A 4th of July surprise

[Dexter Morgan]

I hate to hear that.  Hope he makes it. 

Well, he survived  night. We're going to the vets in about an hour. He has more hatched out. I might have to have the poor little thing euthanized. I've never seen anything like it.

Sure hope the vet can do something for him rather than having to have him put to sleep.  Poor little guy what a heck of a way to be welcomed into the world.

The trip to the vet was a success  The vet sprayed some medicine in his ear, and they all came to the surface. We picked out 10 more and several more crawled out. He does have a small hole under his ear, but it's not life threatening at this point. He may not be able to hear out of it, but he's alive.    I'm guardedly optimistic, but only time will tell. I have ointment to put in it once a day. He seems like a fighter, so maybe he'll pull through this.  I'm trying not to get my hopes up, because he is so little, and this has been a serious obstacle.

Oh sht, I think I might have hit the report to moderater thing on your last post crap!!! I'm typing with one hand and holding the kitten in the other. I hope they ignore that or realize it was a mistake, Jesum Crow!!! Maybe I didn't I hope I didn't. I don't know how it works, when you hit that moderator thing. Those are all great names. We should set up a vote to pick his name. I never realized how hard it is to type with one hand.

Uh oh! Looks like my troublemaking days might be over.

Don't worry about it, I don't use it either, but I'm sure it's fine.

Sadly, this afternoon the little orange manx kitten died. I really didn't think he'd make it. It was a pretty severe obstacle. At least, I know I did the best, I could for him. I find comfort in that. He was a brave little fighter but unfortunately, his little body couldn't take it. I have one left, and he's been checked by the vet,and appears to be free of infestation. It would be nice, if at least one of her kittens would live. She's a first time and hopefully last time Mama. As soon as the other one is weened, Mama's going to be spayed.

Sorry to hear the kitten didn't make it.

Thanks  I really had serious doubts, but I did my best to help the poor little thing. I've never seen anything like that. I've still got the heebie geebies from it. I keep feeling like they're crawling on me or something. Well, I hope the other one makes it. We'll just have to wait and see.

It has to Dex, it's survived this long and I'm hoping the odds are on yours and the lil' guys side.

The Mommy is taking real good care of it. I think it will be alright. They're both inside in the c/a, and I keeping them inside for a while. It's suposed to be in the 90's today. Thank God for c/a.
