I could use your prayers

I just saw this.......Sept 24th

Debra, any news? We're still out there pulling for your three little angels' siblings. Hope they're stronger. Of course we mourn your loss. Many have responded to your other post, but we keep that ray of hope burning for the rest!

Thank you everyone. We are still working on O'Henry - he is weak and listless and shows no sign of wanting to eat. We are putting a grool mixture of kitten food and formula in a syringe and feding him with that. he is getting sugar water and formula as well. I bought him a special baby bed today and he has the rice bag heated as well as the heating pad. Still no improvement - BUT he is still with us.
The kits spent ALL day at the Vet's on Monday and then yesterday we lost the 3. O'Henry was looked at again late yesterday afternoon - no answers.

Debra, What more could you possibly do? If the vet couldn't help, why do you expect so much of yourself? I tube fed a collie puppy every two hours around the clock for two weeks once. (He couldn't nurse.) He did well, and then started to lose weight. The vet could not diagnose his problem, but said if he couldn't suck, give him goat's milk in a bottle and squeeze the bottle. I did that; he loved it, but died that night. My heart was broken, as yours is, but I knew I had done all that could be done for that baby. I cried for hours; when you're tired you just can't take it. You are probably exhausted. Do your best, but remember, even vets can't always diagnose internal problems in young kittens or pups. You're an angel to care for them.

Jeanie - your words mean so very much to me.

Deb, I am praying for O'Henry. I know this is breaking your heart, but like Jeanie has said, you did all you could possibly do!!! Those little babies were in the best of hands with you, so if they didn't make it with you, they would not have survived with anyone. They are okay now...free of pain and they would not want you to feel bad.

Deb, lots and lots and lots of prayers going up for O'Henry, and as Debby said, we all know these kitties were/are in the best possible hands.. All the best for little O'Henry, and please remember to take care of yourself!!

Sending healing energies to the kittens... and some to you too (to help with the heartbreak...)

I wish I could give you a big hug. Your heart must be breaking. I'm sending my "Be Strong" thoughts to you and O'Henry.

O'henry is improving!
I took him last night to my regular Vet and started him on an IV fluid treatment. He had another one this morning and again just now!
You would ot believe the difference in him! He is active ad playing and meowing and today he ate 3 1/2 ounces of furmula on his own!
