I weighed the bitties tonight. The 'meezer weighs 2 lbs 1.5 oz. The
itty bitty weighs 13.75 oz!! I have been served 12 oz of meat before
at a restaurant and almost ate all of it. Itty bittie is almost all
skin and bones. I can feel backbone, rib bones, pelvis. He's eating
and he was playing with the 'meezer's tail earlier so I think he's
going to survive. I hope we can get a chance to get them to the vet
tomorrow. I called today to make an appointment for Saturday but they
are booked solid. They said if I could bring them tomorrow or Monday
they'd see us. We don't want to wait until Monday. I hadn't
mentioned it earlier, but I've accepted a new position that is a
promotion and I've been trying to learn the ropes so I've been working
really long hours and coming home exhausted. But being in a new job
makes it difficult to take time away to get kittens vetted. Rusty
works much further away from home and vet than I do so it would be
better if I could do it. Hopefully we'll work it out and be able to
get them there tomorrow. If not, we'll find a vet that can take us on
Saturday. One way or another, we'll get them seen by Saturday and on
their way to good health. The 'meezer gave itty bittie a thorough
bath tonight and took a bath herself. I told Rusty she was going to
make sure they were both clean for their doctor visit. I think
they're both ready to get out of the crate. It will be quite a while
yet before they can leave the crate.

Try to stay positive. Once you get them eating, they usually improve very
quickly. And how wonderful that the li'l meezie is stepping up and helping
out!
