UPDATE: Some how she made it through the night. I kept giving her Karo syrup, homemade pedialite and nutri-cal for several hours. She was peeing, which I think was good, but she wouldn't eat at all. I had to force feed her. My little girl dropped to her knees and started praying. I prepared her for the worst and told her it was just a matter of time.
I had another horrible thing happen last night so kitties had to kind of take the back burner (I fed them, but it was already midnight at that point.) My husband had tried killing himself. He's away for training with the Army. Anyway, I ended up going to sleep and woke up at 5 expecting her to not have made it. She looked up at me, meowed and drank almost 20ccs of formula! I couldn't believe it. She's even fiesty today.
God answered my daughter's prayer to save this kittie, and mine to save my husband.
What a night.
I thought they were all doing so well. Yesterday they all got diarreah (maybe from kitten glop so I switched them back to formula today). Maybe this one wasn't eating AS much as the others, but I totally did not expect this.
I reached in the crate and I saw that her eyes are kind of glassy. She looks bad, she's limp, and breathing fast. I tried feeding her but she just let it drip out of her mouth. I tried sugar water, and the same thing. i really do not think she's going to make it. Whenever I try to stroke her she heaves like she's going to throw up, and cries a little cry, almost in pain. I have her on my chest right now, just waiting for her to pass. It's the sadest thing I've ever experienced. I feel like such a failure.
I called the vet and it would be $125 just to see her, and the vet doesn't think there's much to be done at this point.
I'm not cut out for this.
