Thank you.OK, this should be safe... Still, if the kitten manages the night, try to get goats milk; it may be an alternative.
Im sorry for your situation.
Sorry, Im not sure what prolyte is. Do you mean pedialyte? Solution of water, salts and sugar? If yes, its tough, and the end nearing.Thank you.
I can't get her to swallow any of the prolyte. I don't think there's anything I can do for her.
Prolyte is an electrolyte solution for animals. It also contains glutamine and probiotics. I got her to drink a tiny amount but I don't think it'll make a difference.Sorry, Im not sure what prolyte is. Do you mean pedialyte? Solution of water, salts and sugar? If yes, its tough, and the end nearing.
If its some kmr, try with pedialyte or even just water. its easier for them.
Try to give her comfort, she will pass sooner or later.
Or if you have say, an experienced hunter as neighbour. He will know how to do the last service.
Is that something she could recover from? Is she likely to take a nosedive again tonight? She's purring up a storm and I'm terrified she's self-soothing because she's about to die
I really hope not. I don't have the skills to do that and the shelter is already overwhelmed with kittens. All I can do is keep her warm and fed regularly. Fortunately she's at least gaining weight well.A stomach tube might need to be inserted to give her a more regular supply of glucose. IV is another option.
I'm really reluctant to give them anything that isn't specifically formulated for kittens... Especially dairy.Can you add some heavy cream to their formula? Fat can help keep blood sugar levels steadier.
