It's been a while since I updated. I've been busy as heck! We've decided to keep the two kittens. We have Pete, named after 'Pete the Cat' children's book series, and Rose whom my daughter named the day they came home. So, that's it, we now have three cats! I'd post pics if I had the patience...

Yep, nice fat tummies that make them wobble and almost touch the floor. Good to know it's actually b/c they're fairly healthy. I see what you mean about the suckling. I've been checking her vulva and it seems to be getting better. She screams at him and fights him when he tries. And omg, the...

I can find out the dosage, I think. The .02 sounds about right, but I'll find a way to be sure. It does appear the suckling has stopped. I found that (as I thought) they were playing more, and the male does play more, that she would scream when he was doing what looked to me like he was biting...

Thank you, Catwoman, for your compassion :) I appreciate it as I DO feel guilty over the lost ones. Knowing I did what I could makes it a little easier; and that any chance is better than being left in a wet field. .... The medicine is Panacur and I have it in syringes. Okay, the genital...

Thank you for rallying the troops! Yes, they are both eliminating daily. I just witnessed the little girl (the one I'm the most worried about) urinate. The litter was wet when she finished. Big relief b/c I wasn't sure that she was. I am almost certain that she is defecating as well.   I have...

HELP!!! One of the remaining kittens has swollen genitalia. Her belly is distended and hard, she's in obvious discomfort too. This is the same that the other went through before he passed. I don't know what's causing it! I don't know what to do about it, or how to help them. The other's...

Sadly, a third kitten passed away this morning. I didn't expect that he would make it, but it is still sad. I'm not sure if there's a name for this, but the sheath covering his penis was growing more and more enlarged and come to a flat stop of pink skin at the end a few mm wide. Anyhow, I don't...

Stefan, Those are good ideas! I was definitely planning to charge something, if even only $20. At first I thought it was selfish, but I realize that I need to recoup some of my costs too. And you are right, people aren't going to pay that much for a kitten than they're just going to dispose of...

Thanks Levi! I'm in South Louisiana, so it'll be hot here for, well, forever, lol! There are so many PTS here, and we don't have a good TNR program so there aren't many options for these guys except to find homes for them. Unfortunately, craigslist is the easiest way to rehome them. I've heard...

Thank you for the info. The two stronger ones are still doing well, and so is the third one I thought would go down hill. I'm sure he's not out of the woods yet, but I'm not getting my hopes up. One thing I know they are missing is the connection and attention their mother would be able to give...

Either trying to nurse on her, or is beginning to play?

Thank you, again :) Yes, I've been using nothing but fleece and the ones that are doing well are doing fine with it. They move away from the warmer part where the heating pad is as they like, and I've seen them stretched out like little bosses ;) The second little boy passed away this evening...

Sadly, the little one passed overnight. I did what I could but still feel terrible. I feel as though I failed her. She was the smallest, and had sort of stopped growing. She was very active and boisterous until yesterday evening. A second one is in rapid decline now. This is the one that got...

Seeing the new pics, that's a male. No doubt.

I have a litter of five 3 wk old kittens I'm bottle feeding. They're starting to show interest in canned food, but are still being bottle fed w/some canned food left out for them. One of the kittens started vomiting yesterday. She also stuffed herself silly yesterday, so I thought maybe her...
