Cricket’s second vet visit

Cricket won’t be needing more antibiotics— his eyes have fully healed, his upper respiratory congestion is gone, and he’s even gained a little weight over the last two weeks! He’s still just a baby with a sensitive immune system, so stress affects him easily and he’s now taking a supplement to help boost his defenses.

During Friday’s vet visit he spiked a fever of 40°C, so he received a Meloxicam shot and we were told to monitor him at home. Thankfully, it turned out to be stress-related; his temperature has stayed perfectly normal ever since.

And the BEST news of all: Cricket tested NEGATIVE for FeLV/FIV! Soon he’ll be joining Catroom 1, where he’ll meet youngsters Cheeky and Frankie and of course the rest of the older gang.
