Must be hard trying to curb your excitement though Sarah - he's such an endearing little scrap. Very pleased to hear he's bright and perky, and praying this continues to be the case. Sending a gentle little tickle for Colby's tum.

LesleyW · « **Reply #303 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:24:33 AM »

So pleased to hear he is okay and here's hoping the no poo is a good sign at last.

Hopefully, you are all getting a bit more rest now, but I know exactly what you mean about not getting your hopes up, I am always like that and even when Monty reached six months, he still had that look that I knew he wasn't out of the woods and sadly I was proven right.

BUT let's hope all the good signs for Colby will continue and lots of headbutts, cuddles and stuff to all of you, including now Nurse Herbie

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #302 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:20:39 AM »

morning all

sadly..... no poo this morning!

not even a teeny weeny drop!

That said there was hardly any seepage poo on his bedding this morning and only a tiny amount at his wee bum...... so... could it be his wee gut has emptied itself and is now processing all the new stuff going in?? we hope so.

His tummy isn't bloated so we are trying to take that as a good sign and he was very bright and happy to see us this morning when we went to check on him.

He was actually calling for his breakfast when we walked in with his food bowl

and we made it a bit thicker this morning so he had to work a wee bitty harder to eat it.

He didn't clear his bowl in a 1-er although he did eat around 75% of it which was great and then settled down to clean himself and a wee snooze after all that hard work.

The difference in the wee fella over the last 24 - 48 hours has been quite amazing for us and he was even sat trying to play with nurse herbie through the bars of his cage last night

It is so hard not to get carried away and believe that he is going to be OK so we have to keep reminding ourselves to be realistic. That said he is such a little character and we are sure should he make it all the way he will be one little toerag.... but so sweet with it he will be irresistable.

He is fast becoming known as the devil cat or Count Colby round here as everyone who see's him comments on his little fang teeth poking out over his bottom jaw..... due to his teeth being those the age of a 7/8 mth old whereas he is only the size of a 10 - 12 wk kitten. It is quite funny to see but I can also assure you that they are one sharp set of nashers... being at the receiving end during bath time isn't something to be repeated!

How is the fighter this morning?

Yes hope Colby had a good night and you woke up to lots of poo from him. And most of all his bum was clean -

Hope Colby had another good night with more proper poos and lots of nom noms too

LesleyW · « **Reply #298 on:** February 23, 2009, 08:34:30 AM »

Hopefully, it's a good morning for you all, just pooping

in to top up the good vibes.

Topping up the Colby Cuddles.

No wonder he's tired, when you think of all he's been through. He was probably too scared to sleep more than fitfully before, yet feeling too ill and miserable to try much else. No wonder he snuggles in, when he gets the chance, bless him.

Lynds · « **Reply #296 on:** February 22, 2009, 18:53:18 PM »

It's unbelievable what this wee tike has gone through. I'm sending lots of positive vibes.

Hi guys

well Colby seems to have had a good-ish day today

After eating all of his brekkie he also tucked straight into his lunch bowl too finishing the whole lot in a single sitting!!

Scared to jinx anything I would possibly dare to say that we are starting to feel a little more positive about Colby but are still not getting our hopes up as we've been here before!!

He has been very very tired today and I don't think even a bomb going off would have woken him this afternoon. We had our usual afternoon cuddles where he snuggles in and goes to sleep as I stroke his wee head and match stick paws and he just adores human company and interaction. As soon as you go near him he starts to purr and has started to roll over in anticipation of a tummy rub

He did have some rather gloopy discharge this afternoon though so we had to go for another bath time which he wasn't overly impressed about. Once dried off he settled down for some sleep and a little later he and Nurse Herbie were playing through the bars!

Just about supper time so hopefully we will have a repeat performance of lunch and brekkie and will look forward to (hopefully) more poo in the tray in the morning!

(jings can't believe I'm wishing for pooh and already going through 10 bed changes a day!!

)

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #294 on:** February 22, 2009, 17:45:57 PM »

So glad Colby had a better night. Hope he's enjoyed himself today and that Nurse Herbie is keeping an eye on him.

MrsR · « **Reply #293 on:** February 22, 2009, 17:39:14 PM »

Woo hoo ... just caught up with the past 2 days of updates on Colby

He is definitely still moving in the right direction along the recovery road and great to hear his poo is firming up (Can't believe I actually look forward to poo updates so much!

