Quick trip to the vet

Our little boy have had some troubles the last four days. There has been blod around his stool and we could not figure out why. We tried to give him more wet-food and less dry-food since the stool was really hard, but when it softened the blood was still there.

Last night we took him to the venetianare. Had fun listening to the young Chinese man trying to pronounce his name. He asked a bunch of questions which made us safe that he could find the problem. Ymir and the vet walked into another room where we were told he would get a gloved finger up his butt. There is a first for everything, Ymir. All men need to do it at some point in their life.

When they came back he had the answer. There was a tear at the side of the anus causing the bleed. Every time he tried to poop the tear would go up. If he was human he would scream from the pain, the vet explained. Poor kitten. He informed us to buy pumpkin and mix with his food to soften the spill, but we needed to soften it now since he was in so much pain and so we bought two bottles of medicin.

Pink bottle - Chlorhexidine.
Wipe his butthole with this, twice a day, to help the wound heal properly.

Green bottle - Lactulose
2 ml from a piston syringe down the throat, twice a day, to loosen the spill

He will thank us for this torture when the diarrhoea comes...

    1. Much better. After the first dose of lactulose it looked like a weeks worth of shit in the litterbox :) no blood so far. We will continue with the medication though.
