Mizzen and Azimuth (a story of orphaned kittens)

Normal days at the Vet office are never normal. Surprises can turn up at an time. Surprises like the little kittens that I began fostering in October of 2012. Meet Azimuth and his sister Mizzen:
Azimuth and Mizzen 2 weeks old


 I decided to give them nautical names because they were found on a boat. They were only about 2 weeks old and needed to be bottle fed, and needed assistance going to the bathroom. I fed them a mixture of goat milk and kitten milk replacer.

They seemed to be doing really well, but I noticed that Mizzen's eye looked a little strange. Like she could open her eye lid much wider on one side and you could see the vein on her tiny little eyeball.
Little did I know this would be the beginning of a long road. Her tiny little eyes would get crusty and she began pawing at them like they itched or hurt. Then they became infected.Time for baby's first vet visit!
Azimuth says "The other kitties said that the Vet is Scary!"
