Good vibes & prayers being sent your way...hope the little girl gets better!!
Well i might have jinxed things a little bit...Mamma is having some bad diarrhea and isn't eating much, and annabelle's sister abigail is suffering from the coccidia now too. I'm supplementing both of them and keeping my fingers crossed that the pills start to work.Originally Posted by leesali
I was too excited.....had to post! Annabelle has regained the oz she lost!!
What a cutie!! Glad she seems to be doing better & gained some weight. Hoping she is on her way to a week of plumping up!!
I just hydrated the one who is vomiting and has diarrhea. I only got about 5ccs into before he started fighting me off so i put him back with mom in the hopes he would have the energy to feed. I also just got off the phone with the rescue and they are making me a vet appointment.Originally Posted by FamilytimeRags
No, it is from the coccidia itself, I would assume. Most kittens can experience vomitting and diarrhea.
How is the babies weight doing? More importantly are they staying hydrated?
I can't remember now how many days of treatment they have had yet, but I would call and find out if there should have more of an improvement yet. You can find out if they feel it is necessary, to change medications, or to just wait for the medicine to work.
You have done a have great job with the babies. You are still in my thoughts, please keep me updated.
EDIT: I also want to say, that with both the vomitting, and the diarrhea, they can become dehydrated very, very quickly, and go down hill fast.
Thanks for the hugs...i am exhausted (mostly mentally from worrying). You get so attached so quickly. Would you recommend bringing in momma and the kittens or leaving mom behind. She's pretty skittish and libel to not be friendly with a vet. Will she be ok with them when they get back?Originally Posted by FamilytimeRags
It is going to be okay. You have done great by keeping a close eye and keeping them hydrated.
I know how you are feeling. ((Hugs)) Hang in there!! I am sure you have had very little sleep over the past few days, and you must feel exhausted.
The vet will be able to reassess the kittens, and things will hopefully get easier soon.
