Well, everyone is doing well. I will start with the littlest ones whose names will start with "K" when I get a chance tonight to pick some. The four little ones are doing well though not gaining weight as I would like to see. Two were not eating that well Monday night. But they are all eating well now. Seems they like their milk a little warmer than usual. The little grayish one is eating much, much better. I came home from work during my supper break to give them their bottle. Plus I got up just before 2 am to give them another feeding. They enjoyed it a lot which made getting up worth it. This morning I was feeding the grayish one when I saw a little spider running on the blanket. I squeezed it between the blanket and it kept running. No........it was a tick and I hate, hate ticks. So I kept it squeezed between the blanket and obliterated it with a pair of pliers (with kitchen renovations my hammer was not right where I thought it should be). I have checked the babies quickly and at next feed I will use a flashlight and check in their little ears. Little kittens, little tick. Hard to find something so tiny but I have to look. I can tell they are feeling good because now they settle down for a sleep after I feed them instead of being unsettled and crying for a while after a feeding. One day at a time.
Daxia is doing well. She is officially off the bottle if her weight is good again after being off the bottle today which would be the second day in a row. She is going to the vet on Friday for her vaccination and microchipping. Soon I will have to say goodbye if she checks out well at the vet. That is a hard part of my job.
Honey and Harvard gained weight yesterday, their first day without a bottle. If they still gain today they will officially be off the bottle. Houston held his own for weight so got another bottle this morning. I never rush them off the bottle, no need to risk them by being impatient.
