Poor little guy. I knew he sounded like a fighter.

I would think that the tongue thing is temporary due to the goo - is it raw and swollen at all? Is it possible that he has temporary nerve damage?
I'm hoping that his tongue be it muscle or nerves affected will regenerate fast. He is very young, so that's certainly in his favor. Sweetest disposition already purring away. he did poop tonight much to my relief, and boy was that as rotten as what was under his tongue. He ended up needing a partial bth when he managed to get poop all across his face, and all over his feet. Yuck. I sure wish I could have done a good soaping down, but he's not strong enough to do a complete bathing yet. Too stressful. His appetite is fantastic now that he's got me syringe feeding him all day long!
