This will be short

Wesley is hanging in there.  They have the bacteria identified as staph aureus which is not one of the super bugs so that is good.  The second culture has no growth so far.  

He is doing well and is almost 2#6oz not bad for not being fed.  

His chest xray shows some infiltrates in one lung lobe so they are keeping an eye on it.  They will resume feeding on Monday. 

It's a hard night for me bc we had a big surgery on a tiger and she didn't recover well and passed.  I can feel good knowing we tried and she is no longer in pain but it hurts that we were so close to making her better :(. Unfortunately tigers don't do well with sedation and this is one of those risks.  This is why you only sedate for good reason.  If she weren't hurting we would have let her alone.  RIP Morticia.
