Sorry for not introducing myself first, but I have a problem with a kitten that will be two weeks old tomarrow. Today I took Jack to the vet. He had a penicillin and Vit. B Complex injection. Plus he had a sub.fluid injection. I was told to give him another if and when the
"bubble" went down. Two hours later something told me to check on him.
He was almost dead, no movement, no crying, nothing. I gave him CPR and mouth to mouth. I was desperate so I gave him another sub. injection, within minutes he was fine and was crying for a bottle!
What happened? Low blood sugar or what? I'm scared to death to put him back in his bed! I have only enough Glucose for two more shots.
He was only to get two a day, morning and night. He's had two within four hours!! Plus he's getting Yogurt mixed in his formula. I already lost three kittens I don't want to lose Jack to!! We don't have a all night vet or anyone who deals with newborns!! What do I do till morning when I can contact my vet? I'm doing everything I can for this little guy!!
