Then I would have a discussion with your vet. Quilt may need to be seen to determine why she isn't allowing the kittens to nurse.

Thank you so very much for taking such good care of those kittens. They are so precious, aren't they. Helpful headbuts and sooooothing licks from KittenKiya's Clan and hopefully Quilt can settle down and nurse her babies.

Good morning. How are the little ones today? By the way, how many kits did she have? Is she getting any closer to them? This must be hard for you.

Oh honey, thank God you got to them in time. Oh Lord, 7......ahhhh you have a job on your hands. Do they think that mom will come around to take care of them? Can you tell if she has milk? do you have enough kitten formula?

Good luck with the kittens and keep us posted when you have a chance (which probably won't be often!)

Has Quilt decided that she is going to nurse the babies or are you still doing all the work? My goodness, that must be hard.

the kittens have gained waight and the vet said one of the cats just had kittens and all of them had died and she still has milk so we put the kittens in her box and she perked right up and fed them. quilt is happy but she came down with a cat type flu that should be gone by next week. so i am a work taking care of new born abandon pups thier owner just dumped them in the trash. it made me soo mad. and we found owners for all the kittens and i am keeping lilly the runt.

I had a kitten that had that problem with her hind paws because she got stuck in the birth canal for a while (she was the first kitten). The vet said that he would rather wait until she grew up to see if the surgery is necessary because we'd know after about five weeks if the paws would wall off and die (needing surgery) or if circulation would return. It took nearly two months, but her paws completely healed, and I was honestly shocked, because it was pretty bad! How bad is your little kitten?

Actually, I'm guessing the kitten already had her surgery... how did it go? How are you holding up? If you're anything like me, you'd be loving every bit of it.
Worried sick, but loving it.
