Thanks. The good news is that the diarrhoea seems to have passed. I’ve not had to wash her since Sunday morning and she went out for a dump this evening and came back clean, so she was treated to some soup. She was so pleased she purred while eating. She’s now relaxing in her tipi, in preparation for a hard night’s sleep.

Dizzy has an upset tummy. This means diarrhoea, and on a Maine Coon this is not good news at all. Two days ago we had to put her in the bath and shower down her rear end while massaging the semi-dried shit out of her fur - she doesn’t struggle too badly but she obviously isn’t keen on it. There was some more the next morning, which I had to wash out with warm water and kitchen towel, and she’s come in this morning with more poo stuck to the back of her legs and around her butt, so it’ll wash time in the next half hour.
We’ve also had to restrict her to dry food, which is hard on her as she loves her Sheba soup twice a day, but she’s taking it well. She’s on the bed now, the throw is very messy and there’s a faint whiff of shit in the bedroom. The joys of having a cat.
