Dateline: Today, 1.30pm
No diarrhoea!
Just slightly soft stools from Ginger and Smurfy today. Also, from Juno. But all with form.
All three have been eating very well.
I’ve personally collected Rey, Lynx, Minnie and Robin’s faeces and none of them has diarrhoea.
So while Juno’s was due to a coccidia infection, Ginger and Smurfy’s was due to something in their diet. The new thing in Ginger’s diet was the switch to cooked food. I’ll put that on hold and revert to his raw, canned and kibble (all familiar regular food).
Smurfy actually did not eat anything new, perhaps only a tiny bit. I cannot pinpoint exactly what caused Smurfy’s tummy upset. It could even be something he ingested which I know nothing about.
Luckily, it’s not en masse. And luckily, the Blondies, Tabs and Juno are okay too. They also had exposure to the new foods. Only Riley did not because she refused to eat anything new.

Smurfy – already sombong and it’s now very difficult to get him to come down. Perhaps he thinks he is well enough and doesn’t need anymore medication. Yesterday, he was so obedient in coming down to take his medicines. The moment I shake the kibble jar, he comes down. Now? No more. But I managed to feed him the Kaolin-Pectin this morning. Took several tries before it was successful.
Minnie is fine and is eating again.
