Purrs Please

One of my little semi-ferals is seeing TED today. She went off her
regular food a day or so ago, but was eating beef baby food. Today
she wouldn't eat even that.

Bush Baby is a little over a year old, and she's no bigger than a 6
month old kitten. This came on really fast, and I'm hoping it's
nothing more than just a little sick, but I dread what it could be.
She doesn't weigh 2 pounds, but she's just a teeniny cat. She's
spayed (part of the TNR program out here), and she's so sweet. I
called the clinic that spayed her, and she was given her shots (that
was back in February or March), so I'm hoping that she can be saved,
or at the very least not allowed to suffer any more than she already
has.

She didn't like hoomins last year, when she was only 3 or 4 months
old, but she's come to trust me and DH, and anyone we are talking to.
I can't believe I managed to get so attached to a cat that doesn't
seem to care for people, and *hates* the inside.

I should have gotten her picture before, I have a horrible feeling but
then I always do before a TED visit, even check ups for the inside
cats.

Lots and lots of purrs for this to be nothing serious.

Purrs on the way, it's easy to get attached to _any_ cat.

Lots of purrs for Bush Baby. Hopefully it will be something easy to treat,
maybe a huge worm burden, or something bacterial that an antibiotic
injection will take care of. These semi-ferals - like KFC - are often
tiny because of their bad start in life, good nutrition and attention to
parasites early in life doesn't come their way and it stunts them, IMO.
And when you say" I can't believe I managed to get so attached to a cat that
doesn't seem to care for people, and *hates* the inside" I smile and hear
echoes of myself.
Please keep us updated.

Well, the vet called... Her leukemia test came back negative (YAY!).
When they were doing an exam on her, the vet thought she might have a
cold, til I told her that was just beef baby food we'd tried to rub on
her mouth to get her to eat.

Then the vet opened her mouth... Yeegads, how can such a teeniny
kitty (2.8 pounds) have such horrendous breath? TED said she is
smaller than a 'healthy' 6 month old kitten, but otherwise she is
pretty dang healthy... So... It's like this... A tooth growing in
crooked, never kicked out the baby tooth, created ONE abscess. A huge
mass of foxtail stickers, in the roof of her mouth (hard palate?)
created another abscess.

So, she had a couple of teeth pulled, the foxtail mass removed (vet
said it was in excess of 10). I guess while we were out of town, Bush
Baby wasn't letting my Mother-in-law give her skritches and remove the
foxtails in her fur. I just did it as I was petting her. Poor little
baby... I never would have thought to look into her mouth.

Guess my dream the other night was prophetic (I was dreaming that
someone was trying to hurt the strays and ferals, and I kept getting
them and bringing them back to my house to protect them - never ending
job, that). So, I can go and get her in a couple of hours, and dose
her baby food for a while (however long the doc says).

Smokie Darling (Annie) - not sure what it cost, but I don't care. My
little Bush Baby is alright, and that is all that matters to me.
