I would keep fighting for the little ones life. Myself I would try to give him every fighting chance to live. When you do reach a vet I would try to see what could be done to try to save the little one before giving up and putting him/her to sleep. It sounds like the baby wants to survive.

Over the river and through the woods...
Do you have any live stock farmers around you? When our barn kittens get bad, we give them penicilin (can't remember the name, but it's pink, if that helps any) and that clears up the respitory problems pretty fast. You may want to see if anyone near by has any on hand for emergencies. Also, I've found that goat's milk goes down better when they are sick then store bought cats milk. Just another suggestion if you have any nearby.

Sounds like you are doing everything right though. If he's breathing, eating and pooing then things are starting to work. Good luck and god bless you!

Bad news guys


He died. I'm assuming he broke his back from the seizures, because they kept getting worse as they were happening. He was in an awkward position when I went to check on him, and it didn't look comfortable. I tried, I really wanted him to live, but it didn't work that way I guess. We were going to take him somewhere this morning and try to find someone that knew what they were talking about.

Thanks for the help, you guys are really good people.

Aw I'm so sorry! At least he had your love and care and didn't have to die unwanted and unloved and alone. Sometimes, that's the best we can do.

RIP little one.

All I can offer is tons of prayers and best wishes. I'm glad you are trying to help this little one. At least this baby knows some love.

I'm so sorry you lost this little baby, but it had more than most people would've offered a "kitten"......your love.

Play happily over the rainbow bridge baby!


And
to you.

I am praying for this innocent baby to make it through. I have saved many animals in my life though sadly, not all make it. You are an angel in this little ones darkest hours. He just may pull through. Hang in there honey.

Bless your heart... you did everything you could, and above all, you let him feel loved during his short little life.

I hope you'll remain an active member here -- you've already demonstrated the depth of compassion that makes you very clearly "one of us."

I'll certainly try. I have to take my tabby to the vet Tuesday to see if he has the potential to get sick, since URI's are contageous. (So I've read, I've never had a cat with one.)

You are a wonderful person...and I am so sorry about the kitten...But from the way you described the poor baby, he was suffering. He atleast had you to make his passing a little easier. Your kindness and warmth helped him through. I know you are now worried about your Cat...but getting him/her on antibiotics is the best thing...if he is not coughing or sneezing I would not worry to much. I just rescued a kitten and she had a URI and UTI, she was a sick kitty ...thank God my other cats did not catch it. Its been a little over 2 weeks and they are all doing well.
Thank God for Good People like you...Take care!
