Ripley and Riley two of the five feral litter are not doing well. They have what I call wet tail from all the diarrhea that they have been fighting. The two babies have gone through one round of Albon and starting another round today but the diarrhea has intensified to the point that Riley cannot put her bum down flat on any surface unless it is heavily cushioned.
CATS Inc is in need to money to make this vet visit happen. If we can at least raise $200.00 I can get in the door to see my vet. We have taken the bill down to $1,200.00 so little by little it is being hit. I just hate for these kitties to suffer because we suck right now in asking for donations-
5:25 p.m. update- large amounts of protozoans were found in their stool. Both kittens found to still be emaciated, dehydrated despite eating and getting fluids. Both had fevers- vet suspects toxomoplasmosis along with the giardia,coccidia and trichomonasis- these babies were a mess. They are on an overnight stay so that they can give a bit more stool for an outside analysis of their waste. He is starting them on panacur, clindymycin and albon. We almost put Riley down just because she is suffering the worst of all of them but decided to give the meds a try and see if she can actually keep some nutrition in her body this time.
Sending some $$ for the babies. Also sending healing wishes their way. Please hold out for them a bit longer.
We will hold out- we are just not a fan of suffering when the suffering of the kitten is so intense. If God forbid something happens to her before the end of day tomorrow- the vet will probably have to put her down. She is pretty bad off-
Any update? I hope they are on the road to recovery.
