Thank you! I am willing to try anything to help her.  I don't want to lose her, she is only 2 and has overcome so many problems in her short life. 

I can when she goes for a change of bandage, right now its covered.  To describe what she does in the meantime, she seems to be targeting one toe in particular.  She will chew on her claw and while doing that she will pierce the top and sides of her foot with her fang.  She also  chews down into...

Thank you for all your insight.  I guess its never easy to lose a fur baby. Rest in peace little girl, run and grow on the Rainbow Bridge and know in your heart I tried to save you.

Hello-yes, I used the KMR available from Petco (don't remember brand name) and I put the syringe in  the corner of her mouth and slowly gave it to her.  She would swallow and burp.  I usually sat her upright in my lap. I did not think of a heating pad...DUH.  I just had her wrapped up in a soft...

I posted last year when we adopted Wiggles, that she has Cerebral Hypoplasia.  CH kitties have neurological issues and walk like they are drunk.  Balance is off and such.  Otherwise they are healthy. About 3 months ago, she started chewing her one toe on her foot.  we took her to vet after vet...

Thank you...that is one comforting thought that she didn't die alone, cold and in the dirt somewhere. 

My husband and I are heartbroken.  He found a very tiny kitten (2-3 weeks old) outside on Wednesday morning.  She was crying loudly, no mama around and was very skinny-you could feel her bones. We brought her in, wrapped her up, and got some KMR and a bottle.  She wouldn't eat-just kept crying...

I worry about her teeth too.  She is only about 7 months old now, but later when she is bigger, we may experience that problem as well.  It sure seems as tho these cats are more affectionate, loving, and appreciative of the work and effort involved with them.  I wouldn't trade her for all the...

We adopted a feral baby who has Cerebral Hypoplasia.  For those who have never heard of this condition, its a neurological condition that affects their movements, primarily the hind quarters.  They also shake and bob their heads while trying to eat or focus on something.  Its sad, but Wiggles...

HAHA...yes, her head bobs quite fast too when she is trying to eat or is engaged in 'killing' one of the toys she loves.  Is there anything special you need to do for these little guys?  I understand there is no medication to help curb their shakes and wobbles-right?  Yes, I saw the Charlie...

We have a colony of ferals outside besides our 3 indoor cats.  We try to grab and fix them all, but occasionally one or two get missed. 2 months ago one of the females had a litter of 3.  2 of them are fine, but one had trouble walking, would fall over constantly, her head shakes sometimes but...

Beautiful Kitty!!!! 

We feed a passel of kitties outside as well as my 3 indoor cats.  It's expensive, but they come to depend on you and the satisfying feeling of doing something great and connecting with them is overwhelming sometimes. Yes-in conjunction with our animal rescue teams-which we support-all but the...

Thank you for your replies.  Yes, it does help to think that some already living kitten will possibly be spared.  I guess it's just remorse on my part for not insisting they grab those last two ferals last year when we had them all fixed.  More seem to show up all the time.  *sigh*. Another...

UPDATE:  Well, our Mama hadn't had her babies yet and the rescue team caught her last night so they will do what they have to I guess.  I am saddened because her babies will never have a chance to grow and be loved.  It breaks my heart and when I expressed my concerns and my heartbreak to them...

When I was young I got a white kitty with one green eye and one blue.  The vet told me she was lucky because white cats with both blue eyes are most often deaf.  I have seen a couple of other white cats with blue eyes throughout my life that were indeed both deaf.  I never really researched...

I agree...the organization does place them in foster homes to bottle feed if they are tiny and then place them as quickly as possible.  They will return Mama here (fixed).  I was just horrified they would abort almost term babies.  I'm (almost) relieved she may have had them before we could...

We've rounded up pretty much all the ferals and have had them sterilized-she is a newbie.  I never saw her before a month or two ago.  My guess is she is not.  She'll be in the next bunch for sure. 

About 2 weeks ago I noticed that one of our resident ferals (who had managed to escape the SNR roundup) has 2 noticeable lumps on her sides and is waddeling.  Oh boy...so, I call our Animal Rescue that I have been working with to try and get all the ferals fixed to see what they want to do.  He...

Sounds good to me Willowy...thank you!
