Did you ever figure out what that gluck was that he had in his mouth?
It is wonderful to hear he is doing so well. He can only get better now that he has you.

The vet thought that part of the gunk under his tongue was his own tissue! When she managed to get his mouth open and look, there was a depression underneath it. The other stuff was probably leaves or something that got in there. Poor little guy no doubt went without any water or food for close to 10 days prior to being saved! It's miraculous that being so tiny, he survived at all. He's still on the weak side, but when he sees me coming boy does he perk right up! Sweet little chow hound LOL! He's so much pinker than that first horrible night. YAY!

I'm so happy he's happy when you come in.That means he's feeling much better.I really am dying to meet him when he's strong.If you need me to do other errands while you care for him let me know.Store stuff...whatever.

Ouch! don't refer to The Feline Hospital as "the white coats"! It sounds so impersonal! He was seen by Dr. Bird! And they are very personable and thorough (hence the costs of an office visit alone)! When I first starting using "them", in 1986, it was just Dr. Kat Ternes working out of her home, she was a traveling vet. She came to the patient's houses! That's why I called her! Now she has this fantastic vet practice with a great reputation for the thoroughness and above and beyond kindness. Dr. Bird was not a vet initially, she was one of the 1st receptionists when Dr. Ternes was finally able to open a real vet office! I remember when she left to go to vet school at Tuft's and came back to reception the following summer- I told her how brave she was to undertake something so HARD! Now she is a good vet and I trust her- she always seems to know what she is talking about! What's this rumour I heard about them having a reception recently? And someone was praising your rescue work, and your name was not unfamiliar there? You've been there what? Three times now? And they know your name?

This is so funny - Dr. Kat and Dr. Bird ..... my vet's name is Dr. Doe!
