Just thought I would check in and let you know everyone is doing fabulous! Tiniest baby who was 1.8 oz on day 2 is now up to 2.4 oz. all are nursing well, mama is eating and drinking like a champ. No more sub q fluids for her. Thank you all for the support! ❤️❤️

So far so good. Mama is starting to eat more and drinking the kitten formula. Just worried as they are sooooo tiny. Largest is 2.4 oz and smallest is 1.8 oz. but they are sucking away

Mama seems to be providing enough and they are all latched on. Some of her nipples will not produce anything but others are. Is that normal? I know usually the suckling will help get things moving ...... but it’s just not working on some. Luckily there are three kittens and eight nipples

Had vet tech come to house and feeding tubes are too large. She said kittens are VERY tiny. Mama is not producing a lot but seems to be enough for the three she has. I am heading to shelter to get supplies to feed just in case I need them. I have KMR but my bottle nipples are too big for...

She had a fifth one 3 hours after the others which cane every 20 minutes. I did my best but it was stillborn as well. I’m so sad 😞 2 of the 3 are latched on, struggling with the third but she’s trying. Mama ate two of the placentas and kittens were cleaned.

We have kittens! 4 kittens, One stillborn and no luck reviving 😞 mama does not appear to be producing milk ...... I feel another challenge coming on

Antibiotic starting today. Good news is ...... she actually went to food and water today. Did not have much, but ate a few nibbles of food on her own and drank a tiny bit of water ..... and those babies are having a disco party inside!! Feeling a slight bit of relief

Not sure about the raw goats milk ..... will have to check into that. I believe antibiotic is next on the list. She did well with her sub q this morning. More messy poops .... poor little butt

She was not happy about getting the syringed food, but she took it ok. Still showing no interest in food or water. She is on a five day treatment of panazuril for the coccidia. She had another small watery bloody poop last night. Still purrs as soon as I start petting her and babies are...

One more round of Sub Q fluids, giving her some ID food in syringe. She has just slept all day. Babies are still very active. Day 2 of 5 for treating coccidia. I hope I can sleep tonight 😞

She was a little restless this morning and got up to change blankets she was laying on ..... a few meows this morning which is not like her.... so hoping this is all because she is close to ready. She starts purring as soon as you pet her

Laying in bed .... keeping an eye on my foster, soon to be mama.... waiting and worrying as she hasn’t felt well today

She was given sub q fluids this morning and will go back tomorrow for another round if needed ..... but doing the check by pulling up at back of neck to see if it returns quickly, she appears to be ok. I just returned from shelter again.... messy poops may be coccidia so she was given meds, and...

So I have been fostering for a couple years now for a local shelter and I have gotten my first pregnant cat. I have had her for about a week and a half now. All was well, happy kitty. Such a love. She all of a sudden stopped eating and drinking yesterday afternoon, I assumed we were getting...
