Title: Saber learns a new trick...
Post by: Clark Kent on August 13, 2004, 08:02:16 pm

I was sitting here, playing on the webb when saber was sitting on my bed cleaning himself up, just because that's what he does when I here this sound, kinda like air being let out of a balloon that's too tight.  I wasn't sure i really heard it, o I went back to my computer.  A few seconds later I heard it again, slightly louder, and wondered where it was coming from.  Several seconds later, again, and slightly louder with a little squeak added to it this time. 
I quickly tracked down the source of the sound- Saber, apparently with a good deal of gas, and making more sound than any small creature should in that way. 
Good thing I have been burning a scented candle all day and into tonight.

I'm not sure a lit flame is a good idea, there's the risk of explosion.  ::)

This is true, but the candle was already lit when he let rip(again and again).

Are you giving him milk?  If so, don't--it gives them the runs.  :-X

Try to give him only water to drink.

Oh no...
He most certainly doesn't get milk from me.  I know better than that.

Does he still have gas?  Is he in pain?  Has his personalty changed?  Is he more sleepy, just as active as before or even more active?  Are there any hard or mushy lumps on his belly that shouldn't be there?  Do they hurt when you touch them if there are? 

OK yeah it might just be gas.  What did he eat?  Don't feed it to him again.  Even pets can have alergies! :-\

I on;y feed him IAMS kitten food, so if he's getting something else to eat, I'm not giving it to him.  He didn't seem to be in any pain, and I have to admit that he's been a bit less active lately, but he also likes to spend alot of tme with my dad's dog, and cuddle with her, whos' around 15 years old.  Other than his choice in play partners he seems to be just as energetic.  Haven't noticed and lumps on his belly.

That's good but keep an eye on him.  Take him to the vet if there are any sudden changes and don't forget to mention his gas.  Good luck dad!
