I meant to say"sedate", which means that he wouldn't be put under.
Barney's exam started a few minutes ago (if the vet is running on time!) and I hope that the vet will do whatever she has to in order to get the best look possible in his ear. I did tell Angela about your experience with polyps and I know she will mention it to the vet. I'm so anxious to hear what she says.

What would your hubby say if you "fostered" Barney until Angela comes back to the area and she is able to keep him with her?? I mean, it's obvious she adores him... so she could get done what she needs to get done while you foster him. Would you hubby begrudge a poor little kitty lodging until then?
I wish he would let me but the only way I can even imagine it would be a for a few days until a real foster could be found. I won't let Barney be put outside so don't worry, something will be done one way or the other. We just put an ad in our local paper that gets put in the mailbox of every single resident on the island (around 2,500 people). The ad and photo normally costs 50.00 plus tax but the lady who runs the paper offered to do it for 5.00!! I think the paper will be in the boxes tomorrow or Friday at the latest.

The ad reads as follows with this picture:

"This is Barney. He is single and available. He lives on Quadra but is homeless. Do you have a space in your heart and home for this wonderful little fellow? He is looking for his furrever home or even a temporary foster home. Please help bring Barney out of the cold."

I hope all goes well at the vet. He MUST have gained a BIT of weight...how much?
We think he has gained some weight but we're not sure how much. He was 4.15 pounds a few weeks ago so it will be exciting to see some improvement. You can still feel his spine completely, every detail of it but he does feel a bit heavier.
