Thank you for the link, that looks rough... I'm still waiting on a response from the clinic, I really hope they can attend them. But since it's Sunday I might have to help the kitties get through the night before I can take them in tomorrow. It's not uncommon for businesses to close on Sunday.I think your kittens may have panleukopenia. The only cure is supportive care (constant fluids like pedialyte) and time.
Here is a helpful link:
Feline panleukopenia
For what it's worth I haven't noticed any diarrhea or fever. They're very gassy, which causes some distension. But all the stools they've had recently don't have signs of blood, just some mucus. I really hope it's not panleukopenia, but there's no way to know until I take them in to the vet I guess...
I just syringe fed them some formula mixed with pedialyte. I think the gases + constipation is what's keeping them from having a healthy appetite. I'm massaging their tummies every now and then and it helps relieve them. One of them even pooped a stool that wasn't hard as a rock!
Fluffy's doing the best still, she's playing with a crumpled up paper ball as we speak. Really hope the fluids help them stay strong enough until I can get them to the clinic.
