Another Hoshi update. He has been sick for a couple weeks now. That is one of the risks dealing with feral kittens.
The vets have seen him a couple of times. He has an inflammation in his digestive system causing Hoshi to have diarrhea and a fever. Y wanted to send Hoshi to an animal hospital for surgery but the risks were too high. The odds of him dying within a week were too great. His wife felt that Hoshi would recover on his own since he was still eating and drinking a lot. Hoshi gained about 0.5 kilos in one week. Hence it was decided to wait a week to see how he is doing.
Yesterday his litter became normal again. His fever is down. I even gave him a bath today since he got a bit dirty yesterday. He is still not very active but hopefully within a week, he will be active again. He is probably one of the most mellow cats I have ever owned.

It seem like he is doing better, I hope he get well soon. His eyes in the first picture are kinda scary ><.

He is getting more active but his diarrhea returned last night. I think due to the food. Next week he will get another check.
