Bless your heart for taking these babies in! I truly hope they survive. Just remember, if they don't, you tried and put your whole heart into it. They know love already now! <3

Hi all,
I finally had a moment to come online to update you folks. SO we all made it through the night well, although the lightening storm was a bit scary for me. My sister and dad went and got some proper mix and a proper bottle from the vet and she has been very very very diligent about feeding. Already I can see some strength arrising...they were even climbing the side of the carrier during feeding time (and not to mention my pant legs). When I got home, I called the vet and the vet tech slipped me a couple of flea combs, to which, I promptly went home and flea combed like a mad woman. I think we missed a couple, but we'll be diligent about it. With clean bedding, bellies full, bathrooming done and fewer fleas, they are all cuddled up and sleeping in their carrier at the moment. Oh! my sister actually got one to purr during the most recent feeding
Oh and also: We had some more eye openings last night.
I found out that i have to work tomorrow, but it's definately my last last day. After that I'm calling the SPCA about either them having a foster or them taking me on as one...we'll see.
So...so far so good. I'll keep you all updated as often as I can. Promise

That sounds wonderful I have been thinking about you and the kittens all day ! .... You did a great thing in going to get them. Heres hoping to some big fat tummied kittens. Way to go to you !!!
doesnt that just make your heart want to weep for joy.
Thankyou for being so wonderful and taking these little ones into your home and your heart
Oh, what a wondeful person you are for taking them in! I can't imagine they would have made it much longer without your help. Bless you!
Sounds like you are doing exactly what is needed, they are some very lucky little kittens to have found themselves in your care!
Please keep us updated and pictures would be great too (hint, hint)

Short update today!
They've been fed every 2 hours today (thanks to my fantastic sister) and continue to look good. One of my friends from work brought in a flea catcher, which I'm skeptical will work (basically a light/sticky paper contraption that you put near where the fleas are from) but everything is worth a try. Also, my friend who made the phone call to me in the first place came by to see them and gave me enough money to cover food until they're weaned. So we're all set. Going to still call the SPCA tomorrow to talk to them about things like shots (in the future) and maybe some kitten food when they've been weaned. So far so good...just a little concerned about the runt, but it is still eating ok, so we're just trying to get as much food into it as possible.
Pictures to come tomorrow or the next day, depending on how much time I have.
Hugs and happy tears to all of you

Question for you knowledgeable folks.
We've finally had some poo's in the brood...but one of them is having a distended anus with some yellow poo poking through. It's obviously having a hard time passing it...my hypothesis is that these are remains from what was inside when we first took the kittens in. I've tried a warm moist washcloth and it seems to have wiped away some of it...was wondering if maybe rubbing some mineral oil might help
Thoughts?

Oh...I don't know....but you may want to give your local vet's office a quick ring and see what they say.

Katie is right, just to be sure.......
