Just this fluid isnt enough to thriwe and grow on, but the kitten will survive several days on it, and it may buy you necessary time.Ĭlick to expand.UPDATE: (I didnt bring the kittens to the vet by myself since Ive been awake for more than 24hrs and I wasnt very fit to drive with the kittens, plus only one person is allowed to enter the vet consultation area due to corona restrictions).Īnyway, they all accepted each other with no fuss. The glucose sugar goes straigt into blood already from the mouth and the intestines. Last but not least if necessary or the kittens seems going downhill, use just the pedialyte, or your own make of water, caro syrup and a tiny trifle of salt.īecause with weak kittens going downhill the digestion arent working, while these fluids mentioned dont need to be digested. If you can get raw goats milk its the best. Goats milk? Yes goats milk is a good alternative, and the kitten will perhaps have easier with the taste. It works for some, and if you get the idea it may even be easier for you. What some try with, is a sponge such as used for make-up. Use a little syringe if you have, otherwise a dropper. Pray, to get yourself the calm, patience and strengh necessary. Still, its just to proceed as well you can. But looking from afar, it seems some are troopers, they fight for their life and take whatever the get. Its more problematic with this wiggling and refusing to eat. But I have noticed, its not always pneumonia, or at least, not always a serious pneumonia, and quite a few of the clicking kittens surivives and grows. The clicking is what we all are afraid of, as it is usually a symptom of pneumonia. Also, goat milk is often a better base than whey - kitten-rescue has good recipes for formula aka glop & homemade pedialyte. The nest should be around 90°~95° ambient air temperature. Liquids & formula should be warmed to 98°~100°. The clicking may resolve with adequate hydration or may require antibiotics. You are already keeping the "plumbing" going. Give them a 50/50 unflavored pedialyte & good water (bottled, filtered or good well water - most municipal tap water has harsh chemicals). My recommendations are: rub karo syrup on the gums to keep energy & blood sugar up. Our own member Hissy has an excellent website: that approaches feral rescue from a rural/layman style that serves well for more primitive conditions. KittenLady is great but she has elite resources. Sorry 4 showing up late! Right now, the basics are 1) keep warm 2) keep up blood sugar levels 3)maintain hydration 4) keep "plumbing" going. Now one of the kitten is making clicking noise in her chest most probably because I fed her wrong I just wish I could teleport these kittens to KittenLady and make her do her magic on them. We brought her to the closest vet asap and they suspected that she was either bitten by a poisonous insect or ate a poisonous insect. But yesterday out of nowhere the mama cat started drooling with foam and got into toxic shock. I thought the worst was over and now all will be fine. So far we've lost one kitten, she just stopped latching on her mom for no reason and died after 2 days. I'm no better than her either 'cause I mostly rescued adult cats or kittens that were older than 4 weeks old before and I never dealt with any nursing mom or newborns. My friend has never had a cat before so she is clueless. It's a stray cat gave birth in my friend's garden. She makes it look so easy but it's actually extremely hard to feed these little angry stubborn ones. Trust me! Ive been watching kitten lady's videos on repeat for past few days. I've tapped her as you described, she is still making that clicking sound. There is something wrong with this noise!! I am freaking out!!! what shall I do?!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!Ĭlick to expand.Thank you so much for your kind words. (it's 3am in the morning here) I found one open vet and called them on the phone asking what I can do and he said "feed her! she must be hungry." I think this vet is an idiot. Its almost impossible to find open vet now at this time. I am scared out of my mind that she's gotten the 'aspiration pneumonia' because of my shitty feeding skill and now there is formula in her lung!!!!!!!! I cant leave my place to go any vet because of corona lockdown at where I live. I did my best to feed them on their belly with their head elevated but they're really wiggly and angry. I think something is wrong cause one of the kitten had sort of hiccups after the feeding and now there is this clicking sound in her chest and neck when she breathes. Ive been trying to bottle feed the kittens for past 10hrs with kitten formula with bottle that comes with the formula. (The mom is a stray cat and she is really sick in ICU and I have zero experience with newborns). Im taking care of five days old newborn kittens without their mom.
