Found a few Birdie pics. I couldn't find any update ones during his recovery, but have pics from when he went to catfamily.


When first rescued - QSAL thought he wouldn't even make it:


...we tried to get some baby food into him with an oral syringe, and while opening his mouth I saw a weird thing...a huge glob of who knows what lodged underneath his tongue! It took a bit of work to get it out, and then uncurl his tongue which was headed down his throat.
"Bigger than a half dollar coin."



Another pic from rescue day:


Next day:
With a lot of encouragement the baby ate quite well for me. Almost half a jar of baby food mixed with KMR powder, and vitamins with iron etc. I cleaned the excess off his face and discovered he has a small hole under his chin! No idea if it was perforated from inside or outside, but I'm going to be starting him up on antibiotics after he recovers from eating breakfast. He is still seething with fleas so I put several drops of Advantage on him to kill those nasty evil creatures. He's snuggled up on his heating pad now, and I'll let him rest for a few hours and then give him more Sub-Q fluids and antibiotics and another meal. Poor little garbage covered baby boy. It's tragic seeing him.
About a year old:
