I agreed to foster two 7 day old kittens on Tues. A boy and a girl. We named them Moogle and Minna. Shortly after I got them they developed liquid diarrea. Nothing I did seemed to help. Yesterday I took them both to my vet. He said they had roundworms. He gave me antibiotics and wormer for them both. He said that otherwise they were in good health, and weren't dehydrated. Their weight was good for 10 day kittens. Moogle at 7oz and Minna at 6.
Early this morning one of the kittens died without warning. It was Minna. She never got weak or cried or anything like that. She was eating a bit less but that was the only warning sign. I'm feeling guilty and freaked. I'd just fed her about 4 hours before and she seemed strong and energetic. I'm scared I will lose Moogle too now. He isn't showing any signs of fading but I'm still scared since she didn't either. I guess I'm just looking for people who've been through something similar with a foster kitty. And any suggestions on how to prevent it with Moogle.
Edit:This is Moogle...
