Keiko needs some vibes!!!

Thankyou for your words of encouragement everyone! The kittens are sound asleep at the moment. . They're due for another feeding in a while. I'll try to get some pictures of them eithor tonight or tomorrow- they look pretty aweful...but I suppose I should take a before picture- so that as they improve, I can compare them . Thankyou everyone for keeping up with this amazing little guy's story. He's such a sweet kitten! He ate a good bit earlier...and seems to be keeping it down fairly well so that's encouraging- still no walking yet or control over his bowels. Hopefully that will improve soon. Kenzie's stomach settled down from earlier and she hasn't been sick since- so that's great too. I'll keep everyone posted!

(((((hugs)))))

Thanks for the hugs!!

Wow, I'm glad they seem to be picking up. What a terrible infection. A good thing you have a vet that checked that out.

I swear!!!! I can't win for loosing . Kenzie (keiko's sis) just threw up everwhere again!!! My poor baby! I cleaned her up and disinfected her bedding. Now i'm doing yet another load of kitten laundry..../ I wish these poor babies would start to feel better. I just gave her a ton of pedialyte after this happened to give her extra electrolites. My poor furbabies are soo ill. This makes me soo sad sometimes- i hate to watch them go through this. She's vomiting as a result of the Albon.....so theoretically- it's cleaning out the coccidia from her system- it's just pittaful to watch the process. I'm doing everything I can to keep them hydrated. The vets said this was normal and not to worry- so i'm trying not to- but it's frusterating. I have her wrapped up in a blanket with me on the couch now. She's asleep...I hope she gets better soon. Keiko is snuggled up asleep in his cage at the moment- earlier he crawled with his front legs all the way from one end of the playpen to the other (i had him in there to stimulate him a bit and hopefully strengthen his back legs. ). If anyone can spare some vibes for little Kenzie right now they'd be very appreciated!!!! My poor babies just aren't doing well. I hope tomorrow is a better day for them.

Vibes headed your way most defintely !!! Poor babies and poor you, too .....!!!! Just keep hanging in there

Thanks Pam! I really need vibes or something....humm...maybe sleep??? lol. The kittens are asleep for right now. I'm going to wake them up in a minute and feed them and medicate them before I get some sleep. I've had "Rebel Yell" stuck in my head all day- I think i need to just play it out on my guitar and get it out of my head before bed lol. Thankyou for the vibes!!! I appreciate it.

(By the way- i love the little picture movie you have for your kitties- i clicked on it under your siggy to distract myself- VERY CUTE!!!!!)

Just a quick update- Both babies are looking better this morning!!!!

That's good....
Lots of healing vibes on the way for those sweetie pies.

Thank you ....

I'm glad to hear Keiko and his sister are doing better. I'll keep sending vibes your way.

Just checking in on you, Keiko and Kenzie ........I read where you were considering going to the hospital .... certainly hope you are feeling better !!! Give us an update on the babies ..........

I hope that both of your tiny babies are doing better, I'll be thinking about you all!!

Just an update: Kenzie is a bunndle of fire today lol and is feeling much better. She's playing with everything and is back to her normal little sassy pants antics . Keiko looks a bit better too He's crawling everywhere and hopefully will regain strength in his back legs to start walking again soon! Both are eating a ton and gaining weight . I'm still having a bit of an issue keeping Keiko's bottom clean- since he can't walk- he can't get in the litter pan or out of it....so i have pee pee pads in his carrier to help with the mess and I try to clean him off everytime he uses the bathroom- but sometimes it's easy to miss....so I'm having issues keeping his bottom clean. I clean him off everytime I have him out (which is a lot)...I've been using very gentle baby wipes. However, since he has had no control over his bowels...the urin/feces is irritating his skin on his bottoms- and to make matters worse- the ringworm issues doesn't help! So I called the vet and asked what I should put on it to help him and he said Tucks pads were safe to use on his bottom for now and to keep using the ringworm meds too.- so thankfully, that seems to be helping him . Hopefully he will start walking soon!!! If you sweet folks don't mind- Keiko sure could use some "walking" vibes today! Thankyou everyone!

This sounds a lot like what my Scooter went through. He was a bottle baby and seemed to be thriving until he was weaned and put on regular food. The first thing we noticed was he was a little wobbly which escalated to him being unable to walk and being unable to pee and poop without stimulation. The vet diagnosed him with rickets and possibly neurological problems. Then he started having seizures. It took a long time for the correct diagnosis but he ended up having a portosystemic shunt. I doubt your kitty has this as it is very rare in cats but if he doesn't start getting better you might consider getting him tested for it. Good luck and I hope he starts improving.

That is definitely a possible scenario- if he doesn't improve i will most definitely ask the vet about it. We however are definite that it was a seizure because I witnessed it several times. However, there could also be more issues and damage with that though- so thankyou for your story! I will ask the vet this week about it . I just had the kittens out playing a minutes ago....they're soo sweet! I just snapped a ton of cute pictures of them- so i will start a new thread in the fur pictures section in a little while for them

I just posted a new little thread of pictures I took of Keiko & Kenzie !!!
Check um out! They're dolls!!!!

I just caught up on Keiko and Kenzie. Here's some major {{{{get better}}}} and {{{start walking}}} vibes for Keiko. The poor little guy- he's been through so much. It's good to hear that Kenzie is apparently on the mend and back to her sassy self.

It's amazing what you are doing for these babies. Your love and dedication are obvious. And dealing with your own medical problems has to add to the stress. Hang in there and keep up the good work.

Thankyou! I really appreciate that. I go back to the doctor tomorrow after class so i'm definitely NOT looking foward to that . It's a necessary evil i suppose lol. / It is soo nice to have the love and support of everyone on TCS . Kenzie is definitely back to her sassy self- would someone please inform her that she is NOT royalty!!!! Goodness! She's only a few weeks old and is already making her demands known. She's sitting up here with me at the moment perched on my shoulder like a little parrot- what a cutie! . Keiko is sound asleep in his carrier with his stuffed animal and his favorite little mouse toy. I really hope he starts walking again soon. I've been doing little exercises on his legs that the vet showed me to help strengthen them...i've also had him out on different surfaces to get him used to rolling over and strengthening his muscles- seems to be working- he's looking much better today. I posted some cute pictures of them in the fur pictures thread if you want to check them out!

Adding {{{prayers and vibes}}}} for Keiko, and for Kenzie, and for you - I will be thinking of you tomorrow, and hope that the docs can help you become healthy again - your babies need you so much! And I look forward to reading your posts
