sure your affection and support has contributed in no small measure to affect recovery.

They're always up to something that's for sure...

In all my years did I ever think of the danger of a litter box but then again never had one using a litter box. So glad he is feeling better and like you say "they are always up to something"

[rubymoon2072]

sending many prayers he is fully healed soon.

Poor little Gizmo, I am so happy to read that he is doing better.

Thank you so much for updating. A lot of people will post on a problem and then never update. People on this forum are very caring and look for updates because they do care so much about animals.

I have a baby gate up where Kitty's litter box is. She can easily leap over the gate where the boys could not. I think I had kitty for almost a year before I caught Prince in it. Luckily, he didn't eat enough to make him sick.

Cat pooh is one of Kyra's favorite snack . We consistently patrol the yard for it. Believe me if they eat any you will know, the smell on their little faces afterwards is horrible. We don't own any cats but our neighbors cats seem to think our yard is their litter box.

It's so frustrating that cat owners so often let them roam free. Minnie came so close to killing a neighbor's cat one time. Cat was in the back yard and didn't notice Minnie until Minnie was halfway there, and as the cat jumped up on the fence Minnie dug her nails into the cat's back and dragged it down off the fence and cornered it, ready to go in for the kill until I caught up and jumped in the middle to give the cat an escape route.

I don't understand it either, my cats are fixed and totally indoor cats, with the exception of Gizmos buddy Lucy who only goes for walks with us on a leash haha :-) its too dangerous for cats to roam outside alone, mine are all rescued feral cats that have been raised and bottle fed by me. People not being responsible is how all these feral babies that I have rescued are born.

On another more positive note :-) 2 trips back and forth to vets today and all 3 kitties, and Gizmo all got their worm shot, what a job that was lol. Gizmo is o much better but sleeping right now because the shot. His hind leg is sore where he got it, so I massaged and cuddled him for a while, and now he's napping :-) he's back to firmer poops, although not 100% like They were but from enough to pick up on a walk :-) he's also eating well and back to his regular diet, and the vet is very happy with his progress :-) I am breathing a sigh of relief right now after getting all the vet stuff over with this morning and all the chaos lol. Ahhhhh time to relax my back now and lay on my heating pad for a bit while he naps.

Thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers. It seems to have worked and gotten little Gizmo through yet another rough patch in his little road XOXO, oh and I totally messed up on his age lol, he's actually already 9 months old, not 8 as I posted in an earlier post. What's sad is my husband actually was the one to point it out to me hahaha. And I'm usually the details person around here lol.

Happy to hear Gizmo is doing well and steadily improving. Glad to hear too that your big day at the vet is over. Whew!

Praying Gizmo will be back to 110% soon. (Yorkies are more than 100%, lol, especially when they are puppies)
