Little Bear & Lucky

**GILL** · 05-07-2008, 07:40 AM

Right now I am very worried. LB (Little Bear) has been a great foster mom, too good. She does not want to leave the kitten (Lucky). LB is drinking but I don't believe that it is enough. She almost stopped eating, just a few nibbles at night. The little one is growing but slowly, it is getting mike form LB and 3 times a day we have been giving the formula. SO 3:30 this afternoon we go see the white coats.

Keeping everything crossed that you come home w/a good report.....

Prayers that Lucky is okay, and whatever it is is simple to treat...after losing wee Trooper, Lucky just has to pull through!

PT Prayers for Lucky.

Sounds like you're doing all the right things. That's great news!

Give us a report when you get back from the white coats.

Prayers being prayed that Lucky will be okay and whatever is going on can be easily resolved. Please let us know what the vet has to say?

Hey LB, there's a lot of good foods around, TASTE it!

Keep up the good work, Gill. Hope the white coats have a simple answer.

oh my goodness...I just saw this thread Gill. How is everyone doing?? Please let us know...I am so worried about LB! Not that I'm not worried about Lucky, I was just sooo attached to LB.

I did get those papers sent out...finally. I had asked Steve to do it last week and with the move he must have forgotten. I found them by the computer on tuesday morning and got them in the mail that afternoon.

Try feeding LB some of the kitty milk using a dropper...she would NEVER say no to that when she was here. For a while she wasn't eating much for us either, but I started with the milk in a dropper and heating some wet cat food and water all mixed up into a slush and she would drink of the water and in doing that, consume some of the food. I also used to set her in my lap facing me with her front paws on my left leg and let her lay there while she ate/drank.

Oh how I miss that kitty...please please please let us know what is happening.

Gill, I am just now seeing this thread. I pray that LB got a good diagnosis from the vet! I'm hoping that maybe she just is ready to quit nursing? I'm not up to date on her story. Please update us soon!

Visit went GREAT. We prefer to see Dr. Mike or DR. Connelly at the Hodes group. Dr Mike is a cat specialist. LB was constipated, and had ear mites. The ear mites are gone and she cleared the constipation on the way home. Her congestion seems too be clearing. As soon as the kitten is weaned she will be on antibiotics if the congestion has not cleared. Her hip was checked and does not seem too be a problem. Even with the weird walk, she does have full movement. She was so good at the vets. She is now on Kitten food and last night ate half a bowl. We hope to add a little weight to her. The little one, Lucky had infection in the belly button and his eyes are starting to open. So right now both seem to be in good health, aside from LB being a bit under weight.
