The bitties are he Good News and Bad News

One safe way is to get a small tub of 'live' yogurt from a health
food store - check the label to see if it contains Lactobacillus
acidophilus and/or Bifidobacterium longum. I think live yogurts all
contain Lactobacillus. Offer him a teaspoon and see if he will lick
it voluntarily - it will do him no harm.

Oscar, sadly, is not a fan of yogurt. Maybe if they made it in ham
flavor ...

You can just get the Acidophilus capsules from a health food store.
Break a capsule and sprinkle the contents into and mix with Oscar's
food. I think it is tasteless. I have no problem getting Rusty to take
it. But
now I just give him yogurt which he likes and is much cheaper. I eat
yogurt regularly too. You should see how
fast we go through a tub of yogurt.


I just had a mental picture of you and Rusty sitting at a table with a
tub of yogurt between you and both diving your paws in to get each
luscious bit.

Good news:

They are so TINY!!! each of them are the size of my foot, and i'm a
size 6 1/2. One is black and white with a tiny tux and gloves thing
going. The other is orange and white with a little bit of tabby
stripes. and they have such TINY little tails and their eyes are a
little bluish. Both are boys and the orange one is SUCH a love bug,
All you have to do is put a hand on him and he starts purring loudly.
They are such curious little buggers too. I set them up in my roomie's
bathroom with a large tupperware lid as a littler box, and food and
water.

The Bad news:

The orange one had a goopy eye when i first picked him up. I wiped it
off and it seems to be gone, but i still would like to get it checked
out. Apparently the black one was one that had the eye infection and
was treated with Neosporin and his eyes look fine.

Also both of them had fleas, especially the orange one. Into the sink
they went, much to their dismay. The black one was fine but the orange
one i spent a good five minutes picking fleas off his face. I then put
a tiny drop of advantage on both of htem and then hit Mischief with the
advantage. I couldn't catch the other two. Then this morning as
Mayhem is begging for her morning cuddles i founf a HUGE flea on her.
Grabbed her and put on the last tube of Advantage. Now i'm out of
Advantage and Imp is far under the bed. *sigh* Off to the bank and
then to the store to buy more. I'll grab him at dinner time.

BTW, they arrived past midnight so i slept in. At noon when i finally
rose i opened the door and went "Hello, little.......OH MY GOD!!!!!"
The stench was INCREDIBLE.

Both of them had watery diarrhea all over the bathroom floor. All over
the bath mat, on the towel/bed, in the litter box, behind the toilet.
And some of it was bloody.
snip
Poor little things. They are looking up at me with these questioning
eyes. They are so adorable, and i hope i can get them the care they
need.

purrs for both of them please!

Lots and lots of purrs and best wishes,
