Hello cat friends. Happy update. All is well and little Jack is fully recovered and has gained back all the weight he has lost and then some! I still don’t know what caused it. I have been cleaning as much as possible but honestly if it was giardia or Coccidia I know I haven’t been able to...

They were 31 days old when symptoms started. 17 days old when they went to the temp foster

Ahh. Well…. When I agreed to foster the pregnant mama ( I’ve named her Delilah but should change it to dharma) I told them I was going away for 4 days in September. They lined up a temporary foster who wound up with them for 8 days due to conflicts. 6 days after I got them back 4 of them...

Yes. I was a huge “Lost” fan. His siblings are Claire, Kate, Hurley and Sawyer. I thought of Coccidia for mom as she’s had diarrhea since I’ve gotten her. Deworming for 3 days 3 times would have taken care of giardia? I’ve read it does. I don’t know anymore… I’ve done sooooo much research but...

Jack is still with us… still not gaining or losing. I’m no expert but I think mom has Coccidia. And has had it since I’ve gotten her. Idk what the vet did for her but….. I think I’m done… with this rescue anyway. I’ve had hard cases before but this is breaking me. I’ve asked them to take her...

He’s not pooped today. I haven’t caught him urinating either. He hasn’t nursed since last night so I pulled him. He has no problem with his breathing. I don’t think he’s aspirated anything. He’s on a heat source with everything he needs in there. I’ve been syringing 1 ml of baby food an hour...

Ty for your kind words. I think it’s too late. I can’t get ANYTHING into him. I can’t even be with him. He wants nothing to do with me and I do t want to make him feel worse. He was crying in pain loudly 20 minutes ago. I can’t comfort him. I’m so upset and angry right now. He’s suffering. He’s...

Unfortunately the rescue is the one that can contact the vet and I don’t know what’s going on with them as they are not responsive to me in the last few days. I’m just trying to keep this kitten alive but at this point I don’t think I can. Crying as I’m writing this

Okay. Advice please. I feel I may be doing too much/not enough. If one kitten has coccidia don’t they all get it? same for guardia? Sawyer has put on weight AND he is eating gruel. Jack is still losing and having diarrhea. Day 7 of metro. He’s still nursing multiple times a day but not...

Can I mix Fortiflora with pedialyte? I would try to get some into him?

Back to white poop diarrhea today and this morning he wouldnt take the syringe mixture.

Hello. Quick update. “Jack” is behaving much more kitten like today. More importantly his poop is a normal color and has a little consistency. Plus he’s put a tiny bit of weight back on. Next problem is that there is blood in it. Not a lot. Any ideas? Day 6 of metro. Little “Sawyer” is...

Stays quo today. Not gaining nor losing. Wondering if I should take the chance and separate from mom…..has had 4 days of metro. Syringing once a day the baby food,karo and Fortiflora mixture.

Update: the babies are holding their own. Not losing weight but not gaining. “Jack” is still pooping abnormally but both Jack and Sawyer are acting like normal kittens which is great. Gave them both the concoction of Karo, chicken baby food and Fortiflora. Bad news is that I am an epic...

Oh dear. I hope that’s not it. I’ve researched it many times and honestly looks like most kittens don’t make it Moms back story: I was asked to take her heavily pregnant and the kittens dad. Supposedly they were bonded but “Samson” went for adoption. Supposedly they were sent to a pet sitter...
