Emotional breakdown? Must be Tuesday.
Rolling into a new calendar doesn't clear out the difficult cases from last year.
I really don't know if Falcor might be one of those cases of stomatitis that is so severe no treatment can give quality of life. He's already had all his teeth pulled and healed over and the inflammation is back soooo severe.
At least the emotional wreckage distracts from the financial?
Guess I'm not quite fully numb yet, kinda thought I was. To people? Yeah, compassion fatigue for people, that happened and settled in ages ago.
The cats still get to me, though.
As always we can use donations to alleviate some of the pressure. Honestly that's our top need. I'll work out my emotional issues in therapy.

I can barely edit and upload this as Leonard is still all over me. He gets a bite of food, then comes over to slam against the phone and rub all over.
He's definitely still got some of the "good stuff" in his system after getting all his teeth removed yesterday. Also his lunch was spiked with gabapentin, and his dinner with prednisolone.
He's also used to having lots of cats and humans to keep him company at the @pawsitivecaferoc . He currently has his own room, and I am but one human.

Bean is doing well so far with his FIP treatment. Thank you to those who have donated recently to help our sick kittens.

Falcor update.
(My phone camera lens is damaged, hence the black smudge.)

Nothing especially clever to say, just late night worries. Hard to relax for even one night.

Mostly uploading this in case I can send the link to our vet, in case they'd like to avoid bringing him in with possible ringworm.
#fosterkittensofinstagram
Latte the kitten was on a 10 day quarantine because of a wound, now we have discovered what we suspect to be ringworm on day 10, so the quarantine continues and we will be calling his vet in the morning.
Never dealt with ringworm before, and while it may seem less onerous than many of our recent situations, it's an unknown to us, and we know there are various treatments that may be very messy and time consuming, and he can't reunite with his family and help us socialize them.
We'd just like to get through one Sunday...

Tori's broken leg amputation was a great success. She's definitely loopy but I'm hoping she will be feeling better and regain appetite, she hadn't eaten anything except a few licks of churu nourish - cats need calories in consistently or they risk liver and kidney damage, so she had to put up with me smooshing some on her face to lick off when she stopped licking it freely. Still, not enough to sustain and I'm hoping she'll eat tonight. If not I'll start mitrazipine appetite stimulant tomorrow.
Of course we still need anything you can spare. We are hoping adoptions pick up again which will help us recoup some costs but, our adoption fees are truly a drop in the bucket.

Tori had a consultation at Orchard Park after spending the night there, and it was determined amputation is her best option; no one outside of Cornell could even dare attempt setting the leg with pins. We don't have Cornell money, or time, and the consultant said there's no guarantee even they could salvage this leg. So we called Pittsford and they scheduled her for Wednesday for amputation.
It turned out she didn't need oxygen support so the extra trip out to the Buffalo area was almost unnecessary but, we were going with the advice of the emergency vet here and making decisions best we could.
She's been on painkillers and will be maintained with gabapentin and onsior until her appointment Wednesday. The concerns about chest trauma have been cleared, the Orchard Park vet had no concerns about her going under anesthesia, and all of her blood work, x rays, etc., will be shared between the vet offices. And of course I will be checking on her frequently.
We have had a few donation boosts but please keep supporting us. We weren't in a great place before this...

I can't even... I just wanted to eat some snacks and watch some TV. Instead I was wheeling around kennels again into impossible spaces to house this guy.

True sign of millennial burnout is self-expression via memes and I think this counts...
I didn't get a case of Monster with my last grocery pickup order, but ended up just grabbing a few cold ones at checkout when I was buying rotisserie chicken for trapping. 🙃
Short video of the tabby kittens I quickly edited. They are so big but development wise, still very much babies. Still need stimulation for elimination, for one thing.
I may offer them some canned food today as their teeth have cut through. Toothless' kittens started eating her food about a week and half ago so I'm thinking these guys aren't too far behind that.
As always we can use financial help. They have been absolutely destroying formula and once they are on canned food it's not gonna get cheaper.