).

Keep up the good work Sarah and Paul - you are obviously doing all the right things for the little man

Good that you are keeping a "log" of Colby's toilet habits

clarenmax · « **Reply #284 on:** February 22, 2009, 11:07:31 AM »

Well done Colby baby, proper poo in your box

Hope he has a good day and manages some play and purrs

BlueHeather · « **Reply #283 on:** February 22, 2009, 11:05:29 AM »

That sure sounds promising - come on Colby you can do it love

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #282 on:** February 22, 2009, 11:04:17 AM »

Morning folks.....

yip we still here..... got to 5.30 this morning and we were both SO exhausted we couldn't lift our head off the pillow... so we decided to take a days rest instead!

Well we got up this morning to 5 teeny weeny little bits of poo in Colby's litter box

and they weren't completely watery!!

Fingers and paws are so well and truly crossed that this is a step in the right direction for him. He has still had some leakage this morning but it is the first sign we have seen of a remotely formed poo!

He is also looking better in himself this morning and it has been so nice to see him first thing in the morning and him not look totally down and dejected.

He has already eaten his brekkie.... almost licking the bowl clean so I hope we are in for a promising day with the little fella!

pleased to hear that Colby is still doing really well I agree with Desley in that is tummy may need a little time to get used to regular meals it'sall a big change for his system

Awww, way to go Colby babe, keep eatin' and pooin' baby, and hope the discharge in his eyes clears up soon

blackcat · « **Reply #274 on:** February 21, 2009, 21:49:09 PM »

clever kitten

- the increased discharge might just be a sign that his body is strengthening and better able to fight the infection - hence more pus ... (I can't believe I just said that

)

Stuart · « **Reply #273 on:** February 21, 2009, 21:42:30 PM »

way to go ickle Colby

Colby's nightly update!

I apologise for no update this avo... but we have been rushed off our feet here today with appt's phone calls and tending to the wee man so we're kinda

and still gotta get things organised for doing the car boot sale in the morning to raise some very much needed funds at the mo!

The wee fella has eaten 2 bowls of food 1 at lunch and 1 at supper time. (Colby sized of a forkfull of RC with water) finishing off every last drop of food in one go!! Amount of poo on his bedding has begun to decrease as has the 'seepage' which we hope is a good sign and on having a feel around his tummy there is food on its way down his intestine.

He has been quite content this afternoon and enjoyed his cuddles, kisses and snuggling down with his teddy bear and snugglesafe.

We do have a little concern in that the green discharge from his eyes when he arrived has increased slightly today but we are hoping that its nothing sinister and his ab's will help ward off any infection he has had.

BY the looks of him just a few moments ago... comatose with teddy... I think he's in for a peaceful night and was purring away when I left him. Will update you all again tomorrow on his progress on our return from the boot sale!

Wishing special boy Colby a comfortable and restful night - glad to hear that you have eaten today wee one xxx

Still sending love, huggles and healing vibes your way little Colby -

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #270 on:** February 21, 2009, 20:09:08 PM »

Fingers crossed for him - maybe he has just eaten too much, and he isnt used to it, Tino is having similar probs, his tum makes awful noises, and the vet suspects it is cos he has gone for so long on such little food, that it is too much for him.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #269 on:** February 21, 2009, 17:55:53 PM »

Nom nom nom, lil' Colby. Come on, lil' man - you can get through this, baby.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #268 on:** February 21, 2009, 14:10:39 PM »

Well he has been a bit brighter this morning and has eaten his breakfast which is good news.

He does seem to be unsettled this afternoon though and in some discomfort with his stomach

.

Has loved getting all his cuddles and kisses from his many Aunts and Uncles

and says a big thank you to you all

Keep going wee man - it'll get less knackering!

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #266 on:** February 21, 2009, 11:49:14 AM »

I've just read out your report to OH, who's rooting for Colby as well. Come on, little fella, eat and poo, eat and poo

BlueHeather · « **Reply #265 on:** February 21, 2009, 10:55:58 AM »

Thanks for the update....... sure it's all the positive thoughts and prayers from everyone on here keeping Colby going and you two of course
