    Default Sick, sick, sick!

    So, I was sick a few days ago with a stomach bug - gastro I guess? Or food poisoning as it was after I ate food from a restaurant. Never threw up but had so much diarrhea (lol), nausea, a very slight fever. I fought it off in two days, woohoo! Hadn't been sick in oh, 4 yrs...

    So now we got a kitten - her mother has liver disease and the 3 others littermates died. We rescued Olive and are nursing her back to health until we find her a home. She is half the size she should be, and she's 4 weeks old. So she's sick with a upper respiratory infection. And she doesn't poo/pee when stimulated - need some good thoughts for Olive, please. Poo, poo, poo! And pee! Please!

    And now my husband is sick. He spent the day working outside, without water or food Can't believe he did this to himself. He has a headache and is very tired, a bit nauseated too. I'm having him drink water, some gatorade, he's eating a tiny bit of a potato too to get some potassium in him. Anything else I can do? I have 2 sickies to take care of. Help!

    You can put 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt in every 16 oz water and that ought to really help your husband.

    I sure don't know about the kitten. I know mother cats lick and eat all that so I would think a warm rag would do it.

    Hoping you all get better!
