Bonnie's Kittens Thread (updates, pics, also why you should SPAY your cats!)

[princess purr]

I'm taking care of a kitty named bonnie. She had kittens on wednesday and was brought to my house on thrusday. She is one stressed out kitty right now that doesn't want to be a mommy. I'm having to force feed her so she can produce milk for the babies, but it looks like we are going to have to start at least partly bottle feeding them.

The kittens are:
Cally the calico she is 3.3oz today

Hally the tortie she is 4.1oz today
and Maui the black kitty is 3.5oz (I think, i'll have to weight that one again.

Pics coming soon. they are all dirty because she isn't doing a good job on cleaning them, so i guess i'll be bathing them to a wet wash cloth.

cally is dropping weight

I bottle feed her alittle today and then i put her back with mommy, if you can call her that

and she actually nursed alittle. So Hopefully if I can bottle feed and give her alittle and then she nurses alittle she will be okay.

So Cute.

Kittens do drop a little bit of weight after birth, I hope your kitten will be OK. My prayers are with you. I know what you are going through.

val you keep those little ones warm okay? Please know (as we have discussed) they are not out of the woods yet and won't be for some time. If you can get Mom healthy and she can start nursing again, that would be the best thing, they need her milk, but if she is sick the milk will be tainted depending on what is wrong with her. The not eating and the mucous in her stool has me concerned so were it me I would bottle feed those babies every 2 hours. Is mom grooming them or are you stimulating them?

When you wash their faces, use a cotton ball soaked in warm water, get the big cotton rolls and break off a new piece for each kitten. Wash them gently and don't leave them wet. Invest in a pet heating pad and put it down in the box with the kittens under a soft towel to help them stay warm.

Best of luck, you know how to reach me. I am praying this family makes it
