Are my kittens' incisions infected?

That's good. Thank you. Update us when you can!

Ok

The vet won't help sadly. But the triple anitbiotic ointment has helped alot.

What do you mean the vet won't help?

There should be a follow-up exam included.

What did they say?

They said that they couldn't tell me a price that it was mostly going to be $100 each. And my family and I just don't have the money my mom lost her job back in February do to a car accident and being injured. And I can't get a ridea because the car got totaled. So we have just barely been able to pay the bills and still get what is need for food and the what the kittens need. So we just don't have the money.

But I gave the kittens a bath today and there stitches are looking better but not held.

this is shadow and the realy pale part you see is just her skin

I am sorry to hear of your family's misfortunes. I am sorry the vet is not able to conduct a follow-up exam also. Is it the same vet who spayed the kittens?

Please continue to keep an eye on the incisions.

I have put a cut sock over all three of there stitches after I put the triple anitbiotic ointment on them and they have impoved a lot

Yes it's the same vet and I am doing all I can to wach then every three hours I put more triple anitbiotic ointment on them. But they seem to be getting better and my mom has found so infection meds that are ment for blatter infections and so we have startedin them that have been proven to work on animals. We areally only giving them 25th so we'll see how there doing tomorrow.

It sure sounds like you are doing everything in your power to help the incisions heal, and hopefully your efforts will pay off and everything will be fine.

Keep us updated on their progress!

You said the wounds were not closed, I had the idea of using steri strips (can be purchased over the counter) just to keep them closed so more germs don't get in. Sarthur2 would that be okay to do?

Are you able to surrender the kittens to a shelter?

I don't think steri-strips would  work - the fur would prevent them from sticking properly and shaving the area now would be a really bad idea. 

Its good to hear that things are improving. Just be hyper-vigilant, and be aware that if things go backwards you may have no choice but to seek veterinary treatment.   that they continue to heal well 

Columbine thank you I will remember that!

Thank you for the help I will keep everyone updated please pray for thme to get well soon thank you.

No I can't give them to a shelter. None in my area will take cats unless it's to put them down. So no I can't do that.

Its clear you care very much for these kittens, and are trying to do the right thing. Hopefully they'll heal up nicely soon so you can stop worrying.

It might be an idea to start a vet fund for them though. At some point one of them is bound to need something treating. I know you're on a tight budget, but even small amounts add up over time. Any amount will be of some help

A vet fund is a fantastic advice. I know how you feel P peekaboodusk - I'm a college student and I don't have a "big girl job" yet, but I try to set aside some money from each check. Not an easy thing to do when you live paycheck to paycheck but you would be surprised how it adds up. You could also look around for a different vet. My vet was very up front with me about costs of individual cares and treatments, and this allows me to make plans for how much I should have saved up and at what time. Your kitties are in my prayers!

Thank you and yes I will start setting money aside. But there's not a hole lot I can do to get money. I am only 14 years old and I have a job pet sitting. This year I was sopost to start working at MC'donalds but when the car crash happened that want out the window. So I do everything I can in my town to get money.
