Devastating News About Oliver the Kitten

Image
I would be lying if I said I am doing well. On September 6th I had to take Oliver back to the vet again He was doing so well and was thinking he might not even have  Feline Infectious Peritonitis  (FIP.)  His blood work didn't look very bad when I took him on August 29th. His WBC was low and his proteins were elevated, but for a FIP kitty, he looked very well.  My vet, Dr. Burns, couldn't see him, but they were able to fit me into another vet's schedule. Oliver hasn't lost any weight. He actually gained a pound. He is now 6.9 pounds. I thought maybe he was having fluid retaining in his belly because he seemed a little hard like when Jakie had cancer and it filled up in his belly. Dr. Miller listened to his breathing. He said there is fluid sounds on his lungs, but his stomach and intestines sound and feel fine. He decided we should do an x-ray.  I was totally fine with that.  Oliver did an amazing job.  Fifteen minutes later and Dr. Miller came back into the room

Orphan Five Week Old Kitten

                                  As many of you know, I lost my best friend Jakie Punkin to cancer in May of 2018 to cancer.   Ever since then I have been struggling emotionally and physically. I just can't get out of the depression. It has been pretty bad.  Two weeks ago, I think my Grandpa from Heaven, sent me this beautiful 4-week old kitten. It was crazy how we ended up getting her.   Three weeks ago, my friend's roommate's mother found a batch of kittens behind her shed.  A couple days later she noticed the kittens disappearing.  The mother cat never came back to get this kitten so the roommate's mother brought her inside and cleaned her up. She was plastered with fleas. The roommate's mother couldn't keep it because of her dog.  My friend picked up the kitten and was going to take care of it until we could find her a foster home. In the meantime, she was bottle feeding her every 2-3 hours. My friend broke down crying because she was so exhausted.
