I'm really glad to be able to share this experience with everyone. Thanks for all your responses!

Sweet little piggies!!

Becky has five total now. Yes, Cleo's three month-old kittens are in with them. I tried taking them out but Becky went and retrieved them, brought them back. Everyone seems to be getting along an all are doing well!

Still just the one kitten so far. It's going on 2am, I'm going to be hitting the bed here soon. Camera will be running all night though and I have someone watching who will call me if anything comes up. I know she has more in there! Shaun is doing very well. =)

First kitten, 9:35 PM. 107g - think it's a female. Not sure if she's calico or just black and white yet.

Looks like Becky has gone into labor, there's spotting in the cage an I've seen a couple large contractions. Tonight may be the night!! Watch along with me: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/fondas...ngs-kitten-cam

Yes, he has FCKS. His flattened chest has pushed his elbows out, so he is unable to lift himself up enough to get his back legs under him. After this weekend, I will be taping his ankles under him like so: http://www.ramesescats.co.uk/page14/...4/page104.html I tried putting a brace on him to...

Me too, looking forward to finally meeting these guys. =)

Thanks, all! Off-air for the night, I'll resume it in the morning. If you check in and it's off-air during the day, just check back in a bit, sometimes the connection chokes but it usually connects again on its own.

Someone mentioned a webcam in another thread - I happen to have one. Cleo's kittens are now live at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/fondas...ngs-kitten-cam. I JUST set that page up so I have some settings to adjust, but I have a bunch of errands to run so will get to it later today. Hopefully...

I would take care of the earmites soon because you don't want the kittens to get them. Revolution is safe for pregnant and nursing cats and will get rid of earmites as well as worms and fleas. You'll have to get it from a vet's office and it is on the expensive side, but it will be better than...

Thanks for posting that, I think I may try making a brace for Shaun. They will be three weeks old this weekend which was one of the thresholds mentioned in that article, so it seems his chances already are somewhat good having made it this long...

Just as I thought that everything that could go wrong with Cleo's litter already had, we got a new problem. Two of the kittens had started using their back legs, standing up and even walking, but Shaun's back legs remained flat and splayed out like a seal's flukes. I started trying to massage...

Becky today:

Thanks, everyone. No new pics since their eyes have just opened (they are heartbreakingly cute, however). I will get a pic of Becky and her belly though. I wanted to dose Becky with the Zithromax too so I could knock any infection out of her before her litter is born, but I was told that...
