Purrs to all in advance because I haven't read here as much as I used to.

Poor Rhett. He's had diarrhea for a couple of days and he was scheduled
for a vet appt yesterday for his rabies shot, so I had to just take
Scarlett because I couldn't find Rhett in time. Vet said if Rhett's
diarrhea lasts until tonight that I need to get him in Monday. So he will
be off to the vet in the morning. I think I'll have to leave him. He is
drinking water (a lot) but not eating. I want TED to get him fluids if he
needs them, and just a quiet place to sleep while she watches him. I've
had to clean his bottom 3 times and he hates it. But after the first time,
he doesn't hide from me so I can tell he knows I'm just making him feel
better. He has the saddest meow. His eyes are droopy. I have no idea
what could be causing this - no food changes, and there isn't anything he
could have gotten into.

When I take him to TED tomorrow morning I'll make sure she doesn't give
him his rabies shot just because he's due. I'm sure I don't have to tell
her that but I want to make sure.

I am so relieved to say that he is acting almost normal again! I wonder
if the subq fluids did that? He's still a bit stinky and he'll need to
be bathed again but I'm not going to bother him with that tonight. He
doesn't have a wet butt and tail like he's had so it can wait. He just
smells.

How's he doing today? Purrs for him (and you!) - hope he's better soon.


Thank you everyone for the purrs. The amazing power of the purr.
He is doing much better! Almost like a new cat. I'm so relieved.

Purrs and prayers for all to be sorted tomorrow.

Thank you both! He was better the next day and it's continued. I still
don't know what it was but maybe just a simple upset tummy.
