Dr. Luckow called this morning, with the results of the Bartinella test. On a scale of zero (no infection) to four, Julian tested at 4+.
We'll have to get him medicine, and give it to him once a day for three weeks. And we're advised not to let him scratch us, because Bartinella is the thing that causes cat-scratch fever. Given this tiger-cub kitten, that's probably impossible unless I wear long pants and long sleeves at all times. Right. In a New York summer.
I am more and more annoyed at KittyKind: not just because he's got this and the worms, but because they assured us he was healthy and wouldn't need to see a vet for a year.
And I am very glad we got our pretty Julian away from them, before they could give him to someone who would have listened to their advice and let him be sick for a year.
