This is the type of morning when rescue sucks

For whatever reason, sweet, playful 2 month old Barnum is sliding downhill rapidly. He went from a kitty attacking our feet to a kitty just lying on the floor unwilling to move. I had a feeling something wasn’t right with him from the beginning, but I was hoping it was just a matter of an over-aggressive sister. Bailey has wanted to kill him from the start. I am talking full-frontal assault, teeth bared, claws out…scary stuff. I separated them immediately, but any time she found a way to get him- she would.

I am giving him fluids, he is eating, not drinking not moving much.He vomits a lot and has diarrhea bad.  He is also covered in ringworm (another indication his immune system is beat to hell) IF I took him in, it would be several hundred dollars to treat him as they would put him in isolation and everything they would do, I am doing for him now. He is a black kitty with a sweet personality but black kittens, they just don’t get adopted. They call it fading kitten syndrome. They don’t know why it happens, it just does. They go from vibrant to loving, to listless and lethargic at the turn of a dime. He laid in my lap all night barely moving. Didn’t squawk when I gave him fluids. I would dearly love my whirling dervish back. Please pray that I am wrong and he is just having a bad day.
