What should I do??

hmckinney · Apr 25, 2016

yeah, i think so. he's having a rough time breathing.

i rubbed a washcloth all over his mama for her scent and wrapped him up in it.

he was really restless until i did that and now he's pretty quiet.

poor lil guy just wants to be near his mama.

Will mama let him be close for his final moments? This is sad. [emoji]128546[/emoji]

hmckinney · Apr 25, 2016

she was beside him for a little while, licked him and let him crawl on her for a minute. but then she hopped out of the box. he was curled up in the washcloth next to his siblings for his final moments. lil guy is gone now.

i remembered i caught some cute pics of him from a few days ago:

RIP lil guy.

I'm so sorry. At least you comforted him at the end. He looked like a sweetie! [emoji]128149[/emoji][emoji]128062[/emoji]

How are the remaining kittens doing?

I'm so sorry he didn't make it. Hugs to you.

hmckinney · Apr 25, 2016

thanks @sarthur2 + @handsome kitty

the others are doing really well! everyone's nursing on mom and growing. i noticed some of them nurse on mom in their sleep, haha.

Sarthur2 · Apr 25, 2016

Mom becomes sort of a pacifier! I'm sure it's cute! [emoji]127868[/emoji]

hmckinney · Apr 25, 2016

hey guys, shay just threw up some white foam. should i be worried?

Sarthur2 · Apr 25, 2016

Mom did? What has she been eating?

hmckinney · Apr 25, 2016

No, one of the lil kittens.

Sarthur2 · Apr 25, 2016

Hmm. Sounds like milk from an upset tummy. I'd wait and see if it happens again. Is she otherwise nursing and acting okay?

hmckinney · Apr 25, 2016

yeah, she nursed maybe an hour ago, and i haven't noticed her being lethargic or anything.

okay, i'll keep an eye out for it again.

Sarthur2 · Apr 25, 2016

Yes, let us know if it happens again. She might need a drop or two of mylicon, which is baby simethicone to help with gas.

hmckinney · Apr 25, 2016

okay, it happened again. she didn't nurse this time around when the rest of them did. i gave her some pedialyte.

mylicon? can i buy that in a store?

hmckinney · Apr 25, 2016

i actually got a surprise refund today so i'm going to take the babies to the vet tomorrow!

Sarthur2 · Apr 25, 2016

Yes, usually in a grocery, pharmacy, or Walmart baby aisle. It's gas drops.

Refund - woo hoo! Vet is a good idea. It could be a digestive problem, or simple reflux. I hope the vet can help. Let us know what happens. I hate for you to lose another baby! [emoji]128528[/emoji]

hmckinney · Apr 25, 2016

yeah me too.

esp the one that looks like fuzzybutt!

okay, i'll go get some of that rn. do you think i should try to feed her formula between now and tomorrow?

Sarthur2 · Apr 25, 2016

Yes, if she won't nurse. I'd mix it with pedialyte instead of water. Honey on her gums if she's lethargic. But just feed 1-2 mL's at a time. See how she does. Don't force too much. And careful she doesn't aspirate it into her lungs.

hmckinney · Apr 25, 2016

okay, got it

i gave her some mylicon and some more pedialyte. no more foam since she last spit up, so hoping the mylicon gives her some relief.

Sarthur2 · Apr 25, 2016

Great! Hoping it helps settle her tummy too. I also hope she will go back to nursing mom. Keep me posted! Thanks! [emoji]128522[/emoji]
