Am anxious to hear what the vet had to say. I'm still praying, too for darling Annie and her new family. :) Come on, Anniegirl! You've got lots of folks rooting for you!!! We all want to see you grow up into a beautiful calico lady, full of spit and vinegar!!
I too can't wait to hear a vet report.
Rie read me your post yesterday when I was on the boat.. I couldn't WAIT to see this new little baby and searched for this thread.. Life has kept interrupting so I am late responding..
What an adoreable little thing she is and I knew as soon as I saw her picture that she was a keeper! I think it is super great that Shadow now has a little sister!! JUST what he needs! Now we can watch them both grow up and I am thrilled for you.. The only thing better than having a kitten in the house is have TWO kittens in the house.. That is going to be SO MUCH FUN!!!! Ahhhh, how I envy you!!:rolleyes:
Hi, Sweet Annie! Just checking in to see how you're feeling today. Your wanting to start running around and exploring is good news And it also sounds like you're getting quite an appetite, eating all that good food will help you feel better and grow up to be healthy and strong. Still praying for you and your wonderful human angels. Just remember, the vet is your friend. Please be sure to let your Pet Talk Fan Club know what Doctor says.
SHE POOPED!:D She got an enema, and SHE POOPED, and POOPED, and POOPED some more!!!
She weighed in at 9.5 ounces (BEFORE the poop, so I'm thinking she probably weighed about .5 ounces AFTER the poop!:D ) The Vet. says her lungs sound a little congested, but not bad, and there's no need to have her PTS at this point!:) :) :) If we can get her through this next week, she will have an EXCELLENT chance of living a long, healthy, happy life!
She is 2 1/2 to 3 weeks old, and as long as she is eating and pottying and pooping, and taking her medicine, she should pull through. We got another enema to bring home with us, so we can use that on her if needed, if she doesn't poop again on her own within the next two or three days. There was no evidence of any blood in her urine or in her stool, so she's OK in that respect.
I took a couple of pictures of her sitting in the postal scale "bucket thingie" getting weighed. I used my 35 mm camera, so will have to wait to get the film all used up and then developed before I can post it. THAT REMINDS ME, I should have some developed photos at Sam's Club to pick up today. I'll go get them and then post another message on here with some MORE PICTURES!
But before I go, I wanted to let everyone here know that I called the Humane Society back after the Vet. appointment, and updated them on how she's doing. I told them that we are paying for her care and want to adopt her if she makes it through this, and they said that will be fine. They want us to wait a couple more weeks to make sure she's going to pull through, though, which is fine with us. She's still living with us and getting the medical care she needs, so we know she's as safe as she's going to be.
I also asked a little more about her history. She was brought in from an area about 30 miles north of the town I live in, and there was no mother and no litter mates when she was brought in. She was approximately 2 weeks old. She was sent to a foster home with a nursing mother, but the other kittens in that litter were sick so she was returned to the Humane Society to try to separate her from the sick ones. I'm not sure how long she was at that foster home, but it must have been only a day or two at the most.
The person I spoke with at the Humane Society didn't deny that they would have had her PTS if I had taken her back there. But since I didn't, and since I WON'T, we don't even have to worry about that any more......
Isn't it amazing how a little poop can make us so happy? :p
Keep going little Annie, you have a big brother waiting to play with you and love you. :D
:D It is funny isn't it. A simple thing can make us soo excited. And I think everyone of here are so in love with little Annie they we are all praying as hard as her new meowmie for her to get well.
And as long as Annie needs prayers and kitty angels and get well vibes we will keep sending them. Come on sweet little Annie. You are a fiesty little calico and you can beat this.
I'm so happy to hear Annie is doing much better. Can't wait to see the photos. You've done an excellent job so far and she's one lucky kitten!
what a little beauty.
who wouldn't she charm?
So glad to hear that little Annie is hanging in there for you! Thank GOD she doesn't have the diarrhea issues!:rolleyes: ;)
