I have to make this quick as they have called me to work today. It’s our 25th Wedding Anniversary today and God is smiling on us, even though Mike is still very ill (so much for a romantic dinner!) LOL and I woke up this morning to find the kittens all have ringworm.
There was a woman here the other day looking at the kittens, she was very unkempt and there was just something about her that was a bit off. Now, all the kittens she had come in contact with; Riddle, Puzzle, Massey, Tandem, Axle and Sammy are all showing signs of ringworm!
Could you imagine if Shell got ringworm? The kittens are upstairs behind closed doors and they cried all night because they couldn’t come out and play. I have a separate pair of jeans, old grubbies up there and I take off my grubbies immediately after seeing to them and get on the bleach step, change my clothes, wash my hands and arms and take my shoes off. Maybe I should just get a HazMat suit?
Sorry, just trying to make this situation a bit bearable at the moment.
On the Shell front, I went in and opened her cage and was looking for some things when she just leaped on the bed! We had a pet fest-don’t worry, this was before I went into the kittens room. But I had to put her back in her cage and see to all the others. She is eating, there is no signs of vomit anywhere in the cage! YAY!
Last night at work, who walks in but my vet! I was able to update him about her condition and all he kept saying is most of this is because her mouth is a mess- and it is, a big one! But you know, I think she might be gaining a bit of weight. I have to get another scale as my last one got broken, but I do believe, she might even be 6 pounds now!
I believe by looking at her photo I snapped this morning- this kitty doesn’t like mornings!
11:30 p.m. Just got back from the hospital (the human kind not the vet kind) Mike is having lime jello for his anniversary dinner. I am to tired to type about it- but he is in ICU with CRF- we had no warning- not one until today.
I am SO taken the plight of this little girl, what a fighter! She really deserves to make it, I hope my humble donation will help.
Thank God she ended up with you!
Bless you all. XXXX
Yey!!! Go Shell! You little thing are such a fighter! You make your mommy proud! We will be here purring and praying for you little one!
Much love from all of us!
Oh, Happy Anniversary mom!
Shell looks pretty much the same way I look in the morning! I’m wishing you loads of luck with all your kitties — it’s just like with kids, if it’s not one thing, it’s another. And, yes, it would probably be easier if you had a hazmat suit.
Anniversary celebration can be postponed to a time when you both are able to celebrate — hope Mike is feeling better soon. Hugs to you both 🙂
way to go Shell! you are doing great. we are purring for you !!!
What a sweet, lovely girl she is! So lucky to have you caring for her.
I have to kitties who get have EGC and get rodent ulcers. Not nearly as sever as your Shell, but recurrent episodes. I give them Transfer Factor in baby food meat every day until they clear up. I like to avoid steroids whenever possible, and my vet agreed. So far, it’s worked. Maybe Transfer Factor would help Shell, even given in conjunction with the steroids. We are wishing you all the best with Shell.
I am so glad that Shell is improving. I hope that she keeps gaining weight. I also hope that the other kitties can get over their ringworm quickly.
Sounds like you really have your hands full. Sorry to hear about your husband. Hope he recovers all right. Glad to hear that Shell is doing a little better. You are so great to help that poor kitty. Take care.
Isn’t it just typical, when it rains it pours. We are purring and praying for Shell, the little ones and you and your husband. We hope you managed to have somewhat of a nice Anniversary even though all this is going on.
Oh, to hear about Mike’s illness with all that is going on with the cats…very scary and please take care of yourself so you can care for everyone in your life, too…
