Hello!
Please, excuse me if I wrote in the wrong forum or I have some huge mistakes. I can't fnd any good info and opinions on my case in my native language, so I decided the health forum would be a good choice to ask.
Also, I am very sorry for a long post.
I resqued 4 kittens in May at age of 2,5 weeks. Ttheir mother wed stray and poisoned (or dead because of another problem) about a 24 hours when I was said there are weak kittens in a distant city's district. I took them and raised to find a new good home for them in the future. All of them are fine, except one.
Visenya now is about 5,5 months and weights 1230 gramms. Her brothers and sister are: 3,1 kg; 2,9 kg; 2,7 kg respectively.
In late July Visenya got sick and I started a fight for her. Only one strong symptome — fever, our vet couldn´t understand what it is. The analyze pack were done, PCR came positive for panleukopenia with strange (as our current vet says) titre.
Visenya got a treatment, she had three antibiotics courses (Synulox,Tylosin, and Sumamed) and imunnostimulators and raised an allergy for them — the fever again. Also, Visenya showed an ataxia and bilateral uveitis
We changed a vet in August, finally found a good one. She said the following:
— The PCR results are strange.
— A fever in the first place were a result of mycoplasma.
— The ataxia and uveitis are the souveniers from Visenya's mother's panleukopenia, when she was pregnant.
— Visenya are very small (900 gramms at that moment). And, very possible, she will never grown up enough to be like other cars.
What we have now:
— Visenya is a little wobbly, but a little, her ataxia became less visible. Her teeth and fur are changing, late but changing.Visenya is in a good shape, proportions are good too. She is active and playful little ball of fur, I adore her deeply.
— We try to get rid of eveitis, we stay in contact with a vet of ophthalmologist.
— I am said again that Visenya won't be big at all. She eats a calcium supply and vit now, until she gets 7 or 8 months and she get an ultrasound and echo-ECG to make sure her organs are developed right.
I am worried about her size. I've read about a dwarfism, about pituitary nanism and already scared to death. even if I don't know what kind of issue I can apply to Visenya. I don't want to lose my little girl, because everything I see says pituitary nanism gives a cat a short life.
Have I done something wrong to her when I followed the unstructions of the first vet clinic? Could intrauterine feline panleukopenia give her problems with growth?
Are here people who saw a cases like this? What should I know about this?
Thank you for reading.

Thank you for reading.
. It's never an easy thing, and it's particularly hard when you've raised them from wee babies and literally brought them back from the brink of death, only to have this happen. It's devastating. Many people find it helps to write a memorial to them in our Crossing the Bridge forum. It won't make the pain go away, but you will see you are not alone. Most of us here have lost furry friends, and somehow it just helps to talk about it over there. Plus there are a few threads there on grieving.
