    he is basically the same...he is so scarey puny..
    I updated him in my sq C thread...
    he did move his upper arms...YAY & relief.
    I am going to give him my all, but I have seen sqs in his condition so many times...and it usually isn't good.
    But I am willing if he is...so weak and floppy..
    but his eyes are bright and that gives me hope...
    thank you Nancy for asking!

    I'm glad to hear he had some movement in his arms, Jackie. He is a fighter. Thank you for doing everything you can for him.

    I found him. There are several feral cats in the woods behind me. My cats are all indoors animals.

    thank you above all keith for keeping your pets indoors...
    allowing wildlife to exist without un natural interference.

    and for saving this little guys life..
    i have an awesome update...
    we are not outta the woods...however the steroids are working their magic..our boy has lifted his tail over his head on his own powers!
    amen.
    all limbs are working...he has not overcome his weakness, but we have ability and agility now!
    i am stoked...this guy was in grave condition, really..you have no idea.
    he is still lethargic appearing..but he is gaining strength...i can see it!

    all speculation , but...
    i think his momma went missing, he is too thin and way too young to be outta that nest alone....
    thinking he got hungry to the point of disobeying nest rules and went out looking for food..
    he must have fallen..my vet was probably right all along with him being a nuero case...not cat attack. hence no wounds and steroids bring back his body movements.
    hence his emaciated state also.
    so now we slowly advance his formula intake...
    i will say he got very excited at the smell of a grape, he loved the taste on his tongue.
    he was too weak to eat it, but the desire was there..
    i think ths guy will be a slow rehab, but my dream of him being in the trees again, may fruit!
    he's my project pup....have wrapped myself up in his recovery.

    i haven't decided on a name... and sadly keith is not going to happen...
    it's my sons fathers name.
    something will come to us...maybe rico....had a val already...
    tsb has a miller right now...and don't do trendy names like travis or brandon...
    it's just so wonderful to see him doing so so so much better this am.

    he purrs...he purrs...i love a purring sq...
    sweet vibrations...heaven sent.
    he'll purr when i humm on his head..he kissed my face...
    i am sq crazy for him..
    he is now turning his head to look at me...
    stoked is saying it mildly...
    very excited in tampa

    i had a conversation yesterday with a wildlife loving friend about sqs that come in in poor condition..
    and how my vet will say that if there is no turn around within that first 24-48 hours there probably won't be...
    and to not get my hopes up after that...
    and how so many times she has been right...
    even when i did not believe her..
    even when i saw a wee little bit of progress and got excited..
    so many times within the two weeks that followed,
    no matter how hard i tried, the sq failed and i feel like i tortured them needlessly for a miserable extended time...
    i hate myself for many days after, i painfully detest the cemetary.
    not sure if vets all have this ability from schooling, to see the probability of decline..
    as so many times my vet does no tests and predicts the outcome...
    or maybe it is a gift...
    but i have had many many vets that were just not like dr.d...
    and for once i am not taking money/bill...
    but gut instinct, care, intrest, heart appeal...
    my vet is not even a exotics, she is just a neighborhood domestics vet..
    she does not have 6 intials behind her name, nor a star on hollywood blvd...
    but she has shared so much with our sqs...
    she is my learning tool...
    i cannot wait to give her the update.
    and above all, i am happy our boy showed us the welcome change in his statis within that critical time frame that i have learned to be real.

    i know..i am rambling...
    but everyday is better than the last.
    just had to share...
    it's wonderful to see wiggling toes....
    they go with baby steps.

    i gotta tell ya...everything i am, say and do that is not my opinion...has come from tsb or the sqs themselves...
    for the first 6 years of rehabbing, i was the only person i knew with a sq...
    i was solo..everything i knew was first hand...
    it was hard to learn alone, a challange too hard to do alone.
    i had vets as florida is legal state...however the vets i had were not forth right with knowledge sharing..
    i even had a tech tell me i knew too much about anti biotics and i asked too many questions...
    and they knew i rehabbed and they gave me baby sqs too...
    point being...stick with tsb..you will learn.

    once i found tsb, i excelled...tsb has been my tool and teacher every day i log in...i suck in every bit of knowledge i can...
    it does require research, but wow, i have been able to help so many more sqs succeed.
    there will never be a better place for info and comraderie..
    tinfoil tsb rocks...
    as niny always says,,,
    it takes a village to raise a sq!
    and as jit says...one sq at a time!

    OMG... I'm balling up a storm over here, my son is like what's wrong. I can't even verbalize the emotions that flood me when I read threads like this.
    All I know how to do is to say THANK YOU to everyone of you for saving these precious creatures.
    Ms. Jackie you amaze me... You really do...
