I always feel a little bad for the kittens as there is often medication involved (dewormers, etc).  I guess on one hand it gets them used to being picked up/held.  On the other hand - quite literally on my hands - ouch.  They don't mean to as everyone needs their first nail trim but my hands are a bit tender at the moment.  One little guy has been getting medication since his vet visit last Wednesday, 2x a day icky liquid and for the first few days a booty soak and wash with topical ointment.  All three were due for a second dose of dewormer on Saturday and now all three have to take another medication since the one's poo indicated a protozoal infection.

The other good news is that these needs force me to weigh them a little more religiously (time gets away from me otherwise) and I can see how quickly they're gaining weight.  The guy that went to the vet last week was 1#6oz and he was up to 2#2oz yesterday.  It's mind blowing.  The other male is the same size and our girl is a bit more petite weighing in at 1#11oz yesterday.

Hopefully they will all be at a weight and ready for spay/neuter when I return from vacation.

On another topic, who ordered more cold/rainy weather?  How was it so warm over a month ago and now we're cold and considering turning the heat back on.
