Firstly let me give an update on Hope. Yesterday I posted that she was doing very well, had gained a whack of weight and a very different kitten from the day before.
At 10pm she refused her bottle, so I put her back to bed and got up at 12am, again she refused, but now she had green explosive diarrhea. I cleaned her up and tried to fed her again ended up putting her back to bed. got up again at 2 and then 4 only to have the same pattern happening. At 6 she finally took a little bit, just enough to wet her mouth basically.
At just after 8 this morning, I called Mary, worried that this kitten had more going on then we knew. Mary was kind enough to pick her up and take her to the vet. By this time, it was no longer green but white...I really didn't expect her to come home from the vet, she was going downhill very fast, she had lost 9G, between 7pm last night and 10am this morning.
Mary returned with Hope and instructions as well as some antibiotics...it seems that Hope may have a bacterial infection of some sort, they tested for worms but didn't find any. The vet decided to give her a day to see how she responded to the a/b injection and to see if perhaps she would improve. She has refused every feeding so far but is letting me drop food into her mouth. She still has the runs and it now has a bit of colour in it. While the runs are not a good sign the colour is a positive sign right? SO as it stands now, I have a sick girl who i am hoping will recover and get healthy.
2 new babies were deilvered to me a few hrs ago, about 2 weeks old and doing well. the person who had fed them had been feeding them cows milk, and their bellies are HUGE with bloat. I will be giving them some colic drops to try and take the bloat away but other than that they seem well. I will post more on them tomorrow when I know them a bit better...
I have no weights for tonight, Hope was sleeping and I don't want to stress her out in anyway, this morning she was 221 so I already know she lost weight. The other 2 I didn't weigh since they have only been here a few hrs.
