Fight Little Vincent
They are so fragile that I wish I could give them my strength.
I thought I might lose my littlest foster kitten, Vincent, today. All his meowing and never really settling down disturbed me big time. So I took the kittens to work with me today to have somebody take a look at him. He hasn't gained any weight which isn't good- but thankfully he hasn't lost any. They retested him for Panluke- a sickness that is like parvo for kittens....that they euthanize for. Thankfully he tested negative. He was dehydrated a bit so they gave him 10cc's of fluid. Afterwards he seemed quite a bit better. He settled down and was able to act like his adopted brother and sister, playing without meowing for attention, eating and resting.
We're not out of the woods. I have to monitor his food intake, feeding him separately, high calorie food. Watch his stools. Take him back in and have them check him out in a couple of days.
They are so fragile. We got four kittens in today. They didn't look well. One immediately got put down it was too far gone. One more is on the border. Their eyes are so infected that when they opened them for cleaning, they spewed puss. Another kitten was turned back in from foster care. Tested positive for Panluke. He's basically on death row, eventhough he looks ok. How sad is that? The little angel never had a chance.
I'm going to fight for little Vincent. I'm going to make sure he gets anything and everything he needs to survive and live a long life. The sad part is, once he's out of my hands, it's up to the adopter to do the right thing for him. I don't trust anyone to be as good as I am.
You think those ASPCA commercials are bad? Just come to work with me.
