The vet called today with test results. First, the stool sample was fine. However, he does have an ear infection and must have an oral antiobiotic for two weeks, as well as a silver sulfadiazine solution dropped into his ear every 8 hours (tricky when you work 8-5). It's the same cocktail he had for the last couple of infections that cropped up. He gets very hard-to-kill bacteria in there.
When I picked up the prescriptions after work today, I also purchased a large bag of the Purina special diet. Very expensive. A small, 4-oz bag was $22. I got a large bag, but because they had messed up on getting the one I wanted, they offered to give me a large bag for the small bag price. So I'm going to have to sequester Khan for his meals, as I can't afford to let all 4 cats eat it (even though they are allowed to, the vet said; it's just easy-to-digest food). The others get Science Diet. Nova, however, seems to also love the Purina, and has been trying all kinds of tricks to sneak by me and get to it before Khan. She only likes it so much because I am denying it to her. She's that kind of cat. :-)
We have to go back in two weeks for a recheck.

Our sweet little Khan Boy. It just never ends does it? Please keep us all posted on his recheck.
I found it very interesting about his affinity for soft rugs!
He is definitely a character! He got extra love and attention last night after getting his first pill and ear drops. It made him a little tired.
