We rescued him from Dairy Queen.

The only emergency vet even remotely close to here is 45 minutes away, and due to an unfortunate encounter with a deer, our car only has one headlight.. We had it fixed, but little fingers (aka: My niece) poked holes in the tape so water got in and now it doesn't work at the moment.

I work during the day, and Robin cannot drive... She is on too much pain medicine for her cancer. So the only time we could go is once it is already dark..
I am off on Monday, and our appt. is for 9 a.m. Monday morning.. I did however call the E-vet to ask about the Clavamox, and he said we could give him 0.1cc 2 x's a day. We weighed him on the food scale, and he weighed 1.1lbs. I told the vet that we would be taking him to our regular vet on Monday, and he said just make sure that we tell them he has been on the clavamox.

Here are some new pics of him.. His eyes aren't near as red and puffy as they were.. Also, his little eyes haven't been completely matted shut in the mornings anymore.

He sure is a sweetie! Maybe Peanut or Buster, or even Parfait, te hee (now you knwo what I order at DQ!)

That's what I ordered when we went.. I have been thinking of naming him either Buster, or Blizzard.. Since he looks like an oreo blizzard.

I am trying so hard not to let myself get attached.. Because I agreed no more pets. Just Deebo and Alize'.. But this little guy is definitely not making it easy.. If he is sitting with me and I am not paying enough attention to him, he will put his little paws on my face (and pat them on me) or lick me on my cheek..

molucass - I am sorry, I had forgotten that the nearest vet is kinda far, and the others are closed.

So glad his eyes are better...and he'll see the doc on Monday and get all checked out!

Buster Parfait - cause, as you know, parfait means perfect!

He is still doing really good.. His eyes haven't been matted up AT ALL since we started giving him the clavamox.. His chest also doesn't sound as raspy.. I'm going to keep the vet appointment though so he can be checked out, but I just wanted to update that I think he is going to be ok!

*whew*

GREAT news!

This is wonderful news!! I hope that his vet exam goes well tomorrow and that all he has is a mild URI. Good luck.

I think that Blizzard is a very cute name for him and maybe someone at the vets office might want to adopt him or they might know someone who's looking to adopt a kitten.

He does have a slight respiratory infection.. The doctor said the clavamox was definitely helping, and he gave me some baytril to go along with the clavamox, just to be on the safe side, and to really kick it.
The vet says he appears to be around 4 1/2 weeks old.
The did bloodwork, and a fecal.. He was negative for FeLV and FIV. But he does have worms.. Tapeworms & roundworms. So he was given some worm medicine.
He's too young to have his first shots, or at least that's what they told us, so we have to wait a couple weeks before he can have them.

The vet techs really loved him.. He was chewing on their fingers like he does mine, but he kept trying to get away from them to get to me. At one point, they put him back on the examining table, and I was standing there next to it.. He climbed my shirt and started giving me head bumpies and purred sooo loud.. They thought it was so cute how much he already loves me when we've only had him a short while.

Anyway, just wanted to let you all know how the vet visit went.. I'm going to make another post with a poll for a name for the little tyke.
