Hello all. It's been a couple of months. All were adopted... And yes we kept one. She's almost 6 months, very funny and playful, a little purring goblin that we absolutely adore. Here she is bugging her fur brothers with her love.

Just wanted to give a quick update. They are almost 6 weeks, very healthy, and will be up for adoption at 8 weeks or so. Thank you for your help, I learned so much.

She's been eating less from the formula and feeding more on mum. Still gaining nicely. On the subject, I thought mum was suppose to feed every two hours or so but I've noticed she spends most of her time napping and feeding her kittens. She's gaining weight and has a good appetite, comes over...

I fear she will see this as a challenge 😂

Is it ok to feed her a bit more. She lost weight last week but now her appetite has been increasing and she is furiously suckling the kmr I'm giving her. I'm supposed to syringe feed her(so she can breath between feeds) 10ml every four hours but it doesn't look like enough, she grabs the...

Gained a bit more weight, she finally is understanding I'm feeding her not trying to hurt her. I had to set her up like this as I was working and had to feed her during a meeting lol. She's supposed to get 10ml every 4 hours but I've noticed at 5 ML is where she loses interest. I keep the...

They don't think it's cleft palate. They think It's the soft tissue/cartilage part right before the "flap" that prevents liquids from going up the nose. That cartilage isnt growing at the rate the kitten is growing so milk is coming up her nose. It will eventually grow out but in the meantime...

Was able to see the vet this am! So they think it's a palette issue. She grew faster than that little cartilage soft tissue thing can grow, milk is coming up her nose and causing an inflammation, which causes her not to latch on properly. She's still nice and strong, she's on clavamox, got subq...

There is no vet open where I am currently and emergency vet are several hours from here. I gave her homemade Pedialyte, and she is suckling from mom. I'll feed her again tonight and give her more electrolyte. I'm doing my best but going to a vet right now is not an option.

I'm not a fan either. I get they are volunteer based but I wish they gave us an emergency kit and guideline. I mentioned it to the foster family contact. I'll see if they can do clavamox for me but I got no hope.

For the kitten with the sneeze : she is still congested, sounds like she has a bad cold, sneezing, clear mucus still but meowing in frustration. Vet could not see her today they are volunteer run and would not be able to see her just told to keep an eye out and call them if she gets worse...

we ended up putting her and the babies back in the cat room. She has several nest options there and there is a space heater in case she plops them somewhere. She just wants to bring the kittens to us but it's not safe. Our dog is a sweetheart but he is big and she kept dropping the kittens next...

So this worked briefly. She's been trying to put the kittens under our bed (it's super low and not safe) I've spent the whole night putting them back in their nest. They arent whining, they are sleeping and she grabs them and drags them out. I don't know what to do. Should I put her and the nest...

Ok we figured it out. Heating pad on one side of the closet, lots of towels on the floor, a felt blanket over the closet door opening and a box to block the kittens from stepping out. Mum is purring and happy in there. She started moving them in as soon as I showed her the space. I figure it's...

Catroom not cartoon dang autocorrect.

Also the cartoon is kept warm, but we sleep with the windows open so not comfortable for them until they can regulate. :(

The problem is she is moving them in the bedroom right next to my 90lb dog bed. He's a sweetheart and loves the cat but if he rolls or steps on them they are done. I'm trying to see if she could move them to a closet maybe, the dog can't access that.

Sneezy still sneezing a bit, no green/yellow discharge. She isn't gaining much weight but is eating. Mum is trying to move her babes to our bedroom. She's done it a few times. Wondering if she associates the nest with sneezing or if I bugged her too much (vet asked that I check that the sick...

Ok so sneezy has been seen by a vet, her eyes, lungs are clear. Just a bit a dehydrated so she go some fluids in her and she's on meds for the next 3 days but otherwise she is healthy.

I do wonder... i use wood pellets for mums litter box, provided by the rescue. it's away from the nest behind a cozy chair but I feel like she started sneezing when I changed out the litter Monday night.
