I have posted about the abandoned kittens I found a couple weeks ago.
Neither of them made it the smaller sicker looking girl didnt make it through the first night but the stronger girl (they were calicos) made it through 4 days. I dont really know how old they were but the larger one weighed 4 oz at the vets office and they didnt have their eyes open but they were clawing their ways aound very well.
The vet said they had upper repiratory infections. I left the strong at the vets for 8 hours they wanted to try and get her eating better because she was completely uninterested and was aspirating some formula for me at home.
When I picked her up he said he had put a drop of advantage on her for her fleas and he also gave me antibiotics for her upper respiratory infection. He also gave me a syringe witha tiny tube on it that I had to tube feed her with because she was aspirating from a syringe or eyedropper and not even trying to suckle from a bottle. at any rate I had to force her to swallow that tube every two hours. which she hollared at me for until the food started filling her belly.
after giving her the tiny dose of antibiotics I noticed she seemed to have less energy but her nose was a lot clearer and she wasnt wheazing. however with the next dose she seemed to lose her voice ( she would look like she was meowing but nothing would come out. then she became way less active. she wasnt digging her way through making little tunnels in her towels anymore and she just wasnt right. I was to giver her the antibiotics 2 times a day but she lived long enough to have three doses.
I guess what I am asking is did my vet kill this baby? Unfortunately I hadn't seen this site yet. I found it just hours before she died I didnt even have time to register as a user yet. These babies were obviously I know that by reading threads on here and looking at pictures of other newborns on this site. But I am having a really hard time dealing with this. and i just need to know cause my heart is telling me to do this again cause I loved those babies.
Thank you
