Hi Everyone,
I fostered Tori at just 5 days from my son. The mother cat's milk dried up. He took them both to the vet and they said she would need feed by bottle or syringe from then on. They gave her subcutaneous fluids and antibiotics slow release. She only weighed 110 grams
To try and cut this as short as possible. We had her in a canvas crate next to our bed and fed her every 2 hours for 2 weeks. At first she would only take 2 mil in a syringe. Anyway we progressed onto a bottle and was feeding her every 3 hours then onto 4. She suffered bad from constipation. We changed her formula and that helped ease that problem. She is now 1 kilo.
Tori is now in the main part of the house with all of us. She uses her litter tray well. I started with a open one but she now uses the enclosed one well.
I have a Golden Retriever 11 years, A male Tibetan Spaniel 6 years and a female Tibetan Spaniel 5 years she is rather timid. They all have been around cats before a couple of years back with no issues.
Tori jumps up to our male and he just turns away and the Golden she leaves alone "Too big for her just yet"
The past 10 days or so she has been rearing up at Echo our 5 year old female Tibetan Spaniel and she is now terrified to be in the same room as the kitten. Echo will not stand up to her.
I know how to introduce cats and dogs etc but am stuck with this problem. IWe play with her she has many toys to chase, lasers etc.
We are at our wits end. I had to resort to giving the dog half a valium for 2 nights.
I have thought of moving Tori into the laundry at night. Anyway any advice would be a great help. Thank you
