This is a happy post -- Blackedee is healthy after 14 days on (previous post) antibiotics. My boy is bushy tailed and bright eyed again. Many people in the office park have commented on "the sick kitty's" 'new appearance'. Blackedee is a handsome, long-haired black&white boy and is starting to tame a little after much attention /inflicted/ on him in the past 14 days. He survived all my fussing (I stroked him while he was eating!) - bless his four white paws :)
After November and December losses, I'm a lot more positive about my colony's survival. New mission is to de-worm the cherubs - all suggestions and ideas are welcome! I think its going to be quite easy to de-worm Blackedee since he's become a bit of a mama's boy after his 2 week antibiotic-secretly-disguised-in-soft-food treatment. I cannot afford to buy my colony 'soft food' -- only the sick ones get 'special treats' and its not easy separating them for treatment...
** I always look out for 'chicken specials' across Pick n Pay, Checkers, Spar et al and purchase as many as the month's budget allows to be able to 'treat' my colony on weekends. (Squinton (and Heena r.i.p.) /lives/ for chicken treats!! :)
If you're following my blog or have any interest in helping me feed (or medicate) my DustbinCats colony - I welcome food and/or money donations. Please contact me via reneebc@gmail.com
