Hi all. We need your prayers again. I went out with several people today to move a feral colony. This kind of job takes sometimes several weeks. Anyway there was one feral boy that offered NO FIGHT. He hissed some when I picked him up and put him in a cage. Now if you know anything about ferals, there is no picking them up, at least not at first. He was laying on the ground, cold to the touch and didn't offer any fight at all.
He looks to be about three months old maybe four but he is very small. Nothing but bones.He was the only one I got because I rushed him to the doc. He has been wormed and had some tests. Doc thinks really the only thing with him is that he is young, its cold, and he is starving. But that is REALLY BAD. Doc actually was very grim. The kitten did not fight me, did not fight him, he just laid there. His heart beat is strong and after we warmed him he seemed a bit more alert.
I am feeding him every 2 hours. He eats only a few bites at a time and I follow that up with kero because I am afraid he isn't getting enough to sustain proper blood sugar levels. But we fear that we may not have got to him in time. He is just so wobbly. He walks very shaky on his feet and has found a corner to do his business so I know that his organs are working but his stools are like water.
I haven't cleaned him yet because I am concerned that he has had enough shock for one day. He seems content in my lap, but that is because he just doesn't have the strength to get up and move.
You can see how weak he is in the face. I am so concerned about him. Would you please pray for him?
Thank you.
Mari
