Rusty's Eyes

The infection is muuuuch better, and Rusty appears to be able to see, but looking at his eyes on this picture I just took...I don't know. It's the first time today that he actually has his eyes open, up until last night he kept squeezing them shut because they hurt:

Itty Bitty Kitty Committy

I took some cute pics of the 5 survivors here, too cute to not share!!

Eye Infection Update

I have an update on Rusty. He is definitely not blind, at least he reacts to light, that's something. However, his infection came back! It's the toughest and longest infection I have ever treated unsuccessfully!

I just emailed my Vet this picture, hopefully she can hook me up with some other medications that work better than what I got here. He's otherwise a very healthy and sweet kitten, I'd hate to lose him to an infection.

I already lost 3 of the litter of 6, that's enough! One passed away this morning, lil Cheetah. All 3 died of something different too..strange world that is.



Here are 2 of the 3 survivors from the litter of 6 and 4 healthy eyes to compare it with:



Lil Calico on her rice buddy lol:



He is ALWAYS hungry!


And here is what the cage looks like..it's a blessing this cage! It was a donation..it's twice as wide as you can see and has 3 stories which I can split into 6 small or 3 large compartments.

I have to keep the lil male separated from the others, because they all suckle on him..they always pick on the smallest lol. But I hated to leave him all alone, so I put the one kitten in with him that didn't show interest in suckling:

Blind Kitten?

It looks like that lil Rusty might be blind after all. He acts like as if he can see, but from looking into his eyes....:

but he acts as all the other kittens..no difference..

Here's a very photogenic Kitten from the other litter 6 (which are now 4, the 2 runts didn't make it...), lil Tiny Tim:

So, you want to raise baby kittens, huh?

Kicker, the Dumpster Puppy is 5 months, 1 week old now

and back in his old pen he grew up in:

Kicker, the Dumpster Puppy is back!!!

Yes, he is back! The people that had adopted him, had a family emergency and have to move back to Alaska. Of course I took him back when they asked me. They took very good care of him.

Kicker is 5 1/2 months old now. Looks like he is mostly Anatolian Shepherd and maybe hound mixed with it. He's tall and skinny! I will have him neutered ASAP.

My other 2 boys, Olliver and Butters, welcomed him back into the pack as if he never left. Even our old Sandy's tail went a million miles an hour!

Eye Infection is improving after 3 days

Here's an update in pictures. I named him Rusty for obvious color reasons :



and he's having quite an appetite lol:
