We all went to the vet on their advice. First kitten was impossible to save, unfortunately it was more than just his intestines outside. I made the most humane decision to PTS :( meg was given an injection of oxytocin and told to go home and wait. 3rd kitten was born in car on way home. Healthy :) thank you everyone xxx

They're so cute.

I'm sorry about the first little guy.  I'm glad the vet was able to see you right away even if s/he wasn't able to help.  Try to get some rest today.

The weights are okay. Hopefully they'll nurse well and gain quickly. RIP little one. He enjoyed warmth, food, and his mom before crossing over. It was for the best. Poor baby. Thank you for getting him quickly to the vet so that he did not suffer.

Try to get some rest and let us know how mom and babies are later.

Rest is impossible with my two boys. An early night is a must though! Meg still hasnt eaten (has wet, dry and water available), she did eat 2 afterbirths though so not too worried. Xx

No, she's not hungry. She'll eat later when she is. You've had a big time of it!

I'm so sorry about the one you lost, but you did the best for him. It was a long, anxious night for you. Please get some sleep now.

Those are good weights! They should ideally double their birth weights by the end of the first week. [emoji]128522[/emoji]
