Leo. Leo. Leo...
source of all my worry!
They were baffled.
He seems to have something restricting his airway...
not entirely, just enough to be a nuisance.
He's lost weight.
He coughs, he sneezes.
Dr. Jose drew blood and tested for AIDS and feline leukemia....
the tests were negative.
the tests were negative.
Whew!
He gave him an injection of an antibiotic that is good for upper respiratory symptoms.
If he does not make a rapid recovery,
he will have a "scoping" done to see if he has a polyp or other obstruction.
That is scheduled for Tuesday.
He is still lively and spends a bit of time outside doing the usual kitty activities.
I have to tell you, though...
I am worried.
Time will tell.
I hate waiting.
It is so hard when animals have ailments and can't tell you about it.
It's all a mystery and a guessing game.
They can't even be their own advocates.
They depend upon us for that.
And I don't want to let him down.
So....keep your fingers crossed.
Now, the hitch is this....
we are leaving tomorrow morning for 2 weeks in Alaska.
We have family and friends tending to the farm and staying with the animals,
so Leo will be lovingly cared for....
Still, I will worry!

Oh, and I have prepared blog posts for while I am gone...
a sort of Who's Who on the farm.
Stay tuned.
Amanda will post Leo updates on our Facebook Page.

The juvenile guineas who just graduated from Birdbrain Academy
are doing great.
They roost each night beneath Sampson (the tree where the adults roost)
on top of the Academy roof.
The good news is that out of 15 of them, we still have 15!
They seem to have failed the course on traffic safety, however....
