Oliver

Meet Oliver:


He is the newest member of the Willyard family. He is about 7 to 8 weeks old. We found him on Hilcroft and 90 going to my parents house a couple weeks ago. He was almost hit be a car several times and James and I just going bare to see him get hit. We picked him up and took him home with us. He was very malnuristed, had a bloated tummy, horrible fleas, and some open wounds. I dropped him off at the vet on Monday so they could look him over. The doctor wasn't totally sure if he would pull through, but she didn't exactly say that. She said to keep him warm, clean, gave him some worm treatments and an antibiotic and to follow up in a week. On our second visit he got a better bill of health but still wanted us to continue the antibiotic and come back in another week. When we returned for our 3rd visit he was doing much better, all the worms were gone, he wasn't as bloated, he had fattened up a little and the fleas were gone, but he had developed a mange so we are now treating that with wipes once a day and they gave him his first set up shots and a does of advantage to see if that would help with the mange. So after a week and a half of not knowing for sure if he would pull through it looks like he is ours to keep.

He loves to run around the house and keep me up all night. He is very active but also a little stinker too. Him and Indiana do not get along and I don't see them getting along anytime soon, but he is here to stay so hopefully they will start to get along. The dogs on the other hand love him. Especially Jersey they love to play together and I have even caught them sleeping together. I will have to try and get a picture next time.

Kelbie is very excited to finally have her very own kitty that she can pick up and play with. She is always very concerned with what he is doing and often wants him to eat next to her at dinner time.

No more animals for us. We have more then enough to handle.
