Gender switch!  I had to laugh because when the kitten first arrived here, I thought it was a boy. But nine times out of ten, I am proven wrong, so I said it must be a girl. Nope, male parts coming in- it is a boy.

His temp is 89.1. I did take him back to the vet as the bloat was way out of control. They believe he is wormy but he is way to young to put chemicals on him so I was told to be more “aggressive” when I stimulate him. I don’t know how much more aggressive I can be.

He did poop for them BUT he had to travel with us this morning when I took Mike to the hospital for his procedure. I told the vet, the only way this kitten poops is after a car ride of at least 20 minutes!  They told me to keep him warm- I am- the bedroom is right at 90 degrees and he has three heaters inside his box.

Now he has a 60/40 chance of surviving.

Mike had his ablation. T hey put a liter of fluid into his leg to hydrate it and cauterized his non-working blood vessels closed (said this is to promote the other working vessels to work harder). No anesthetic beyond one diazapan so he is hurting right now and will soon be asleep- I hope. He’s wrapped from foot to thigh in ace bandages even though I told them this is not a good idea (But what do I know?) I’ve only been taking care of him for 8 years. As soon as his leg starts to swell, the ace is going to cut him wide open and here we go again. So I am hoping I am wrong as he has gone through enough pain and torture with this leg that he deserves a break.
