There are a ton of green ones, but it could frost at any time. It's cold enough!<br />JW...hope you were able to eat the tomatoes I sent home with you...<br />Brenda, Thanks for letting me know, I was wondering how it went! It was nice meeting you too.<br />Kathy, Thanks for all the tips. After having mostly 'normal' health here in the kitties, it's been a shock to the system. Sage is well now. I need to get him on a little yogurt though, to help his tummy back to normal function.<br />Vicki, Sage is doing great now, his old ornery self, which I'm happy to see!<br />Tina--isn't it awful how spoiled the sheep get??? But at least this way there is very little waste. The cost isn't any different, so I held out for this lovely second cutting stuff. Some years that would have backfired and there would have been no seconding cutting, but this year was great!<br />TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28884256.post-34501158976944869772009-10-11T20:48:24.901-07:002009-10-11T20:48:24.901-07:00Wow, you've been busy -

It i...Tammy, my heart goes out to you and Sage Cat. It is so hard when they aren't feeling good. One thing I suggest you might want to have on hand is a bag of lactated ringers with a line and maybe a 20 guage needle (the 18s are a bit big for cats but also work). Have your vet show you how to administer subcutaneous fluids to a cat. Keeping a vomiting/poopy cat hydrated can mean the difference between life or death. Cats become dehydrated fast without much warning. Everyone here gets 100cc min. when they are vomiting due to illness. (As opposed to vomiting for furballs or overeating) The bag of fluid and line are not too expensive - cheap insurance to keep our furfriends hydrated.<br />You can tell how dehydrated he is by pulling the skin on the back of his neck up and seeing if it snaps back quickly. A fast response means he's hydrated, but if the skin doesn't snap back, he needs fluids.<br />After the antibiotics, see if he'll take a little yogurt. Those good bugs will help his poor little tummy, if he likes milk. Ziggy, Pixel, Shadow and I usually share some strawberry kefir or yogurt in the evenings. :)<br />We'll be thinking good thoughts for you and the Sage Cat today.<br />((hugs))Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933105773412843275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28884256.post-19169961507660682162009-10-06T08:50:12.618-07:002009-10-06T08:50:12.618-07:00Hi Tammy,

The ram is still in his own pen yet, but it won't be long before he can go to "work." :) The little ewe is letting me pet her, and they both seem pretty content. We enjoyed meeting you guys Saturday.<br /><br />Hope Sage is feeling better soon.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864238564223046820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28884256.post-65645912865226218902009-10-06T04:55:14.581-07:002009-10-06T04:55:14.581-07:00Wow, hadn't heard from you...had no idea thing...Wow, hadn't heard from you...had no idea things were hopping so... on the farm. <br /><br />I am still getting a green pepper or two, but I pulled the tomatoes a couple of weeks ago, they were a mess.<br /><br />Poor Sage.T.
