    Newborn Kitten Paw Problem

    Well, update again on Moon Pie and the remaining babies. I lost one more yesterday, leaving four. They seem to be healthy, strong, nursing and their eyes are starting to open. Mom is on antibiotics 3x daily and that may rescue remaining kids. Keep all fingers crossed, maybe these final four...

    Newborn Kitten Paw Problem

    I lost 3 more kittens. I'm crushed. I really have done all I could. Mom gave birth in a clean room, away from all other animals. Vet won't treat week old kittens for the infection. I'm assuming mama probably had a uterine infection that passed to the babies. The remaining 5 seem healthy and...

    Newborn Kitten Paw Problem

    My little Moon Pie (only 7 pounds) just gave birth last week to 9 kittens (YES!!! 9!!!) We lost one after only 3 days but the rest are still going strong. I noticed the other day one of the babies had "lumps" on her two front thumbs. I figured she had a slight deformity, but last night noticed...
