Please think good thoughts for this little kitten I found this morning [View all]

As you can see his left eye is slightly closed...it was completely closed when I got home from work...it's URI and I cleaned it and put topical antibiotics on it...he is also on oral antibiotics. Very sweet, although he doesn't look that way in this photo. Going out tomorrow to try and catch one of the siblings and the mom...sadly, there were 3 kittens and I had to bury the third this morning...Mom had them down in some underground tunnels and brought them up to eat...after I left some traps I came back and the dead one was by the trap...very bad URI it seemed did it in...I don't think it came up on its own...I think Mom carried it up to show me that she needed help. Poor little thing had a tough and short life, so I hope this guys does ok. The good thing is he's eating well and everything seems to be working ok on him.
