The last two weeks I have been taking care of two of the barn kittens & moved them into the basement sunroom. Whitey an angora about 2 months old contracted pneumonia & wasn't drinking his special kitten formula. I found him in the basket dehydrated & very sick. I went and got some amoxicillin at the veterinaries. He wasn't eating or drinking so used a syringe to hand feed him. It did not look good for about 3 days. Then Whitey snapped out of it & is doing really fine now.

About 3 days ago I did the barn chores & went to town. While I was gone hubby was outdoors & our dogs were barking at something in the barn yard. Bear another kitten got himself frozen to the water tank pipe. Hubby got some warm water & thawed Bear off the pipe. He bought him into the sunroom & laid him in the cat kennel & Whitey went & laid with Bear. I got somemore Amoxicillin for Bear to ward off infection. He is another long haired kitten. Hubby wrapped the pipe in burlap so none of the other longer haired cats won't get stuck. I keep the sunroom at 40 degrees & both kittens are comfortable. Both the sweethearts are doing fine & will be indoors until spring. The dogs literally saved Bears life.
