Dr. Bellows needs your prayers. *UPDATAED* (7-7-07)

[jenluckenbach]

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?

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. But he is eating now, and working on catching up with his sister.

[jenluckenbach]

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.

[rosethecopycat]

It's what you are doing that is right.
He wouldn't stand a chance without you.

Keep the faith.

[momcat]

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?

[catnapper]

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!)

[Taz_Zoee]

Adding Dr Bellows to the list.

[Kalei]

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

[Medusa]

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.

[jenluckenbach]

Doc Bellows is giving me a roller coaster ride
At 3am.......weak, and refusing to eat.
7am......perky and willing to eat.
1pm......refused to eat, had to force. sad looking
4pm......playing with his sister.
6pm......ate on his own.........

What will tonight bring? I fear to speculate.

This little guy is giving you a run for your money! He doesn't know how persistent you can be!!

[jenluckenbach]

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.

He IS eating, but I do not know if it is enough. He just doesn't look as good as his sister.

[rkidsrcats]

We hope the vet has some ideas as to why he is so thin and how to get some meat on those little bones.
Good luck!

Dr. Bellows - hope the doc finds the perfect food for you!

Makes me think of a teenage male - their metabolism is roaring, and they are so active they burn off whatever they eat. Hollow leg syndrome!

Prayers for the wee guy.
