Bittie Weight
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.

It seems like the meezer has bonded to itty bitty as a litter
mate....if you keep them to gether they will probably groom and nest like sibs all their lives. Are you naming them? Are you keeping them? :} --Fil I weighed the bitties tonight. The 'meezer weighs 2 lbs 1.5 oz. The itty bitty weighs 13.75 oz!! |

Julie 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! Theresa, Stinky and Dante |

She's so small a friend had a go at us once for not getting Sarsi spayed and when we said "HUH? We did"he explained that given the size difference he'd assumed they were mother and daughter- not that Sarsi is that big, she tops the scale at 2 oz short of 8 lbs She's perfectly healthy through- just petite Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
