This Little Feral Nearly Died

D.J., originally uploaded by m's stuff.

This little feral kitten became deathly ill at 3 weeks. I called the vet(woke her out of bed!) at 6:00 a.m. The doctor told me to bring him right in. He was put into an oxygen tank and forced fed, and given fluids under the skin. I went to visit him and asked if I could stay overnight to keep force feeding him. (Since vet offices don't have night time staff) They have a couch in the reception room where I slept.

I got up every 2 hours to feed him. After 2 days of being limp and lifeless, he finally pulled through. He is fine, playful and happy. We kept him and named him D.J.
