Please send extra prayers for Angel. She is going to the vet at 1 this afternoon.

After Jenn mentioned that she thought Angel's tummy looked swollen, I checked her out. It does look like she has a cotton ball in her tummy and it looks like the site is starting to get infected. I'll take her in and see if the vet can help her. She is 18 days old today.

I'll update you later this afternoon.

Prayers for wee Angel. She is lively and cleaning herself...hopefully the vet can help.

Again, more PT Prayers!

What a precious baby! I'm glad you're taking her to the vet; I don't remember any of my foster kittens' navels being swollen like that.

Using Advantage for kittens: Adult cat dose is 0.4 cc for 5-10 lbs; so I weigh the kitten, and use a small syringe to adjust the dose. Basically, a kitten this small would get a drop.

I bottle raised a feral kitten once that the belly looked just like that.. The Vet said a piece of grass had gotten into thru the belly button/cord & caused a infection.. It sure looks just like what this kitten has.. Yes for sure take the baby to the Vets.. Sending Lots of Prayers for wittle Angel..

Thanks for the prayers and well wishes everyone. They worked again!!!

Angel is home and with her mommy now. She did have a abcess. I about fainted when the vet opened that thing. They gave her antibiotic to take twice a day.

They also said to bathe her as needed for the fleas using Dawn dish soap. They gave me some, so she had her first bath when we got home, a good toweling off, then a fluff dry with my hair dryer.

Angel sends a big to Auntie Jen who made me take a better look at that sweet tummy!


Almost forgot to tell you about Angel's mommy, Winnie's, big break through. She now lets me pick her up and cuddle her!!!!! Can't believe this is the same cat I had to almost wear armour around just a week ago!!!

Good news on baby Angel! She'll be a healthy kitty now thanks to PT and you!

Gee...if momcat is cuddling, then I guess SHE is next for a bath?

Great news all around!

(PS many many years ago I took a cat of mine in for a bump on his spine - it was an abcess. He was black, so it was hard to see. The vet just picked lightly at the scab, and then....let's just say I totally understand your almost fainting!)

Sending a little kiss for Angel. And a big for Winnie for being so brave and deciding humans aren't all bad.

I think Winnie is beginning to believe that humans aren't so bad after all. Angel knew that all along. Sending prayers that these to find a good home!
