I wonder if I should reach out to the people who adopted her siblings to let them know that their kittens probably carry herpesvirus? None of the others ever showed any symptoms - and I am a bit of a worrywort so I was checking them constantly. If it's that common maybe it's not a big deal...

Kitty had her checkup today and the vet said she likely has feline herpesvirus. Her eye is looking a lot better but apparently this is a lifelong thing and can have flareups. After looking it up it seems like it is pretty common - do any of you all have experience with this? Also the adoptee...

Thank you all for your advice. I will talk to them about having the males spayed before allowing my girl to go home to her. If she isn't able to drive out of town for any reason I'll just hold on to kitty until she is spayed and hopefully the new owner will be willing to wait for her.

Well I told the owner the earliest she could be adopted is Tuesday but only if she is cleared by my vet. This kitty has conjuctivits that I've been treating for over a month. When her treatment was initially completed, her little eye swelling came right back so the vet put her back on her eye...

I am rehoming kittens of a a pregnant stray kitty I found earlier this year (she is now spayed). I think I've found a good home for the last kitten, but the owner also has two young male kittens. I'm not sure of their exact age but she said they are close in age to my kitten or a little...

Thank you so much! I will try the boiled chicken and eggs too. She declined canned chicken and canned tuna so far but I'm willing to try all the things just to get her to fatten up a bit. I finally got her to sit on the scale today and she was about 6.2 lbs. When we went to the vet last...

Thank you so much, I'm glad to hear that this might be somewhat common. Mommy has been getting formula for the last week already - is there a rule of thumb how much she should be getting? Does brand of formula matters? I was using this because it was the only thing locally available, but I...

I'm not sure if this should be another thread, but I'm having some troubles with mommy now. I called the vet this morning and explained the issue but they said they can't help as they have no openings today. I do have an appointment for next Wednesday but I'm worried that isn't soon enough...

I did try calling the vet back but was on hold for 30-45 min both times before I had to get back to work. But no more orange poops since then yet and her eyes have cleared up too. No more days of weight loss either - she's up to 531 grams! Fingers crossed all stays well. Here's a recent...

I brought the first poop to the vet when I went there. I haven't heard from them yet. I was thinking of calling them back today to give them an update but I know they are so busy all the time. It's really hard to get a hold of them since their phone is always busy and VM is always full. I'll...

Update: Friday evening found another orange smear, and Saturday watched the same kitty in question poop out a little pile of orange poo. I should have taken a picture right away but was more concerned about getting it cleaned up before the gang went tromping through it. I do have a picture...

I haven't gotten a call from the doctor yet - hopefully no news is good news. The appointment was with a vet tech since they had no doctor available the day I went in. No new diarrhea or anything that I've seen since that first episode. Kitten was a bit lethargic on Wednesday and didn't...

sorry for all of the messages. i wanted to say by 'mustard colored poop' i mean like poor people mustard, not like grey poupon. so it was like neon yellow. lol. ok anyways, will update again if anything changes. thank you again for the support i am so so thankful!!

Just before we left for the vet found a mustard colored stain on the bedding, also brought a pic of this to the vet. Went to the vet, no fever (yay!), though lots of orange goop during that thermometer check..yuck. She weighed 15oz at the vet check-in this afternoon so she gained back quite a...

Of course I get everything prepped and then she wakes up and starts to feed from mom. Fine by me though, as long as she is eating! I'll be ready to step in again when needed. In the meantime I reviewed my kitty cam from this morning and I noticed something else. This morning when I came in...

Thank you, i got powdered formula and unflavored pedialyte during my lunch break, just got back now. The smallest needleless syringe I could find is 3mL, hopefully ok. I do have miracle nipples - just realized they are knockoffs but hopefully good enough. Will keep you all posted. Thank...

OK I AM WORRIED AGAIN!!! I just weighed her (had morning work meetings so had to wait til 1030) and she is only 400 grams this morning!! Called the vet and they don't have a doctor in today but they said the techs will do their best, earliest appointment is late afternoon. I also found a...

Oh and I won't be keeping them unfortunately. I've already adopted another stray cat this year and I have another kitty already too. I got mom vaccinated earlier this year and she has a spay appointment this summer. I'm putting up an adoption flyer at my vet for all of them hoping to find...

Thank you both so much! I'll call the vet and discuss the appointments too. I just calculated the exact dates and it would put us at 7.5 weeks instead of 8 weeks.

Just realized the first table is calculated using AM weights, and the second table 24 hour column is done using PM weights. Not even sure why i made the 24 hour column on the second one...hope that doesn't confuse things too much 🙃
