    My baby is trying to chew her foot off!!

    Thank you! I am willing to try anything to help her.  I don't want to lose her, she is only 2 and has overcome so many problems in her short life.

    My baby is trying to chew her foot off!!

    I can when she goes for a change of bandage, right now its covered.  To describe what she does in the meantime, she seems to be targeting one toe in particular.  She will chew on her claw and while doing that she will pierce the top and sides of her foot with her fang.  She also  chews down into...

    Did we kill the kitten??

    Thank you for all your insight.  I guess its never easy to lose a fur baby. Rest in peace little girl, run and grow on the Rainbow Bridge and know in your heart I tried to save you.

    Did we kill the kitten??

    Hello-yes, I used the KMR available from Petco (don't remember brand name) and I put the syringe in  the corner of her mouth and slowly gave it to her.  She would swallow and burp.  I usually sat her upright in my lap. I did not think of a heating pad...DUH.  I just had her wrapped up in a soft...

    My baby is trying to chew her foot off!!

    I posted last year when we adopted Wiggles, that she has Cerebral Hypoplasia.  CH kitties have neurological issues and walk like they are drunk.  Balance is off and such.  Otherwise they are healthy. About 3 months ago, she started chewing her one toe on her foot.  we took her to vet after vet...

    Did we kill the kitten??

    Thank you...that is one comforting thought that she didn't die alone, cold and in the dirt somewhere.

    Did we kill the kitten??

    My husband and I are heartbroken.  He found a very tiny kitten (2-3 weeks old) outside on Wednesday morning.  She was crying loudly, no mama around and was very skinny-you could feel her bones. We brought her in, wrapped her up, and got some KMR and a bottle.  She wouldn't eat-just kept crying...

    Kitties with Cerebral Hypoplasia

    I worry about her teeth too.  She is only about 7 months old now, but later when she is bigger, we may experience that problem as well.  It sure seems as tho these cats are more affectionate, loving, and appreciative of the work and effort involved with them.  I wouldn't trade her for all the...

    Kitties with Cerebral Hypoplasia

    We adopted a feral baby who has Cerebral Hypoplasia.  For those who have never heard of this condition, its a neurological condition that affects their movements, primarily the hind quarters.  They also shake and bob their heads while trying to eat or focus on something.  Its sad, but Wiggles...

    Kittens with Cerebellar Hypoplasia

    HAHA...yes, her head bobs quite fast too when she is trying to eat or is engaged in 'killing' one of the toys she loves.  Is there anything special you need to do for these little guys?  I understand there is no medication to help curb their shakes and wobbles-right?  Yes, I saw the Charlie...

    Kittens with Cerebellar Hypoplasia

    We have a colony of ferals outside besides our 3 indoor cats.  We try to grab and fix them all, but occasionally one or two get missed. 2 months ago one of the females had a litter of 3.  2 of them are fine, but one had trouble walking, would fall over constantly, her head shakes sometimes but...

    I feel SO BAD!!!

    We feed a passel of kitties outside as well as my 3 indoor cats.  It's expensive, but they come to depend on you and the satisfying feeling of doing something great and connecting with them is overwhelming sometimes. Yes-in conjunction with our animal rescue teams-which we support-all but the...

    Our Pregnant Feral Mama

    Thank you for your replies.  Yes, it does help to think that some already living kitten will possibly be spared.  I guess it's just remorse on my part for not insisting they grab those last two ferals last year when we had them all fixed.  More seem to show up all the time.  *sigh*. Another...

    Our Pregnant Feral Mama

    UPDATE:  Well, our Mama hadn't had her babies yet and the rescue team caught her last night so they will do what they have to I guess.  I am saddened because her babies will never have a chance to grow and be loved.  It breaks my heart and when I expressed my concerns and my heartbreak to them...
