Hello and Goodbye

It was an emotional roller coaster this weekend at the Jensen's. We acquired a stray 4 week old male kitten on Saturday. He checked out pretty healthy as far as we could tell. He was negative for Felv and FIV (cat viral infections). He had no signs of upper respiratory (kitty cold) and, although a little scrawny, had a great appetite! He did very well on night #1 with his new family. He loved to snuggle and would cry if you put him down. I think he slept on my chest most of the night. Sadly, Sunday evening he suddenly became very weak and ataxic. It progressed rather quickly and I found myself at the 24 hour emergency veterinary hospital around midnight, hoping he had low blood sugar, a treatable condition. Unfortunately, his glucose was normal and the list of rule-outs for this little guy all carried a very poor prognosis. We said a final goodbye to him this morning.

RIP Baby Boy
