That is such a good idea!!! I will suggest this to my family!

Sorry to not provide an update on the kittens in the last two days, I had really nothing of consequence to report. We went to the shelter yesterday (Monday) afternoon. Cheeky's kittens got their first vaccinations and we gave Momma Cheeky back. She has not been nursing and has almost no mammary...

Some good news with the bad- I was finally able to successfully administer some LRS! The shelter coordinator was able to find a staff member who would monitor all night. We talked with her for a long time and she took both of our bottle babies to her house. She works at 8a, will contact us if...

Unfortunately, I arrived home to a sick little Red. I'm contacting the shelter and they're so useless. They've told.me.to force.feed and give lactated ringer solution subcutaneously. I can't get the lactated ringers in this time, the fluid dribbled out around my needle. They're trying to find...

Im so sorry! 0.15 ml of Panacur!!! It really is a tiny dosage. I apologise.

Thank you for the suggestion! I looked up the recipes and had every intent to make one, however it hasn't been needed- kittens are once again happily eating. Unfortunately, I am still finding diarrhea in the litter box, which I know must be coming from one of the two remaining kittens (Little...

@Norachan , @StefanZ ... Or any others who can close this thread . T_T

Nevermind, we don't need an answer- Whatever happened, we must have overloaded their poor little system. Breathing stopped completely and formula /honey dribbled from her nose continuously. It was a quick decline, but she was putting up a fight with us just a few minutes before... * I...

We have ANOTHER KITTEN in distress. We caught it early this time and have been giving honey slightly watered down and formula evey few minutes We just noticed a rattly sound in his lungs. Did he aspirate the forced in food? What should I do? Its 3 am on Sunday morning in rural Wisconsin.

Hello, As you may know if you've been reading my prior forums postings, I am fostering for my local animal shelter. I took in a litter of kittens who I've been bottle feeding since September 5th. They were in the process of opening their eyes when we brought them home after their mother was...

All of the bottle babies are freakin' loving to teeth on the dry kitten kibble, and two of them dove into the pate food that was offered to them!!! Yay! Unfortunately, our smallest one (Blue) has shown no interest in the pate. Today at lunch time I lined momma's kennel with a used blankie from...

@catwoman707 I am very curious about this lack of wanting to eat that occurs between 3-4 weeks. I'm handrearing a litter about this age, and lost the runt to FKS over the weekend. Can you direct me to any forums about force feeding /relunctant bottle babies?

Hello! I searched via topic and through all of September's postings, but haven't found an answer to my dilemma... I have a small litter (3) of bottle baby kittens, aproximately 3 weeks old. They're no longer content to eat and sleep, but instead have been showing lots of confidence walking and...

I'm sorry to hear about your losses, but am amazed at your resolve. Thank you for the determination you have shown and please try to find moments of joy and calm for yourself.

Thank you to everyone who shared their well wishes out loud or privately. We ultimately received permission for euthanasia from our shelter organization. Little White briefly perked up on Sunday, choosing a cozy spot, purring, and cleaning his face/paws. Unfortunately, shortly after this he...
