We just got home. The kitten is fine. It's a boy!!!! He does have a little infection, but nothing serious. He hasn't coughed since last night,and the vet said not to worry. He gave him an antibiotic shot, and put him on more oral antibiotics. After work tomorrow, I have to take him for another shot. The vet says he looks real good. I think I freak myself out at every little symptom I see LOL!!! My track record has been piss poor to say the least. I left 2 bottles of formula with him, I didn't want him going without it all day. They never gave him a single drop.  :mad: All they had to do was add warm water to the bottle, and feed him. It takes maybe 5 minutes. I questioned them about it,and the gal says" yeah I think somebody gave him a bottle."  :rolleyes: I didn't like that. He shouldn't have been made to go without a bottle all day.  :mad:

Glad to hear the kitten is going to be alright.  I too would think someone could have taken the time to feed the little guy.  I'll bet he did some big time eating when you got him home.

He was starved to death. He took a whole bottle. I worry about him going for long periods of time without fluids. It wouldn't take much for a kitten that little to get dehydrated. They can die if they get dehydrated. I suppose I worry too much, but the little stinker has been through soooo much, I want him to be healthy at all costs.  :yes:

I've decided to name him Dexter. Not after my screen name, but after the real deal.The real Dexter.  :smitten: He's doing really good today. I changed his appointment for his shot for tomorrow. So, tomorrow after work I'm taking him in. I hope to find out, if the staples are still coming out on Saturday. It's a good thing the vet's office is only 10 minutes from home. I've been catching the kitten, and myself coming, and going LOL!! He is such a little doll. When he loses sight of me he bawls.If I go in to the bathroom ,and shut the door, he stands outside the door, and cries his little heart out.  :smitten:

Awww thats sweet..... :smile: :smitten:
He's smart too. I had decided to wait to liter box train him, because of what he's been through. Well, he trained himself. He goes right in to the bathroom, and goes in the box. I've never even shown him where it is. I think I may have a kitten prodigy!!!!  :biggrin: He has also started to groom himself too. That's amazing because most of the time ,the Mommy cat teaches them that. He has learned it on his own. I'm a proud Mama, he is quite a little guy.  :smitten:

LOL! Sorry, but this gave me a mental picture of a woman licking a cat. <cough cough> hairball!

I'm SO happy to hear that Lil' Dex is doing so well. :thumbsup:

I just got home from taking Dexter for his shot. It went fine. He now weighs 13 oz. He has gained an ounce since Tuesday. The vet says it's time to start him on solid food. I suppose I'll feed him kitten chow. I'm not taking the ba ba away just yet though. If he needs it as a crutch to get him through all of this, then he will have it. I hope to get some pictures of him this weekend, if I can get Hubby motivated to help me with it. :yes:

Glad he's doing so good.  Sounds like you're gonna kind of miss giving him the bottle.

Maybe a little.  :wink: I admit it is pretty fun when they're on the bottle. I never had a real baby to do that with ,so the kittens get spoiled on the bottle.  :biggrin:
