Charlie started getting dehydrated yesterday evening. I gave him fluids and it didn’t seem to matter much. I waited for the bubble to vanish and gave him more, but he was still dehydrated. His third eyelid is creeping over on his good eye indicating either dehydration or fever or both. He has a fever. He stopped eating last night and instead of playing with the other kittens, he went and hid in the carrier (another indication he has the feel-bads). He seems to be having problems swallowing, his breath is hitchy, his good eye dull. He is gulping and gurgling again.

I separated him from the rest of the group and put him back in the cat room. I set up the vaporizer and small heater and heating pad for him. I gave him some babyfood which I was grateful he tried to eat.

I am going to take him back to the vet first thing in the morning. His erratic breathing worries me, his lack of energy concerns me. I’ve been up and down with him all night and now it is 4:00 a.m. and I am beat. I have done all I can do, if he is slipping from us, then perhaps God wants to tuck him in with the angels. I will know more after the vet visit and will log in afterwards.
