Thank you. Mum is eating- I finally found a food she likes and I'm adding extra water to it.

Hi! Yes I've taken the two smallest away and popped in an incubator for now, am supplementing with kitten formula, a littleo Clostrum and probiotics (to help with the diarrhea). They seem to take to the miracle nipple teat whilst away from mum but am hoping this isn't a permanent fixture

Apologies! So I'm top up feeding with kitten milk and probiotics (as a few babies have diarrhea too). I use miracle nipples and syringe feed but they fight me at every turn! 😭 Mumma is really good and attentive, and the babies are constantly suckling....just no milk!

Hi all, Foster mumma here, I have 4 x 13 day old kittens and mum. One of the kittens is around 128g, and the rest around the 220g mark. At one point I thought little one felt cold but wasn't sure as mum had been licking him. They are in a pen with a heat pad and a warmie as well as mum...

Ahhh thank you. They are both on loxicom for a few days! Thank you for putting me at ease :)

Hi all! So we end up changing the body suit to the cone for the female as she just couldn't stand up wearing the body suit at all. We've cut a fluffy sock up and popped it round her neck to help with comfort on her neck sutures. She managed to pull out her stitches in the morning after her spay...

Hmm, took the suit off and she can walk fine. Will she get used to the suit?

Hi all! So the vet ended up doing the neutering for both of them earlier due to finding that the female had mammory hyperplasia anyway and thought best to have them done at the same time (today- picked them up at 4pm) I did try paper pellet litter and integrate them before the surgery but...

Just to confirm with you all- Herbie has been given the all clear! His sister did start to show signs of an eye ulcer herself (it was over the Xmas period when the vets were closed) but thankfully as we already had the medicine and knew what to look out for, when we managed to get her in, we...

Thank you so much! It's actually really helpful having so many people to ask for advice. Make me feel less anxious and alone!

Hi! Unfortunately the vets won't do them before they are 5 months old. I have mentioned about doing it earlier because if their different sexes but that's the earliest they gave me unfortunately. Okay I shall have a look into baby onesies for the female (how will she go to the toilet?) I'm...

Also is dust free cat litter worth getting?

Hi all, First time cat owner here! I've booked my black male and female domestic shorthair sibling kittens in for their neutering and spaying on the day they turn 5 months old. I was just wondering what to expect afterwards and if anyone has any advice. They hate to be separated so was...

This is my other post with more information about his eye problems if that might help Cat flu

Hi all, just wanted to give an update! The vet told us he has made a miraculous recovery and there's no reason his eye shouldn't fully heal! He tested negative for aids and leukemia, but unfortunately tested positive for Chlamydia and Mycoplasma so just awaiting some antibiotics for the both...

Hi all! I need some advice on my kittens (1 male and 1 female). We got them at 8 weeks old and it's been a whirlwind since then (they are now 15 weeks old) . Our kittens have been sick on and off since then, and our male nearly lost his eye due to a nasty virus. He is currently on exocin eye...

As you can see in the right eye, there is a small corneal ulcer

Hi all, I just wanted to let you know I took him to the vets and they said his eye was so bad that we had to go to an eye specialist at a vet hospital an hour away the next day. The specialist said that he is very close to popping the eye but that she's reluctant to do surgery on a kitten so...

Hi vets, Advice needed for first time cat owner please. I have two 13 week old kittens, one female, one male. When we got them both at 8 weeks, the female seemed to be sneezey and snotty with gooey eyes, and then a week later the male seemed to have it too. I took them to the vets for...
