I have not written much lately as we have been quite busy here over the last month.
Also we have 2 sick cats of which one is touch and go.

Cole, our breeding male, has been and still is very sick.
It seems he has a kidney problem, a generic decease with Cheetahs, and we are trying to nurse him back to health again.

Shakira, one of our breeding females, has a parasite and we have been working hard to get that fixed too.
She will come right but for now Cole is the one we have a problem with.
They both received their medication from the doctor, but giving it to them is a bit of a problem.

Trying to hand feed a fully grown Cheetah is not an easy job to do. Hahahaha

He is very thin and he is in a bad shape.
His coat is not shiny anymore and in places also matted.
Of every meal we feed him he throws up about 75% right after he has eaten it.

Eish.

It is like taking care of an infant all over again. O/ -O-

Thanks you 2.

Shakira will not be problem, but we are starting to doubt seriously if Cole will bounce back.

At this stage we are giving him another week as the medicine does not really seem to help much.
After that we are going to brainstorm wethet to pit him down or give it a week more.

Very tough decision on both accounts. ^0^ O/
