I have a new litter of kittens to bottlefeed, from two seperate sources. A total of 4 kittens, 2-3 weeks old.
Two of the kittens are severely underweight, and 2 of them are average size but suddenly started dropping.
One of them is on medicine for a bacterial infection that is causing her to have bloody diarrhea. She was found abandoned in a house after the tenants moved out, and had been without food for at least 24 hours before being found. She was half dead when I got her 4 days ago, she is the white and grey pictured below. I have named her Spirit.
She was so badly infested with fleas that she had to have a flea bath, the vet used flea drops after the bath, and she had to have an iron supplement to get her blood and iron levels back up.
The other three kittens are coming today. They need bottle feeding to make sure they thrive, one of the litter (it used to be 4) passed away from Failure to Thrive already. They are on dewormers for two different types of worms.
My question is, with the different health issues these babies have, will it be safe to put Spirit in with the other three? Or should I keep them seperate?
