Some of you may remember me- I had the foster kittens who were from a litter where 6 of 9 died and were presumed to have been exposed to FIP- the vet flat out told my foster coordinator the whole litter would die. I took them to my own vet and got a second opinion, and I still firmly believe...

I talked to Hissy and she is GREAT! She gave me some good suggestions that have helped. That is General Mao, the kitten who was having trouble- that's the day I got him. Here the kiddos are sharing a hug and a MEW about a week later. And more hugging. General Mao is doing better- I...

Okay, apparently none of the pictures of General Mao want to work. Hmm. Stupid TinyPic. I'll take some new ones when I can.

Here are some pictures of General Mao (black) and Monster a couple days after they came home. They're a little bigger now, but not much.

Karo Syrup? Why Karo syrup? They didn't get a treatment for fleas but we are in Colorado where fleas are unusual and I haven't seen any on them. I don't know if they are anemic- I only just took custody, haven't done any bloodwork other than Fel-Leuk/FIV testing. Their gums look fine to me and...

Okay, so the kittens turned six weeks this week. They are both still alive (knock wood) but out of the nine, only one other besides my two is surviving. General Mao, the smaller black kitten, is not gaining weight at the rate I'd like him to, but does still have a full belly and is eating and...

Okay, I called Alameda East (yeah the one from Animal Planet) and talked to the vets there- they don't think that it is correct for the other vet to be expecting the whole litter to get FIP and die. I'm still very worried about the kids- especially General Mao who seems to be gaining weight a...

The black kitten just threw up- how much should I panic? Both kittens tested negative earlier this week for FeLv and FIV. I have not had a coronavirus antibody titer done since today is the first day I knew about it and I'm afraid if I take them to the rescue's vet (who is VERY nice and I do...

I have with me two foster kittens of just over 4 weeks old. They belong to a local no-kill rescue group and were supposed to stay with me just long enough to gain enough weight for shots and neutering before being placed for adoption. I have fostered several kitties previously, but I have never...
