These show Annie's left eye fairly well. (It is looking better every day, but still not totally normal):

These are pictures of her in her carrier, with her CareBear, prayer lamb, and little toy mouse.
The prayer lamb says the following prayer:
"Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
May Angels watch me through the night
Until I wake to morning light"
Now how appropriate is that for this precious little girl?!:)
AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

OK! Now that I have the pictures all posted, I'll update you on other things:
Annie is eating like a little piggy again today, and her eyes are looking better. The right one looks normal again, and the left one is a little better than yesterday. I called the Vet. this morning and talked to the front desk person. She said she doesn't have a Vet. in the office this afternoon, and to just keep a close eye on little Annie for now. As long as she is eating and sleeping and pooping and pottying OK, she should continue to improve.
Annie is still on the Amoxi twice a day, and the eye ointment twice a day also. She is more alert and aware of things every day it seems. I am really concerned about the possibilty of the Calcivirus thing. I am just now getting home and reading this, so I'll have to look it up in the many books about kittens that I have, and see what they say about it. I know that my Vet. can be available on an emergency basis if necessary. I feel like Annie is doing quite a bit better every day, and except for the one incidence of vomiting yesterday evening, she is eating well and keeping it down.
I'll have to do some reading, and find out what some of you think, and see how Annie does this evening. Just when I start feeling like things are going really, really good, something like this comes up and kind of puts a damper on things. But I know there are still lots of prayers and support out there, so I think she'll continue to improve. She's a little fighter, and seems to have a strong will to live.
I did take Annie over to my "mother's" house yesterday (long story there, but a lady who is a mother figure to me) to meet her. I kind of wonder if that had anything to do with her vomiting last night. She vomited the day I had her stay at my friend's house last week while I worked a long day, too, but ate very well the next day. Could it be that the change in environment, or the car ride or something, is upsetting her stomach? I hope that's all it is. Like I said, Annie has been eating VERY well again today, more than ever.
I'll continue to update you, and please continue to offer prayers, support, encouragement, suggestions, etc. This is the first time I've ever had to do anything like this with such a young kitten, so I have a lot to learn yet and am open to all of your advice!
Thanks so much!:)
She is so adorable!! And it's obvious that whatever you all are doing for her is working.
Prayers for as long as you and Annie need them, for sure.
After the kittens I fostered started throwing up the clear liquid with the white stuff, they stopped eating, so that's a good sign it may not be calicivirus...praise God. She's so adorable. I'm glad she has a wonderful mommy and daddy who care so much about her. The Humane Society wanted to euthanize the kittens with their mommies, because they were sick. I paid for their care out of my own pocket too.
She vomited some thick white stuff tonight, so I called the Vet. and spoke to her directly. She said that as long as Annie is eating well for the most part, eliminating normally, and not acting depressed, to just keep an eye on her for now. We can take a stool sample in tomorrow to be tested for worms, and also can take Annie in to have her lungs listened to again, etc.
Annie does seem almost playful tonight.
I gotta go---the tornado sirens are sounding and we're going to hide out in the basement until the "all clear" is given...... We already have the furkids down there.
Be back later, I hope!
Wow, I've had a lot of reading to catch up on since I visited this post last!
Annie seems to be doing better! I'm so glad that she has you and your family fighting for her!
She is so sweet!
Keeping Annie in my thoughts & prayers!
:)
Well, little Annie ate quite a bit again just a little while ago. Shadow's climbing up my leg to join me now. I'll go ahead and post a couple of his pictures here, too:

Look at how big Shadow is in the postal scale bucket thingy compared with Annie:

The tornado warning is over and the storm system has moved on to the north and to the east. Shadow did NOT like being confined to his carrier while we were taking shelter in the basement!
Annie did just fine, but she started crying because she was hungry again just before we got the "all clear" to resume normal activity. She ate quite a bit, and is now snuggled up to her CareBear, sleeping.
I'll post more tomorrow if there is any news re. worms, lungs, etc......
Look at how impossibly cute she is! I would have done the exact same thing as you - no way I could have put her to sleep! I knw what its like to have a sick foster and feel helpless and worried all the time. My little foster pulled through with flying colors and I soooooooo wanted to keep him. But he had a home all waiting for him once he was 100% healthy. He's now living the life of a pampered prince with his new family. Will Annie be living the pampered life rightwhere she is, or will she be spoiled by a new family? Fostering is hard work, isn't it? Its VERY rewarding too, you are already seeing its many blessings and the effect it has not only you, the cats, but your family also.
So glad to hear how well she's doing! Keep up the good work. She's thriving because of your care and tenderness for her.
Awww.....she is just such a cutie pie! I'm so glad you guys were willing to go the extra mile for her. She is going to grow up to be a real beauty! The picture with her pawpie is just too adorable! And Shadow you silly kitty! Just because Annie goes on the scale that means you have to also? ;) :D
Thanks for all the pics and uppydates! :D
What a gorgeous little kitten!
I'm so glad to hear how far along little Annie has come.
What adorable pictures of her and Shadow is such a sweetie also.
I'm also happy to hear that the Tornado warning is over and everyone remained safe.
How did little Annie's vet appointment go?
Annie, it doesn't take much to fall totally and completely in love with you! You are so very lucky to have found a meowmie and a pawpie that protect you, care for you, and love you so very much. You have acquired quite an extensive fan club here on PT. Please ask meowmie and pawpie to keep those pictures coming. It's so nice watching you grow healthy and strong. Keep getting better there, little one!
