    5w Bottle Baby Not Transitioning To Wet Food

    Thank you so much. It's so hard to remember that the adorable behaviors we allow now will not be so adorable in 2 years...or 10... We will definitely heed your advice!

    Veterinary School Icu Vs. Local Vet Icu

    Us, too. We desperately wish the outcome was different, but if this is the way it had to go, we're glad it's over. He was such a sweet soul. He didn't deserve any of this.

    Veterinary School Icu Vs. Local Vet Icu

    Tiger didn't make it. We said the whole time that we didn't want to give up too soon, but we also didn't want to cruelly torture him. We were agonizing over finding the line. To that end, we wanted to follow his lead and fight only as long as he wanted to. He was holding his own yesterday...

    You can just look at her and tell how completely spoiled she is!

    Veterinary School Icu Vs. Local Vet Icu

    The details of this little guy's case are in my other post, but the short version is that he managed to crawl though our fence and get into our screened in porch Monday and waited for us to find him. No idea why he chose us to be his people, but he's so strong. He's such a fighter. It appears...

    Advice For Getting Support For A Gofundme

    This is something I've never done before. How do you go about getting a following for something like this? Do I need to change the description? Who should I share it with? Any other advice you can think of? We typically do not ask friends for financial help, but we can't be put into a position...

    5w Bottle Baby Not Transitioning To Wet Food

    So, it turns out that she's not averse to eating. She's averse to eating something we're not. She watched her daddy this morning, and then she climbed up and claimed his food (she has no idea how special she is that she was allowed to do that on his laptop!). I know we shouldn't let her eat that...

    5w Bottle Baby Not Transitioning To Wet Food

    She's up to 18.2 oz. Her last weight 11 days ago was 13 oz. Yes! We keep warning Loki that Jojo is built differently and will probably be stockier and heavier one day very soon! I don't see a problem with her teeth. We have an appt for her shots and a check up Friday. I'll have them look...

    5w Bottle Baby Not Transitioning To Wet Food

    They really are so precious even they're cuddling. Then Loki wakes up and beats the crap out of poor Jojo. I haven't weighed her in a few days. The scale I bought is very unreliable, but I'll check her when I get home. I've tried putting the food in her mouth, but she spits it back out. I...

    5w Bottle Baby Not Transitioning To Wet Food

    I've tried small bowls, shallow cat dishes, and small saucer sized plates with different brands and types of cat food, baby food, dry food mixed with water. Unless it's offered to her in the bottle, she's not interested. When the 9 week old wants to cuddle and sleep, she's all in. When it's...

    5w Bottle Baby Not Transitioning To Wet Food

    Here are a couple of photos to show how she looks. Her 9 week old sister in the background, who we adopted last week to keep the baby some company, is very much a typical kitten.

    5w Bottle Baby Not Transitioning To Wet Food

    We have a 5.5w bottle baby who was orphaned/abandoned at about 3 weeks. We started mixing a little wet food into her formula at 4 weeks. A couple of days later, we offered her some food- formula mix in a dish. She did great for 2 days, as long as we kept our fingers close to the food. Then she...

    Introducing 9w Baby To A 5w Bottle Baby

    She can easily eat from the little dish we've been giving her. She did great for the first couple of days. It's like she decided that she'd rather get snuggles and a bottle instead. We weren't planning on discontinuing the bottle completely until about 8 weeks, so we have plenty of time. At her...
