My little boy baby does not seem to be doing well. :( I just got done forcing him to have his night time meal.
What am I doing wrong? :confused: :(
EDIT 7-2-07
I am taking Doc Bellows to the vet today. He is just TOO thin. :( Maybe it is nothing, but I need to have him looked at for peace of mind.
EDIT 7-7-07
Culture resulted in NO GROWTH. So who knows why he was frail. :confused: But he is eating now, and working on catching up with his sister.
Well, no one had the opportunity to see this yet, but this morning he seems more perky. He is still going to go to the vet tomorrow morning as a precaution. And Maybelline is going for the vet's opinion on her hair (or lack there-of)
But please kee Dr. Bellows in your prayers. I fear he is not out of the woods yet.
Do you ever get any sleep? You are not doing anything wrong! Those babies have a better chance under your care than they do anywhere so quit thinking that. Sometimes things just come along that knocks them down and humans have nothing to do with it, it is just nature. I am glad to hear he is feeling better and hope by the time tomorrow comes, this will be just a bad memory.
It's what you are doing that is right.
He wouldn't stand a chance without you.
Keep the faith.
And the prayers are on the way for both of you. You're not doing anything wrong, Jen. Unfortunately things come up that we have no control over, as sad as it may be baby kitties seem vulnerable to an assortment of problems. You give everything for your fosters so they'll be happy and healthy. And may I say you're wonderful at what you do for all these little ones. Be easy on yourself. Please let us know what your vet has to say?
Oh Jen, I am so sorry. ((hugs)) to his foster mommy and daddy.
PS: I'll see you this afternoon at the adoption event (with Cam!)
Jen - I didn't see your post til just now.
I hope Dr. Bellows comes through just fine...remember Maybelline, she was almost a goner!
Your bottle babies are doing WAAAY better than they would anywhere else! Please think of how many have done WELL!
HUGS!
I Dont Think That You Are Doing Anything Wrong Jen. Its Just These Kittensre So Fragile And Weak,
You Are Thier Hope And We Are Praying That They Will All Make It To Be The Cats Our Lord Intended For Them To Be.
Jen, you are giving the BEST care to all the little ones!!! Prayers for Dr. Bellows and you, too!!
Adding Dr Bellows to the list. :)
Lots of prayers on the way for Dr. Bellows to get feeling purr-fect! With your love and care I'm sure that Dr.Bellows will be better in no time:)
Imagine how bad it would be for him and the others if you weren't there. You're doing more than most people, so rest easy. :)
Doc Bellows is giving me a roller coaster ride :rolleyes:

7am......perky and willing to eat.
1pm......refused to eat, had to force. sad looking
4pm......playing with his sister.
