Good morning everyone! I am a new member so bear with me please. About 6 mos ago I captured a stray kitten (Mouse). She was young (maybe 6-8 wks old) and about 2 weeks ago I was able (financially) to have her spayed. A week AFTER I had her spayed I heard some serious mewling under my trailer. A week previously I found a dead cat and she looked to have had babies recently. I managed to retrieve 5 kittens (eyes barely open n still doing to "weeble walk"). I brought them into the house, set them all up in a box and tried desperately to feed them (milk replacement)and they REFUSED to eat. Went to bed n woke up the next morning to find Mouse in the box nursing them! After just being spayed the week before. I know they r eating because they aren't crying when they try to feed. BUT Mouse has gotten extremely raw and will cry when feeding them. To where it hurts my heart. When I take the kittens away to try n bottle feed them again she goes NUTS!! Tries to take them from me from whatever part she can get her mouth on. And if I try to separate them she cried all night (and I do mean ALLLL night!). I have tried giving them kitten food (they have teeny tiny razors in their mouth so I know they can eat!) But again they refuse to eat...anything! There are only 2 kittens left (the others were simply too week) n they r growing like weeds.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help Mouse! And myself...I love her so and I am proud of her for trying to help these babies but her being in ANY type of pain is hurting my heart.
Sorry for the length... Thank you for your help in advance.
