It is with great sadness and tears that I am writing this. I woke up this morning to 2 dead babies, the gray & white ones. We rushed mama and babies to the vets, yes thankfully my vet is open on Sunday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM and apparently Sweetpea is not producing any milk. It was hard for me to understand this as the babies seemed so content and were suckling off her about every 4 hours. The vet gave her a shot to help produce milk and gave me some KMR for the babies. Unfortunately he said the little calico one might not make it as it was very weak. We brought them home and fed them right away. They didn't take to the bottle so I had to use a syringe.
I am so heartbroken over this.
Prayers will be needed for them to survive and that Sweetpea will start producing milk in a few days.
