Absolutely horribly outrageous. :((((((((( had one of those helplessly angry burst into tear episodes... :(((((( "Sunday night when they came in it broke my heart, as they all came in wagging their tail," said Linda Estrada, director and president of the Animal Welfare League. "And what broke our heart is that this is what people did to them and they still loved us." I hope they all make it to fantastic homes with people who can help to erase the horror of what they've suffered. So sad :( and so relieved that it was discovered in time to save some of them from even more suffering. |

Thanks Blurf and Julie :) he's a little perkier today - actually made it over to the waterbowl for a lap at it - probably just fed up with me syringing it into him to be honest, but it's progress :) Vet is mystified but suspects poisoning :( Waiting for results of blood tests and trying to prevent him going into renal failure. Not sure if they'll keep him in when I take him back there in a couple of hours... I hope not... every time I've had to leave a sick animal friend with them overnight, I've picked up a dead one the next day :( When I look after them through the night, at least they don't die alone in a cage :/ |

They're happy with his hydration levels and will reassess him tomorrow afternoon. Just tried him with some of the REALLY expensive food they suggested :/ but he turned his nose right up so... might have to get crafty and dirty his face with it... then try and stop the other cats from washing it off for him :) |

Abby's off to the vet tmrw (Saturday). Her butt is raw and we think she's been obsessively licking herself again. In the past this has indicated an infection of some sort but we'll see. |

Well as expected she has a Grade 3 Yeast Infection. She has to have her butt/belly washed 3x a week with special shampoo |

She has to have her butt/belly washed 3x a week with special shampoo The things we do for love :) Hope it clears up quickly for her, and for you too :) What's she like being bathed? Does she sprout all her sharp bits at once and impale you with them or just yowl and howl in mournful horror at the indignity you're putting her through? Rasputin seems to be getting a little better - and is a little less reluctant about eating which is a good sign I think... |

Abby's infection is gone. Strongly suspect she was allergic to the Pumpkin we were giving her Please keep Abby & us in your thoughts today. We're headed to Cornell for her annual Cardiac Ultrasound |
