Copper

We have discovered green foam on our boiling burdock root and steel cut oats. We understand this to be an indication of corrosion in our copper pipes, the copper leaching into our drinking water. And guess what? Copper overdose symptoms include -- guess -- diarrhea and anemia. So, we've filtered our water for copper and other things. How long has copper been leaching into our water? No clue. But it's gone now. We also have started giving her raw food in addition to her dry. Rose just looooves the raw food!

Her poop is a little better today, after these two changes and the our giving her filtered water we had on hand yesterday.

And just in case it's coccidia, we've ordered Kocci Free herb formula from Wolf Creek Ranch, a kind of cool company in southern Cali that makes a lot of cool pet stuff.

Keep your fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for kitty, leading to an increased blood count and getting spayed soon. We really, really, really don't want her to start her heat cycles. Really.
