Chandler seems to finally be over the worst of his URI. Thank God. The past week has been horrible. He got so bad Eric and I had to have the discussion. The discussion of what was the best for Chandler, to keep sticking needles in him to give him his fluids, and to keep shoving food and medicine down his throat, even though he was struggling to breath at times, or ……you know…the “unspeakable“. Thank goodness we decided to help him fight this off. There were times though, when I would just dread going into the bathroom to check on him, in fear that I would find him dead. We have been keeping him in the master bath, which we consider it to be his hotel las vegas for kitties, since he has been sick. It is better for him to be in a quiet room so he can rest. He seems to be doing better, his breathing sounds better, he is now eating, and running around. The only thing he isn’t doing is drinking water, so I still have to stick him with a needle twice a day so he can get those needed fluids. I don’t think the needle bothers him as much as the cold fluid. I hope I can post in a couple of weeks about how fat he is getting, Lord knows he needs to gain weight. He is literally bones and skin.

Poor kitty. He is SICK. Running a high fever now, coughing, sneezing, not eating. Currently I am having to syringe water and Nutrical down his little throat. Not fun. But, you can see after 30 minutes of me doing it that he feels better. I am taking him into work with me tomorrow so he can get IV fluids and antibiotics. He is also getting B12 injections, but only once a week. He just has a bad upper respiratory infection, which doesn’t sound like much, but it can easily kill a kitten of his size. Hopefully after he gets some IV fluids and some antibiotics pumped into his skinny body he will feel better. He most certainly doesn’t need any diet pills!*Crossing fingers*

Meet Chandler Bing. I rescued him on Tuesday. He was about 3 minutes away from being euthanized due to over crowding at our local animal control facility. Unfortunately it is something that is hard to deal with, but it has to been done due to over crowding of “unwanted” or “unplanned” pets. I wish people would just spay and neuter their pets. I just couldn’t let it happen to him. There he was, in a small cage with about 5 other kittens, just looking straight at me. SO….I took him out and adopted him on the spot, about 3 minutes before he was no longer to be. So, happy birthday to me! And what a great deal for him. He does have a kitty cold, from being in the shelter with so many others that were sick, but he tested negative for feline aids and leukemia, and negative for worms and ear mites. He is a bit underweight, but I am working on that. =) He is currently getting B12 injections to help him beat off this cold. He is the most GENTLE and LOVING kitten I have ever met. We adore him.
