Saved by a week & Update!
Yesterday the boys had distemper shots and weighed in at a whopping 3.08 pounds for Jay and 3.07 pounds for Monkey. The boys were also cleared weight check so they were scheduled for neutering.
Today Monkey & Possum, now know as Jay Bird, we’re scheduled for neutering and had to be at the shelter at 8am.
One nice surprise is how behaved these two are in the car. Usually car rides are pretty stressful with screaming cats but not with these two. They are absolutely amazing. A couple mews but then it’s nap time.
Well, next week we try again. Fingers & paws crossed!
UPDATE! While at the shelter this morning, my previous fosters were in with their new mommy for spaying. What a treat to see Moo Moo and Rasta. Their new mom is madly in love with them and I was able to go into medical and hold them and check them out. They look absolutely amazing! They also seemed to remember me, Moo Moo layed in my arms like a baby! What an absolute treat to see them and how happy they are, as is their new mom. A complete success and rare treat to get to see kittens after adoption and get an update. It was so overwhelming I cried to drive home, what a sucker I am!
Once we got back home, about 60 minutes later, Monkey was violently ill. Vomiting over and over and crying. Apparently he had a reaction to the distemper shot and was so ill that if he drank water he would get sick. He also had major eye discharge and his nose & face were wet from the extreme amount.
After speaking to the shelter, there was a concern about dehydration and possibly having to skip his neutering and have IV fluid drip instead.

Upon arrival this morning Monkey was as looked at and decided to wait a week to fix them. The concern of him being dehydrated and having a reaction to the anesthesia would be risky. Luckily he wasn't to the point of needing IV drip but it just makes sense to wait and I never have a problem keeping kittens extra! hahaha. So, the boys go back next week.
Monkey in my arms hiding from the idea of being neutered. Of course, he had his stuffed mouse for extra consolation.
