So precious! And you do have a special skill, which you have developed through a lot of years of hard work. I am keeping little Tom in my prayers.

How precious! We are hoping and praying Tom Thumb will get big, strong and healthy (under your care I can't imagine it not happening). WTG you angel.

Yes, he's still doing well. When I go to feed him, he's not in the same place I left him in his box, so he's able to move around a little. Both snugglekitties are in the wash so I've given him a teddy with the little beating heart underneath. I found him sleeping with his head on the heart this morning. He must like the rhythmic beating feel.

His muzzle is a little red because of the wiping I have to do to make sure there's no formula left around his mouth (it sets like concrete!). And because I'm feeding him so often, it's getting wiped a lot, even if it is with a soft cotton ball. I'll get a pic of him before a feed, you'll see the difference.

Thank you everyone for your continued sending of vibes and prayers - I really do think it's making a difference to little Tom.

Well, Tom is still doing well. He is a little stronger and feeds well too. I'm concerned that he's not gaining weight but it may be that he's putting all his energy into staying alive, rather than putting on weight. He had a visitor yesterday - another member here, Byclops, visited and had a long cuddle with him. He's still trying to purr and it's sounding a little bit more like a purr - puttputt...putt...puttputt...


Here are today's pics.

They are special, but you are extra special for being their guardian angel.

I just saw this thread for the first time and he has made such an improvement in a few short days. Sending lots of good vibes to you both

I am so sorry to have to write this, Tomb Thumb didn't make it.


He started looking very pale this afternoon and seemed unhappy and uncomfortable. He had an infection in his tail so it's possible that his tiny body just couldn't fight it off. Today was also the first day I started him on full-strength formula because he wasn't gaining any weight - it could've been that. I'm not really sure, I really did all I could for him. He had become stronger and more active over the past few days and was drinking his formula so well.

I'm so sorry to everyone who has sent so many vibes and prayers his way.


R.I.P. little Tom.

Oh tania.....I am so sorry....
...

I really thought he was going to make it.......

Do not feel bad...You were amazing, and did all you could....if only more people were like you....You are such a saint....And even though Tom passed away I know it must have been a great comfort to him to be loved so dearly in his short life


Ohh and sweet Tom.....God bless you....I know that you are strong, healthy and happy over the bridge...May you rest in peace....
