I'm about to fail as a foster mom - sort of (new pics post 36)

[cassiesmom]

He's not very bubbly right now. When I took him in on the 13th for his first check up and shots, he had a respiratory infection. He was on med for it for 7 days. After he was off of it for several days, I noticed his eyes were watering and his nose running again.

I called the vet yesterday. I thought she could refill his med or see him if she thought he needed it. We have a long holiday weekend. They won't be open until Tuesday and our bus won't run again until Wedensday. That means 4 days I can't get him help if he needs it.

She said she didn't need to see him and didn't give him any med except for some drops for his eyes. She wants to give his vaccinations a chance to kick in. She said as long as he's eating....

Well, he ate a bit this morning but not much. He feels hot when I pick him up. He has played a bit but not his normal gung ho self at all.

So all I can do right now is pray. If something happens to him and she could have prevented it, I am gonna be one mad woman.

Uh oh! Big prayers for little Frankie!

He just asked for a snack. That's a good sign. Of course he got one.

Phred and Corinna... could you please murmur to God to help little Frankie get over whatever he's got. It's a long weekend, the veterinarian and public transportation aren't available, and his mum is worried.

I'm sorry to hear that baby Frankie isn't feeling well. I know that kittens immune systems are weaker than adult cats so maybe just the added stress of a new home and siblings has also caused some of this. I'm glad to hear that he's getting hungry again and I hope that his appetite continues to be good. Please try not to worry too much. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Sorry to hear that Frankie seems to be under the weather.
Did you say that he has already had his vaccinations? Maybe that's what is making him
act a little tired out. I'm glad he wanted to eat a snack though.

Prayers for little Frankie, over this long weekend...

Mr. Frankie seems to feel better this morning. He ate a bit of breakfast, some Temptations treats later, then a spoonful of wet food about an hour ago.

He has also: learned how to get on top of the toilet, the card table in the kitchen, the old tv stand in the middle room so he can look out the window, and how to climb up their extra bags of kitty kibble to get on the third shelf of my book case. I grabbed him before he started kicking books off. He is beating even Chip's ornery record. He is in the kitchen with Winnie, Angel, and Chester right now. All that just this morning!

He was a bit sneezing when he first woke up this morning though. phesina he did have his first shots. They were on June 13th. I'd think they would have kicked in by now but maybe not.

Ahhh, the antics of a kitten! They are entertaining, aren't they? Yesterday, Kimba got on top of my tall refrigeraor via the stove and was playing with the large bag of Royal Canin Kitten food I keep up there. I was on the computer in the dining area and heard a noise; Kimba, the bag of food, and a box full of kitty treat pouches all came tumbling down to the floor. Kimba was fine, but embarrassed, the food was all over the floor but I got most of it back in the bag, and the box of treats was still in one piece. They sure keep you on your toes, don't they?

I'm glad to hear that Frankie is eating and that he's exploring more. He must be feeling a bit better. I have to keep all of my cat food locked up in storage containers. If I just kept the bags of dry food out, my cats would tear open the bags and start eating whenever they wanted to. I learned this a long time ago when I adopted Sky. Enjoy Frankie's kitten antics because he'll grow up before you know it.

I'm glad to hear that Frankie is feeling better, I think there is a bit of an adjustment period when they come indoors, etc.

How are the other 2 doing outside and the mom cat?

MoFF, how is the littlest fuzzy-face doing?

MoFF, how is the littlest fuzzy-face doing?

He is doing fine. He is playing with a ball with a bell in it right now. He gets to eat meals with the big kids now. I still put him in the bathroom at night or if I have to be gone for a while. Chip likes to pick on the others so much, I'm afraid he might try that with Frankie.

Frankie could probably take care of himself though. I've seen him chase Chip and give him a taste of his own medicine. Frankie goes in Monday for his booster shots.

The others are still doing ok outside. It's been so hot here, I haven't been able to spend much time with them.
