Thanks everyone. He is doing a lot better with his medication too. He has never given me an issue, despite how bitter they say it is. He has gained a good amount of mass/size in the last week or so and looks much healthier. Last night, he was just bursting at the seams with energy from about 10PM-1AM when I went to bed. LOL! He is getting much better at entertaining himself too, but the only way to really get him tired at night is a good 20 minute session with the wand and a couple toys.

Well, Sorte seemed to be doing a bit better as he was taking his last medication. He has been more active and eating/drinking well, yet his stool has still been between soft/runny. I went and took another sample in today and they found he has both Giardia and Coccidia. Poor guy has probably had this since he got here. They have prescribed him Metronidazole and Albon. My wife and I did a whole house cleanse and I washed all his litter boxes and food/water dishes with a diluted bleach mixture. Looks like he will be on meds for another 2 weeks or so. Hope this will clear things up for him this time. I want to see him healthy and "normal" and be sure that he is getting right nutrition during these growing times.

Thanks Paige. It think he is going through a growth spurt right now too. He eats a good amount after play time then sleeps a lot off and on during the day right now. I wish I could be feeding him a good, nutritional food already, but I can't change anything still until his meds are done and he checks out OK. So it's still Iams for now...

Yeah, hes eating... as long as I play with him. LOL! If I tire him out, he will go eat a good bowl of food. If he doesn't get play time though, he walks over to his food bowl and eats about 4-5 bites and leaves. He might do that 3-4 times a day. So I do my best to get 3-4 good play sessions in per day which is not a problem since I have been laid off for a little over a month now. I am home quite often.
