He will have been here three weeks tomorrow and this morning when I went upstairs, I found him missing in his room. I located him across the hall in Jordan’s room- drinking from her water fountain (although he has two of his own). She was hiding under the bed- but they weren’t fighting.

I went back to his room and poured out his breakfast and I looked over, and here he comes walking on his own steam- wobbly as all get-out- but walking all the same.

He goes to the vet Monday for another recheck so we will see what the vet says about him. I think he is gaining weight, though it is hard to tell because if he is, the weight gain is so slight.

The smallest bottle baby- Paris is fading. I have been up with her all night, but she is losing energy fast. I gave her fluids and did everything I know to get her to respond. Her rectum overnight turned bright cherry red and became swollen. although she is pooping normally. I don’t believe she is being suckled- they don’t seem to be doing that to each other,. So, I am puzzled and have a call into the vet waiting to hear if they can squeeze us in.

The vet has put Paris on amoxy and I am to dab at her rectum with preparation H pads several times a day. Seems to think it is urine scald- although the kittens appear to be using the tiny litter pan in their box. No fever, but is dehydrated 3 cc of sub-cu fluid every three hours for today.
