Hi all,
So I picked up 2 little bottle feeders yesterday from a local rescue group that I will foster until adoption (if they make it). The lady at the rescue group said they were 3 weeks old, however, my foster coordinator (an absolutely brilliant lady when it comes to care for cats & kittens) thinks they are closer to 4 or 5 weeks and are very undernurished. I too have to say they are older than 3 weeks because the ears are fully open and they will perk their ears to sounds and they both have a good display of baby teeth through the surface.
Anyway, both of these little guys are undernurished and dehydrated and having a hard time nursing. And if that isn't bad enough on its own, one of them is very sick.
She has diarrhea indicating a gastro intestinal problem, tape worms, is severly dehydrated, is hardly eating. The next 72 hours are critical for this little baby
Please keep this little gal in your thoughts and send some good purry vibes her way.
