34. So glad you posted about the blockage

I didn't know about that when my little guy had it but luckily my cousin did and I got him to the all-night emergency vet in time. He's on the C/D prescription food now for life.

His name is Chance. He was found in the woods with his dead mother, one dead sibling, and one other sibling still clinging to life. The vet estimated he was about 2 weeks old.

He was dehydrated, malnourished, anemic, suffering from hypothermia, and infested with worms, fleas, and I don't know what all. She worked at an animal hospital and took him to work with her every day for about three weeks.

His sister was stronger and was up and about and eating baby food almost immediately but he couldn't get the hang of eating. The vet said he really wasn't sure this little guy had a much of a chance. I started fostering him 'cause my cousin needed sleep and his bottle feedings were getting to her.

That was just over 12 years ago and I wish I knew how to post pictures here 'cause I think he's a very handsome boy. He loves being on my shoulders and sometimes leaps across the room 'cause he suddenly, without warning, simply has to be on Mom's shoulders. He seems pretty sure that everyone on earth was put here to be his friend.
