My Foster Baby Lenard RIP Sweet Boy

[Dahlas]

I foster a lot of baby animals for the shelter I work for......I recently fostered a litter of kittens who were in the worst shape I had ever seen....VERY thin, scared etc...... they all became very friendly and fat and playful in no time at all.....except Lenard. Lenard is very friendly and sweet...he loves to cuddle and purrs and soon as he sees you but despite all my best efforts he doesn't grow and is very quiet......I took Lenard to the vet and he has something wrong with his liver......The vet put him on antibiotics hoping it is an infection of the liver but she feels it is probably a congential defect........ :sad3:
If the antibiotics doesn't help then poor little Lenard will die.....
All of his brothers and sisters have been adopted. Lenard will be staying with me until either he makes a full recovery and can be adopted to a great home or until he has to be euthanized...

This is Lenard and my dog Benny. Benny is a great foster "mom"

That is so adorable. There are very few dogs out there that are willing to understand and do that. Such a pretty sight!

 

[Petitepuppet]

Aww I really hope he makes it :sad3: .

I know how you feel. I also work at a rescue centre and yesterday we lost a pup :sad3: . It's always hard

OMG Lenard and Hank could be twins!

 

[Godmother]

Benny makes such a great "mom". Let's hope that sweet little Lenard gets better.

Mt sweet little boy died in my arms about an hour ago........I was going to have him euthanized tomorrow....he was not responding to meds.....but still eating and purring...it was just like he was a clock winding down......
