I don't have any tips but I do want to send you some get better vibes for the little furbaby!

Is there an emergency vet that you can contact? It sounds like she needs to be seen immediately! Could she have possibly eaten any toxic substance? How is she acting now?

No there is nothing she could have gotten into..and i have no way to get to an emergency vet
I have been trying to give her pedialyte...she swallows a little but most just trickles out of her mouth...she has a blank stare and is not really responding to me...its like she is just fading..I dont know if i can handle this...i have grown so attached to her ...my poor baby.....
Lorian

Is there an emergency vet that you can call for advice? Does your vet have an after hours number?

the animal hospital is closed...i called...
I think im going to try to call hissy...she is worse...
Lorien

Didn't know you had her number. Fantastic idea! Please let us know what she says (after you take care of your baby, of course) I'm really concerned!

I called the emergency clinic back and sone one answered the phone...
she yelled at me for giving her pedialyte and then said it is probably just blood sugar and to give her karo..
I cannot find hissy number...
lorien

How dare she yell at you during this crisis! I've read that these symptoms could be hypoglycemia! Do you have any Karo syrup? Too bad you can't get in touch with Hissy!

I gave her the Karo but no change...she just keeps getting worse...she cant walk well....and is very unresponsive...also acts like she cant swallow well...
I think that lady was mad because i was asking her questions over the phone...

How much were you able to get her to swallow? If it is hypoglycemia, she needs a certain amount in order to get her blood sugar up. Can you call the vet back to tell her this? Wow, I wish I was there!

the lady said to put some on my finger and put it on her tongue...i did this about 6 times...how much does she need?
Lorien

I just talked to the ASPCA Emergency Poison Control Dr. I'm at work and that's the only emer. # I had immed. She said if it is a hypoglycemic episode, rub the karo syrup on her gums..about 1/4-1/2 teaspoon. She should become more responsive within 5-10 minutes. Repeat as necessary. She advised taking her to the vet after one dose.I'm getting ready to leave work, and will be home in about an hour. Please let me know how she is doing. The ASPCA # is 1-888-426-4435 just in case. Maybe you could call your emer vet back.

If you still want to talk to Hissy, try sending airprincess a pm and let her know what is happening to this kitten. Airprincess is a friend of Hissy's, and as far as I know she has Hissy's number.

I hope this poor baby will be ok.

Hope you can get in touch with Hissy! I sure hope your baby is doing better!

OMG , I hope your baby is ok .

I will say a prayer for your kitten

Can you take a cab to the emergency clinic?

Lorien I am here now, check your PM's

dawn gave you the right thing to do. How is the kitten now? Is there no neighbor that can provide transport to an Animal ER Clinic? This kitten really needs to be seen by a vet.

She got worse as the night went on ..i tried the karo again and again...finally i saod some long prayers and covered her up and went to bed...i was sure she was almost gone.
When i woke up this morning ...i heard the sweetest sound...a very small meow!!!!!!!!! she was bright eyed and bushy tailed!! Thank the Lord!!
she played for awhile and ate and now she is sleeping
Thank youa ll for being concerned.....
and thanx for calling the aspca dawnofsierra...
Lorien

YEAH!!!:flash: What a relief! The ASPCA was just the best thing I could come up with at the time..I was so concerned! Sorry you had such a rough night. Wonder what was wrong? Bet she's laughing to herself today. "Sure had them fooled, did you see how much attention I got just for acting sick!" You know it may still be a good idea to take her to the vet just in case, or at least see what your vet thinks about it. I'm so happy she's OK! Thanks for the update!
