Cat Chat Feline Forum

Thank you so much everyone. :) The remaining kitten has been well, but about 30 minutes ago I noticed one side of his face is super swollen. Like where his lymph node is. He acts like he wants to eat then refuses the bottle, maybe it hurts to swallow being so swollen? My vet is closed now but I'll b...

So sorry for kitten. Try not to let the trolls dent your optimism or doubt yourself, even very experienced breeders with mother cat lose kittens.

Thanks for your support!

I got calico baby to eat a few times. She had pink diarrhea though. But it seemed like she has more energy. I'll update after the vet tomorrow

The only reason I thought of withholding food was because it seemed like it just kept happening over and over no matter how careful and slowly i was doing it. I would lightly touch her throat to make sure she was swallowing while nursing but ...

Hey guys. I have 3 orphaned foster kittens, approximately 2 weeks old. They were doing well for the first few days, they've always had diarrhea but other than that they were all energetic and eating well. I have them on KMR with probiotics. The past two days have been rough. Only one kitten is thriv...
