My cat ( R.I.P) Ghost , i found her as a stray i knew right along she seemed a lil unhealthy but i thought she might be a lil underweight so i feed her and housed her . Come to find out she was pregnant. She didnt gain much weight though and i kept a close eye on her.. one night she just stopped eating and moving and she was breathing heavily i knew it was too soon for her to go into labor so i figured in the morning i would take her to the vet because out here we only have two vet office and they close at 4. It was way pass that... The next day i checked in on her .. she was walking around blood everywhere and 5 kittens laid cold on the floor.. two were dead and still in their sacks they were born in and the other 3 were freezing cold and one had dry blood on it that it stuck to the floor. I quickly watched and realized that the mother would have nothing to do with the 3 living ones.. I checked her nipples and no milk would come out... The kittens hardly had fur on em and wrinkled skin ... they were tiny too smaller than the palm of my hand... I took them from her and started to try to get them warm after that i started to get food in them... 2 days go by and 2 of them dir suddenly at night, leaving only one left...
After that i went out to feed my cat and take her to the vet to get fixed when i noticed she wasnt doing so good i figured she just was having a hard time recovering because of the early labor she had gone through and i gave her a nice place to lay and took care of her but the next day she was dead... i coulda swore though before that she was looking and acting alot healthier ...(R.I.P)
So here i am taking care of this very premature kitten... Then his lil unopened eyes started to swell.. took him to his first vet at age 2 weeks... they cut his eye open to get the puss out and put him on some antibiotics ... ew he told me the kitty had a slight respiratory problem too.. at 4 weeks we took him back because his eyes opened but now was getting swollen again!!! put him on differ antibiotics and some eye drops .. also the vet pointed out a deformed foot...
he is now 5 weeks and will be 6 weeks sunday.. he is just a lil bigger than my hand and very livly you can still tell that he has a breathing problems every now and then but he is slowly getting better!! his foot fixed itself and im so thankful for that.. He purrs , his eyes are huge he is now getting into (play) biting my finger and he tries his hardest to run but he trips over his feet... Such a beautiful lil black and white kitten..
today i did notice something that worries me , it wil lbe another week before his check up with his vet ... His ribs dont seem right, they dont seem to connect at the very end... they seem to kind of fold near the end. Because he is so small will the ribs correct itself like the foot did or is this a serious deformity? I heard about FCK syndrome , could that be the reason? should i call the vet asap about it or just wait till the check up?
