He was seen by a vet tech, AND by the vet. He is so tiny. that it was hard to take his temp, either through his ear or his butt, because the temp readers are just too big.

They agreed that, despite being so small, he's at the 3 week mark. His teeth are coming in, he's starting to self groom and quite often he pees and poops without assistance. Now I'm trying to introduce him to the litter box. Well, actually a makeshift one, using the top of a shoe box.

Barring anything with his health coming up, we'll go back in a couple of months. He will be big enough to start vaccinations and get neutered. I'll just stay hyper vigilant.
