All of the kittens got sick. I have one now that is losing weight. He is all stuffed up. He tries to eat but dont think he is getting anything. I tried feeding him with a syringe and he goes crazy and refuses it completely. I dont know what to do. The mom is finally better. This is day...

Im so sorry for your kitten loss.

I just got back from the vet. I brought the mom who seems slightly better today and one of the kittens. The kitten meows all the time like hes hungry and will not eat. He has been coughing and stuffed up. They gave him some fluids and told me to up the antibiotic slightly. I have tried to...

Yes the kitten should return soon. Although now the mom is sick. I started the mom and the 5 other kittens on an antibiotic 2 days ago. The poor moms eyes are so watery, she looks miserable. I know she is struggling but also still taking such good care of her babies. I am hoping the...

I found the same info. The kitten was moved to another home with someone who can offer more care and so other cats around. I just noticed today that the moms eyes are watery like she is crying and one of the babies is sneezing a little bit. I hope they are all not coming down with something.

I am the foster for a young cat and her 6 babies- they are about 3 weeks old. One of them has been coughing for about a week. I couldnt tell which one it was until today. He is coughing and sounds like he has the croup, like a bark. I called the vet but cannot bring him in until tomorrow...

Yes they are doing great. I have weighed them every few days and they are all gaining. I spoke to my vet today and she told me what to look for. I will keep a close eye on them. thanks

i have a new litter of 6 that I am fostering. I noticed a few of the kittens will pant. 15-20 seconds at a time. It’s not overly warm in their room, 68-70 degrees. They are all gaining weight and seem content. Is this something to worry about?

I cleaned her ears with coconut oil for a few days and got some ear drops from the rescue. She is much happier now. The poor girl was miserable. Her ears look so much better.

Its called Derma-Vet Ointment. The website says not to give it to pregnant or nursing cats, so unless the vet says to do it I wouldnt chance it.

I havent done anything yet except clean it out with coconut oil and vinegar. I have only had the cat and kittens for 2 days. Ive been busy making sure the kittens are ok and the mom is comfortable. I will call my vet tomorrow.

This is the best picture I can get. Shes such a good little girl.

I have asked the rescue, they wanted to wait until the kittens are old enough to be separated for a period of time. I disagreed and said that we need to do something sooner. I am going to do what I can at home until we go to the vet. I also have some leftover medicine from when my dog had...

I have a new foster cat and her 6 kittens in my house. I noticed her ears are totally black and gunky. I did some research and think its mites. I made a mixture of apple cider vinegar and coconut oil and put it in with a syringe. She went crazy scratching and shaking her head. I rubbed her...

Success today

Im wondering if it smells funny. I used it for my last litter. Do I need a new litter box for each new kitty?

I left dry food out and she has eaten almost 4 cans of wet food today. They are in our guest room. The food is in the bathroom and the litter is on the other side of the bedroom from her bedding. She knows where it is but not using it. Maybe I should move it closer to her and the kittens.

I received a new litter of kittens last night from a rescue. There are 6 kittens, 6 days old and a very young thin mom. The mom is very friendly, and very attentive to the babies. They are doing great. I am a little worried about her though. I set up food and litter for her. She has been...

9 Kitten and mom update As of last night all 10 kitties have been fixed and are in their new homes. The last 2 went last night together. They were an awesome litter. I was totally over my head but keep trudging along every day. I am blessed to have this wonderful experience. Its a sad day...
