I'm glad that there are some treatment options for you, even though I wince at the cost, having recently started the series of vaccinations on the kitten, and booster for Diesel, to the tune of about $170 for the first and $40 for the second. That's on top of the $86 for tests and such for the kitten when he was vomiting every hour or so and only weighed 14 ounces.
Scooter (the kitten) is now up to 4 pounds. That's a good thing. When I had him in 3 weeks ago he only weighed 2.4, still prey-sized for the rat snake that's in the house someplace.
I don't know if I wrote that E.T. is now part of the family. There are still some hisses and chases, but no fights. He's behaving very well toward the kitten, too. Who would have thought that a 20 pound fighting blur of claws could ever be such a pussycat?

I took a sick half day from work yesterday to take Braveheart & Seamus to the vet. Seamus had been limping since Friday but I couldn't determine why. Vet said that since all seemed ok with him, his guess was a bee sting; he gave him an injection to help speed recovery. Guess what! Seamus' weight is down to 18.9 from 23.5 last June. Braveheart (now up to 9.5 from a previous 8.9 pounds) is not doing well in the walking department, seems to be getting worse. Vet put him back on Cosequin for arthritis and suggested I sprinkle potassium on his food. Cleaned more wax from his gnarley ears, kept using a camera to find more, and gave me stuff to put in daily for a week, and then once weekly, to dissolve the last bit he couldn't reach. As to BH's occasional avoidance of the litterbox, he prescribed Litter Magnet, which you mix with the litter and is supposed to entice them to use it. We'll see. Smelled suspiciously like ground catnip which BH can't seem to smell. 

$123 later we're all home safe and sound.
