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?

I have to say, I vote for Lucky too....are cat's name is Lucky. He was a stray and we named him that. It sounds like your kitty is one Lucky cat :)

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:

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
