More babies have arrived at Cats4Keeps
Yesterday someone brought 3 nursing kittens whose mom was hit and killed by a car. :( :( They are approximately 3 to 4 weeks old, and nice and pudgy ... although they do have goopy eyes. I am feeding them KMR and putting medicine in their eyes. They already look better, and they are little piggies with the syringe! :D The woman said that one of them had some sort of worm under the skin on its neck, and her husband pulled it out!!!?:eek: Does anyone know what kind of worm this would be? Poor baby has a hole and some draining pus, not too bad, as they were keeping it clean with peroxide and neosporin. I drained more of the infection out myself last night, and it is not as swollen today. Baby is eating good though, so I don't feel too overly concerned at the moment. I have a vet appointment tomorrow anyway, so will see what she says. ;)
Also, another family brought me a little orange guy. Well, I haven't confirmed that it is a boy, he came in late last night, and I just got him/her set up in a cage and fed. Plan to bathe and check more "closely" today! :D

Maybe a cuterebra? Reese had one when we found her. The Vet surgically removed it. Here's a link to a bit of info, and you can GOOGLE it for more.
