Prayers DESPERATELY needed for Jenluck's Sunkist kitten...

[Freedom]

Jen, thanks for updating all of us. How scary for you to hear and realize what was going on! Thank heavens you were home, and were able to cope with this immediately. This is where all your training and experience came in, helping to stop the attack and getting baby Sunkist to the ER.

Prayers for the white coats to help Sunkist and for all to be VERY well by the morning!

Will the other beverage kitty be staying with you for the night? I think this will be the first night alone from all siblings, so maybe a little extra TLC for that one; and the purrs will help you feel better. Hugs to you, Jen!

[Scooter's Mom]

I am so sorry this happened. I will say prayers for baby Sunkist.

Please know that this was NOT your fault.

Hugs coming your way,
Crystal

Oh no! Poor Sunkist. Prayers that she'll be fine.

Jen, I'm so sorry to hear about Sunkist. Please don't blame yourself. You never know what animals are going to do. I'm so glad that you were right there to take her to the ER. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Just wanted to let everyone know that I won't be able to update until this evening. I will be picking her up at Emergency vet this AM, then she goes to regular vet....THEN I go to work. So I didn't want you to worry that there is no update.

The good news is that the emergency vet did NOT call overnight, which means nothing drastic happened.

Needless to say, even sleeping medication could not help me sleep last night.

What a shame Jen. What a fright for you.
I will be adding my thoughts for you and little Sunkist. Good luck baby girl.

Jen, please do not blame yourself; we all know animals can be unpredictable, even under the best of circumstances. It's just the nature of the beast (no pun intended). You have done such wonders with these babies, it's a miracle they found you!

Lots of prayers going up for the little one and big ((((hugs)))) to you.

Who was the attacker?

[jenluckenbach]

Here is half of an update.

When I saw Sunkist this AM she was doing well. PURRING like a V8 engine!

They said she ate, used the litter box, and was generally doing well over night.

I won't be picking her up until 7:30 tonight (from her regular vet) to get the rest of the diagnosis.

Sounds very good so far!! I sure hope she is still doing well when you go to get her!! Fingers crossed!!

[phesina]

Prayers for Sunkist and Jen both. And blessings that Sunkist was doing so well this morning and that YOU, Jen, were there to recognize the emergency and give Sunkist the aid she needed right away.

Love, hugs, pets, and purrs to you both,
Pat and cats

[jennielynn1970]

Oh my gosh... I didn't see this at all!!

I hope Sunkist is doing ok tonight! You can't blame yourself... You had no clue that one of your guys/fosters would ever do that to the baby.

Which kitty attacked Sunkist??

[catnapper]

Jen, its 8:00, how is Sunkist?????

[jenluckenbach]

OK UPDATE!!

The baby is HOME!

The only damage that might be permanent is a head tilt to her left. It may straighten up, but it may not. But it does not affest that way she walks, so it is something she can easily live with.

The 1 puncture wound is already on the road to healing.

Her pupils are equal and reactive (normal)

She will be on 2 meds for about a week. A steroid and an antibiotic.

THANK GOD!!!

By the way, it was Columbus who bit her. I am so thankful that I was RIGHT THERE when it happened or he would have killed her.

Thank you all too, for your support and prayers.
