The chirpy bird is a huge success, both kittens playing with it and Hercules is also playing a little football too, I guess his lung capacity is almost back to normal, his eyes no longer need aureomycin and on Saturday he had a milbemax, Hester has just had day 3 of panacur; we are so lucky to have got these little ones when we did.

This morning while i was cleaning his pen Hercules decided he was well enough to sit up watching me instead of lying down saving his energy, i managed to take his picture and at last it is clear to see that the Ugly duckling has turned into the most beautiful kitten; bought them a new dangly bird that cheeps this morning and both are having great fun playing.
Have sandwiched Day 1 pic inbetween both of this mornings, the difference is just ................. I`m lost for words.

Heres a pic of them taken yesterday afternoon, think this answers your question Dawn, I could never spilt them up.
Hester has now stopped antibiotics, Hercules still on them but making great progress, cheeky chappie is becoming a tyrant when I bathe and medicate his eyes now, guess he`s feeling much better.
Sue lobster been removed will buy a new dangly at cash/carry tomorrow.

Love the bottom piccie of Hester too.  She looks like a right little challenger.  :evillaugh:  Hope she's not had any more unpleasant lobster encounters.  ;) ;D 

Hope Hercules is continuing to improve too.  Can't believe the difference in his eyes already.   :hug: :hug:

Wow! Hester looks full of it, so glad she is getting stronger as she looks so much smaller than Hercules!  :Luv2:

Now Hercules looks to me to be the strong silent type, definitely and Alpha male in the making there....Its good to know that the vet says next week for an apt..shows he has faith in the little one as he also has faith in your brilliant care T! Wishing the little one well!  :Luv2: :Luv: :hug:

So, Hester's a little squealer, eh?   :evillaugh:  Lobster is always tricky.  Paddy wouldn't have any truck with no lobster, oh no.  He prefers his (rather well worn) Lexy banduj  :Luv2: , his special turkey-lurkey, and his buzzy bee.  Gotta watch dem lobstas!  ;) :evillaugh:

Hercules has put up a bit of a fight while I was bathing and medicating his eyes this morning, a good sign that he is not only feeling better but his lung capacity is improving, he has also had a little play with a ball too. Still not had a purr from either of these ungrateful gannets but I have lots of patience. Hester got her claw caught up in their dangly lobster- no damage done but what a little squealer youd think she was being murdered,so lobster now removed and will have to find a new dangly.
Will get more pics soon.

Have to say that Hester is another Ripley  :rofl: she has totally recovered now; Hercules is making good progress but still has a way to go, his eyes are so much better now with all green gunge gone, he still has a loud crackle on his right lung, but is now lying down and playing a little,will be taking him for another vet check this evening.
