Lumi FINALLY ate some very small pieces of chicken last night about 10:30. Then this morning she seemed back to normal. We'll see how lunch goes. And lost 1/2 ounce.. She can't afford that.....

I have a new foster litter or three 5-6 week olds who I've had for 10 days. One girl, Lumi was gaining weight slowly, 2 1/2 oz in a week, so I boiled up some chicken tenders to add to her food. She thinks it's candy. She's gained another 2 oz since Saturday. Although she's not a great eater...

Thanks for the encouragement. Overthinking at times makes me crazy. Lucy actually ate REALLY well this morning. She ate maybe a teaspoon of food yesterday twice which was a good sign. Her brother Edgar who is the biggest guy at 1.7 pounds decided to not be interested in food Tuesday night and...

I checked with the shelter. Since she seems to be on the right track, they aren’t going to give her anything else now. She had one stool during the night and one today. Stilll a little soft but not diarrhea. Now I gave another issue. Sometimes I wonder why I do this. The kittens are about 5...

We haven’t tried that yet. Just Strongid, Marquis and Panacur. Mom had a loose stool yesterday around noon with mucous in it. Since then, she had 1 during the night that was normal looking. Then 2 more today that looked good. This afternoon she had one that was a bit softer. She’s eating her dry...

Oh my goodness. What a 2 weeks this has been. It has been so frustrating with the Mom, Shadow and her gi issues. She has had a dose of Marquis and 3 doses of Panacur. That was from Wednesday to Friday. Her stools HAD been more formed over a few days. Then yesterday she had a VERY soft/diarrhea...

I am doing a slurry of Wellness kitten food and KMR. I forgot to mention that because there are 7 kittens I also started supplementing right away with KMR by bottle once a day. Poor Mom weighs all of 7 pounds. She was less during the diarrhea spell.

I took in a mom cat and her 7 kittens last week as fosters. The kittens are about 4 weeks old. I use a small bedroom, (about 10X11 feet) as my kitten room. Last week, they were too small to let have the run of the room. I have a large crate that zips open on 2 ends as well as the top. Mom can...

Thanks. Your words mean so much. After the last one I was the fragile one. I would be ok and rational and know that I did what I could from care to advocating for him with the shelter people and then emotions would take over. It was about a month till I evened out. The tears are flowing.

Thank you for your kind words. This is my second death of a foster in 4 months. It's so hard to not feel guilty. She definitely knew she was loved even though she was only here for 10 days. On my way to the shelter there was no way I was putting her in her carrier. She passed about 1/2 way...

Unfortunately the diarrhea turned to watery diarrhea. They gave her a shot for tapeworm, and Panacur and Marquis for Coccidia. But sadly she passed away in my arms late this morning

She is. Now when we fix her gi tract she'll be good

Thanks. I talked with the shelter manager, and I'm stopping in tomorrow and getting Panacur. Hopefully they will treat the tapeworm as well. So frustrating. That seems to be the way of life with me and fostering. Sometimes I wonder why I keep doing it

I have a new foster, a now 5 week old female. She's tiny, 14 oz now. I got her last Sunday at 4 weeks. The story was that she wanted to suck on everything except the bottle. It's a true story. Sometimes she will, but not often. I'm giving her kitten food thinned with KMR 3-4 times a day...

All set now. Finally. Over last weekend, the kittens decided that they didn't want to eat their Royal Canin Babycat canned food. I enticed them by adding a little babyfood meat on top. That worked for a few feedings. Then I remembered that I had some cans of Wellness kitten from a few...
