Update on the sick babies

[HayleyRosie]

Kim, I am so sorry to hear about the babies. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Get Vibes going your way for your babies...How are they doing this morning?

Casper and Tubalina are suffering most right now! They are coughing alot and Casper isn't wanting to eat / drink. So far Tubalina is still eating / drinking some. It's just so hard for them when their little noses are so stuffy! All of the babies have runny eyes and noses, but they're hanging in there. I am forcing the dietery supplements on them to keep the hydrated and giving the steroid shots as well. I am also running the vaporizer!

We are in the toughest stage of this right now ... the real "touch and go" period. I still feel encouraged, as they are still fairly active ... not depressed and hiding out ... so that is a good sign.
Please be assured that if they get to a critical point, they will immediately go to my vets office!!!!

Please continue to pray!!!

Oh no, tiny little Casper and my precious little Tubalina.

Thank you for taking such good care of them, Kim. I know they will pull through just fine with all your loving care.

Poor sweet babies, please get better soon.

Maybe Tubalina was meant to get it worst first so she can be feeling better by the time the others get it bad, and then she can help mother them along seeing as how she is such a good little mother already.

Prayers for you have never stopped. Hang in there Kim. We are here for you. You are doing a wonderful job.

Please let this weekend be the worst of it, and come Tuesday, everyone is on the mend. Hang in there, Kim!!!


Kim, just a thought...does washing, vaccuming, cleansing however, help the spread of the germs????

[kimlovescats]

Cataholic .... those things help some .... but it is mostly airborne ... even travels through your air ducts when they are in separate rooms!

However, at this point, the kittens are the last to get sick ... the others have made good progress, so once these babies are better, we should be through with this!!!

I have another post about the vet visit today ... but I will post the results here too! I just got back from getting them all subcue fluids! It was a long, and unhappy process for the babies, but they are all fast asleep now ... and much cooler! The tech sent the remaining bag with fluid home with me, in case they need more the next day or so. The biggest threat is always dehydration, so we should be protected against that now!

Thanks for all the prayers!

Hugs to all!

You took all six babies to the vet?! I thought you were just going to get the fluid to administor yourself, I had no idea you had bundled them all off for a little field trip. Probably the only thing that made this a little easier was that they weren't feeling well and weren't all that active. Whew! I can't imagine taking 6 squirmy little kittens to the vet at the same time.

They did fine... they were all in one carpet-lined pet carrier! Ya know, there is "safey in numbers"! They did fine .... I heard "nursing" going on during the trip!!!! hehehe.... God Bless Tubalina!!!

I'm glad you were able to get the subcue fluids for the babies. It's sad that they had to go through the procedure, but I hope that this speeds their recovery and all is well by the end of the weekend.
