April 3rd is GoodAllDay, a global movement to honor Jane Goodall’s legacy.
Jane spent her life proving that every individual makes a difference, and that small acts—especially when multiplied—can change the world.

It's Formerly Feral Friday.
We chose to no longer wait to see our regular vet at the scheduled Friday morning, and on Thursday evening went to Advanced Animal Emergency.
I'd been able to scoop up Henry and stuff him into his carrier in a minute (!)
Other than being skittish, Henry allowed being weighed, his heart listened to, and his gums were pink.
Then he was whisked away for a blood draw.
The veterinarian reported:
1. Suspected upper respiratory infection, per blood work
2. Conjunctivitis in right eye
3. Some dental disease
He received a Covenia antibiotic shot, good for 14 days.
Tobramycin opthalmic solution drops in right eye every 8 hours for a week.
Gabapentin anti-anxiety liquid by mouth every 8-12 hours for 10 days.
1/2 of a Cyproheptaine appetite stimulant pill by mouth every 12 hours for 3 days.
He's wearing a cone, which makes it easier to administer medications for me, but he's not a fan.
Will settle my nerves before I move from blogger mode into my nursing role.
Was also given instructions on syringe-feeding Henry, should we get to that point.
His weight remains just under 10 lbs/4.5 kg.
My first emergency vet visit, and while it took a few hours, the staff was wonderful to Henry and me.
