Wonderful to hear. Make sure he's eliminating. He just took a little longer to jumpstart.

I also think casper might actually be a girl

I know for sure about Bubbles and Sparkle that they are males, but i don't know about Sugar and Casper

What are you feeding them?

When you say they are eating on their own, are they eating from a dish?

Continue to keep their eyes cleaned. If it does not clear they will need an antibiotic ointment.

Thank you for saving them!

Yes, they are eating wet kitten food from a dish, i also mixed some kitten formula with their food so they get a little more hydrated.
When i brought them home i first gave them some kitten formula in a bottle, and they loved it, they don't need it really, the vet told me they are big enough to eat solid food, but i thought it wouldn't hurt them either.
The vet also gave me some eyedrops, one eyedrop in each eye twice a day, but i am also cleaning their eyes with warm water

I've taken a closer look and Casper is a girl!!
Any name suggestions for her?

Why can't Casper be for a girl?

 

[Sarthur2]

They look so sweet! It sounds like you are taking great care of them. They are very blessed to be in your care!

One of the things i was mostly afraid of...diarrhea
One of them has diarrhea but i don't know which one, it wasn't very bad, just very very soft, and they also poop quite a lot, does anyone have any advice?

 

[kittens mom]

Mine had some diarrhea while transitioning from liquid to solid foods. Short lived. Worms can be another issue. They've also been under a lot of stress.
If they eat a lot they'll poop a lot. Does the poo stay formed or is it more liquid.

Not liquid, more like a pudding texture, i honestly don't know how to describe it, and as i was expecting, Casper is the one that has diarrhea, i will take a picture of it next time she poops;
I went to like 20 pharmacies for some oral rehydration solution, seems like pedialyte isn't in any pharmacy in my country, i could only find flavoured ones that i impulsively bought even though i probably can't give to the kittens, i also argued with some of the pharmacists that were extremely rude and they STARTED LAUGHING and making fun of the fact that i use it for treating kittens.. Sometimes i just hate how ignorant people are..

I believe you can find a recipe for pedialyte online. Don't be discouraged there a places in my country that would laugh over what we spent to save one mother cat and her two kits. Right is right no matter where you are or the prevailing attitude.

 

[kittens mom]

Kitten Primer the recipe here is under Check for dehydration. I would only use nursery water of water I had boiled first. You should probably do a search for homemade kitten pedialyte and make sure the recipes are consistent.

Can Yogurt Treat a Cat with Diarrhea? this would of course be plain yogurt no sugars or flavoring.

kittens mom i swear to God you are an angel! Thank you so much!!

 

[Mamanyt1953]

I am so looking forward to watching these guys get healthy and thrive! They couldn't have fallen into kinder hands. Bless you.

My vet said plain goat milk yogurt is fine for cats. Hector ate it when she was off her food.

 

[iloveallcats]

Also, from all the things i got this has very similar ingredients with pedialyte, the only problem would be the apple, what do you think? It is all natural apple juice added, no colorants or other flavors, would it be fine?

 

[kittens mom]

Personally I wouldn't unless it was life or death in the middle of the night.
There are lots of angels here.
