Rufus was living with Boon & Dork, the Paris kids that were supposed to
come back tot eh shelter on x-mas eve.  THANKFULLY they surprised me by
showing up tonight.  Rufus is in critical condition at the vets tonight,
he was rushed there by Lynn & Britt, shortly after he arrived back at the
shelter.  When he got here, he was VERY dehydrated.  We rushed to get
some sub-q fluids into him and watched as he wobbled from side to side.
 
He continuously tried to pee-pee without much luck.  When he did squeeze
some urine out, it was bloody.  He lay in my arms, shivering and his body
temperature was quite cold (though i don't have a thermometer to check
it).  I'll know more late tonight when the vet on call gets back to me
with a firmer plan.  For now, he's on an IV drip with antibiotics but is
in serious condition.
 
Please, keep Rufus in your prayers tonight.
