Goodbye Gems

Events of 16th March 2015

Tanz and Jasper went back to the shelter today. Goodbye Gem's may you live long and happy lives.

Their actual shelter names were Allan and Trevor

Farewell Allan

Goodbye Trevor

Got word not long after that Tanz already has a new home. Woot go Tanz.

The Z's are driving me insane with their eating habits. Either not going anywhere or dropping weight. I don't know why everything has to be so difficult.

Zazu

Zeke

Little Ziggy also a bit skinnier than the rest

Zimmer getting darker by the day

Zoey making it known she's more trouble than all the boys put together

I Brought home Peewee, Dipstick and Tasha. Whoever took note of their genders got it wrong. Peewee was Pixie (but he's definitely a HE) and Dipstick was Chloe but is also a HE. Tasha is the only SHE.

One of the very few pictures I managed to get of this bunch

Zane is the worst of Zazee's kittens. He keeps dropping weight and has little to no appetite.

Slightly grotty face from a force feed.

Looking so skinny and scraggly poor buddy

Cuddles on the couch trying to encourage him to eat.

Eventually got the OK to take Zane in for a vet consult. He presented no temperature and apparently wasn't considered bad enough to need antibiotics. I have to now force feed him and have some probiotics to promote better bowel bacteria but the vet thinks because he's not processing enough food that's the cause of his bad poop.

He is now camping out alone (in his own pen, not outside).

Zane's new digs

Why am I here by myself? ~ Zane

I also made the hard decision to send Peewee, Dipstick and Tasha back to the shelter as they had some discharge in the eyes and I really didn't want the others getting sick. Zane was stressing me out enough as it was.

Monday vet check the vet found both Zane and Ziggy quite underweight. Their only saving grace was not having a temperature. Got told to boil chicken for them and to offer them whatever they will eat. Not sure why I didn't think of the chicken sooner.

Oh and Zazee is on heat again rolling around and presenting her bum waiting for something that wont ever happen again. And really you would think she should have learned her lesson by now.
