Good morning! Tom update!! This little guy is amazing! He has now hit 9 1/2 pounds, he is eating like a trooper, and the diarrhea has stopped! I truly believe that Tom is a miracle. We still have a long way to go, but to see the progress that he’s made in such a short period of time is nothing short of amazing. 😻 ❤️😻
A Monday Tom update for you all!❤️ Our little guy is certainly a fighter and is trying to get better. We did an ultrasound this morning and it appears that the fluid is no longer in his abdomen! It’s wonderful news! He’s a good boy, and his health is of the upmost importance. We will continue with his treatments and lots of love and care. We tried moving him into a bigger cage today. He spent a couple of hours in there but I honestly think that he’s a little bit happier being in his small cage. We will continue trying a little bit at a time. He can take as long as he needs to get healthy!❤️🐾❤️🐾😻
Good morning! Saturday morning, Tom update. What a special guy he is! He is a fighter. As you can see, he does not want to miss a meal, and seems very relaxed and comfortable here. We are off to an amazing start and thrilled to see the improvement already! We are not out of the woods, but I feel that every day is progress. I look for little things like weight increase. I want him to be bright, alert, and responsive. He is all three. Even his third eyelids are not up as much as they were. On Monday, we will perform another ultrasound to see where the fluid in his abdomen is but I am remaining SO hopeful. I wish that I could thank each and every one of you personally for your texts, your phone calls, your donations. You are all amazing and I am grateful. So is Tom, he just doesn’t know it yet. ❤️
Good morning. Friday morning, Tom, update! Clearly, he is a team favorite. He is receiving the best care possible and seems to be responding beautifully.❤️
