Just got out of the vet!
She said to keep supplementing her, and to keep her on her meds (she was almost out of one of them). She also said her lungs sound clear!
She wasn't dehydrated enough to need subcu fluids, but the bad bacteria levels in her fecal test are still way too high.
So I'm...
Unfortunately, that's most likely not the case with Pixie. And if it is, it will be severely complicated by her other health issues.
Pixie is one of the ones that was accidentally overdosed, so she is dealing with multiple infections.
It's been awhile since I updated, has been crazy here!
Phoenix is growing and thriving, she is the most active of the three and is constantly trying to climb out of their bed. She also gets really excited when I come in.
Spirit is no longer having the bloody diarrhea! She is starting to play...
Oh! And here is my older foster, Eevee, who has officially been declared URI, coccicida, and round worm free! She will be going to our rescues next adoption fair.
All of them are on probiotics, Phoenix and Pixie have URIs as well. I'm still supplementing, mama is on probiotics and I'm mixing some probiotics into their milk that I'm giving them.
All 3 are still gaining weight- Phoenix is up to 9 ounces now! And Spirit is at 8 ounces, Pixie is at 10...
Allow me to clarify- I was not medicating the mama cat. The overdose happened 4 days ago. Their human mama says she didn't know the medicine would hurt them, and so didn't tell anyone about it until I was rushing the kittens to the vet to figure out why they were so sick.
I, too, wish I had...
UPDATE! Just got back from the vet! Pandora and Pixie are suffering from an accidental overdose of worm medicine and antibiotics. Basically, they managed to consume Tiger's dose after she let it drip from her mouth.
They are both very sick, the medicines killed off all the good bacteria in...
I actually started off with both Phoenix and Spirit, solely bottle feeding. At that time, they were both under 6 ounces. Then Phoenix started thriving, and so we decided to try her back with Tiger.
I now have Phoenix and the rest because Phoenix is gaining rapidly, while Pixie and Pandora are...
Ok so... something just happened, and I'm not sure if there is anything I can or should do about it...
The three kitties today came with their mama cat, Tiger. The bottle feeding I'll be doing is supplementary, since they were losing weight with Tiger.
Well, I heard Spirits little mewl so I...
Thank you! That's all I needed to know, I realized I forgot to put the picture of Spirit at the end of my post, so here it is. These pictures were taken yesterday, you can clearly see how far she has come since I got her already- when I first got her, she couldn't hold up her head, was too weak...
I have a new litter of kittens to bottlefeed, from two seperate sources. A total of 4 kittens, 2-3 weeks old.
Two of the kittens are severely underweight, and 2 of them are average size but suddenly started dropping.
One of them is on medicine for a bacterial infection that is causing her to...
I have sad news this morning. Last night, Miracle had to be rushed to the EVet again, due to extreme difficulty breathing.
It was determined that she had extremely bad pneumonia (the vet said from the surgery) and a bad infection at the surgery site. Because of the severity of both infections...
Sorry it took so long for me to reply again! Miracle had to be rushed to the EVet, she aspirated part of the 2 CCs and was struggling to breathe.
The good news is that the vet said it was a very small amount, they put her on an antibiotic in case of pneumonia.
The other good news is that...
