Dumped Black Kitten

Hey everyone,

My pastors wife had a box this morning and all the children were gathered around. I knew trouble was brewing. My 2 children ran to me and told me she found a black kitten in the bushes at the church this morning. It had really smelly diarrhea, was skin and bones, was very young (about 7 weeks old), had balding spots, and they thought it was hit by a car or hurt in its hind end.

I told them I would take the kitten if no one else wanted it. Well guess what? We have her.

Luckily I have a terrific vet and we got her in today. Yes, they have Sunday hours - awesome isn't it?

He had ear mites and every kind of worm possible. The vet was really neat and let my kids see the kittens ear mites on a screen (it was gross), she also let them look through the microscope at the worms. They even bathed the cat because he must have had the diarrhea for a while and he had sore spots on the back of his legs and was completely raw, poor thing. The 176 for all the meds and tests. He was tested for feline luekemia and aids - both negative. But the vet was kind enough to give us a 10 percent discount so the bill came out to 160.10.

Now we need a name. He is mostly black with just a tiny bit of white on his chest. Any suggestions?

Smokey, Ash(es), Cinder.....

You're both Lucky to have each other. We have two cats that we adopted as rescued kittens and they have been wonderful additions to the family.

How about Angel. She showed up knowing someone from the church would take care of her.

In the Bible, when angels appear they always tell you to not be afraid. Even though her appearance was less than perfect, you chose to help her.

LOL! Great names. He sure is a lucky cat and spoiled too.

CLX is definately original. I'll mention that to the kids. I know it was a lot to spend and I didn't really need any unexpected bills right now. I think they did every test possible on him. I have other pets so I guess it's good we knew exactly what he had and got him treated for everything.

The kids are kind of thinking Ashy or Asher. I guess it will end up being whatever name they agree on.

He's seems to be doing really well. Eating and drinking a lot. He's not very active at all which bothers me but I have no idea what he went through and for how long. He must have come from some kind of home that gave him attention because he is very affectionate, not wild at all. I just wish I could see some spunk out of him. Maybe in a few days he'll be better.

Over the last 20 years all of my animals names have started with the letter B. When my 14 year old white cat Berkeley brought home a black kitten 6 months ago I named him BK, black kitty.It gets a few laughs but mostly eye rolls. :rolleyes:

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
