Oh my goodness Tania! Thank you so much for the videos of sweet little Oscar. What an absolute doll he his.
I'm so glad to hear that he's improving; what a long way he's come in a short time.
He's our little fighter!

Wow. There is something about seeing them on video that really grabs your heart, doesn't it?


He's got the heart of a lion, that one...you can tell!

It's wonderful to hear of his continuing improvement. Way to go little guy! One day you'll be posting pictures of him up and playing I'm sure.

It sounds very very promising! I had a kitten once who was injured by getting her shoulders shut in a heavy door. Initially she could not move her arms, and I thought she would have to be euthanized. Through lots of loving care, she recovered fully. It is amazing what these little ones can overcome sometimes.

Prayers that Oscar continues to thrive and heal under Naya's care. It is sad that she won't be able to keep him, since I am certain she is totally in love already. What a wonderful person she is to give so much to little Oscar! Thanks for keeping us updated, Tania!

A quick update... poor lil Oscar's abscess on his shoulder burst last night (can we say EW) and this morning its twice as big, so we're off to the vets again.. I think its time to have it opened and cleaned out. The antibiotics just aren't working enough

Oh my poor Oscar
I had to leave him at the vets for surgery to clean out his shoulder. Because of his neurological problems the vet is hesitant to use a general anaesthetic so the poor baby is going to have to have it done under a local!


I have to ring in about 90mins to see if he's ready to come home...

All good wishes gratefully received!

Naya has has really bad headaches/migraines for the past few days, so I'll update for her.

Oscar had been doing well up until yesterday when he rapidly went down-hill. Before yesterday, he had been crawling around on the floor and going up to the food and water bowls to eat and drink. Yesterday, he became very lethargic, just laying there with his tongue sticking out and drooling all down his chest and front legs. Naya rushed him to the vet but the vet couldn't find what was wrong. He thought it may be that the toxins from the shoulder wound had entered his bloodstream. Oscar is now back on subcutaneous fluids and being tube-fed formula every two hours, as he is too weak to eat or drink.


On a more positive note, his shoulder is healing well, so that's good.

Please keep up those good vibes for Oscar and Naya.

Oh, poor Oscar and Naya. Keep fighting, little man! You have overcome so much already! Please don't give up, little one. Prayers for Oscar and Naya at this difficult time!
