The first few days in care…

Are some of the hardest. ❤️‍🩹

There’s fleas, ear mites and intestinal worms to treat.

Plus scared little hearts and confused little minds.

😔

These babies also have varying degrees of a gastrointestinal bacterial infection.

Too much bad bacteria and not enough good bacteria in the gut is a recipe for diarrhoea.

Plenty of stinky, messy 💩💩💩

😬

Which can quickly lead to dehydration and malnutrition.

Thankfully they are turning the corner now and heading for the home stretch.

We’re seeing solid poops and less mess. 👍

➡️ Poop is like a health report.

It can tell us SO much about a cat’s intestinal and overall health!

One of the first things I examine in new fosters is their pees n poos. 😃

Signs of illness can often be seen in a cat’s appetite… and litter tray.

Which is the cue to contact your vet asap!
