William went to his new home last week and has been a little off colour. He is now fine and his vet seems to think it was just the initial upset of moving home. It is such a traumatic time for a kitten. I try to socialise my little ones to be able to cope with all that life throws their way but even the most confident kitten can have a bit of a wobble especiallly when leaving everything he knows to go on the adventure of a new life, understandable really but it is still such a worry. William's new vet also diagnosed William with a small hernia and a possible undescended testicle. All my kittens are vet checked twice but this is the second time a kitten has left me only to be diagnosed with an undescended testicle when they have been registered with their new vet, only this time a hernia as well. I rely and pay for the vets to do their job and feel gutted that these things have been missed. I also feel a failure that I haven't pick up on this myself. So today is one of those low days when I realise I still have a lot to learn.
I do take comfort though when I get updates of kitten's past. This picture is of Miya in her garden, looking beautiful as always and one of the reasons I will continue to breed Russian's.
Needless to say I will be using my local vet in future as appose to the vaccination and neutering centre.
