poor Pedro has had another enema as he hasn`t been since the scare on Thursday night and he is back on the lactulose.

What was the scare, Teresa? Am I being dense (entirely possible)?

Great news about their weights and I hope this will mean their little systems can adapt to the medication and quickly eliminate the parasites. Is there any risk of cross-contamination to Minimopsical (I am sure you have this covered)?

All fingers firmly crossed for a speedy resolution and good news.

Talk about unexpected! Poor little ones - it's a tribute to the care they've had that they are doing so well in spite of it all. Everything crossed that the medication does the trick.

Oooh so now they are extra special!

Fingers crossed for all these littles guys , lets hope the new meds do the business!

Just flying in with a quick update, all 3 weighed and had injection this morning; vet has warned they may be a little lethargic due to the medication but told me not to worry;poor Pedro has had another enema as he hasn`t been since the scare on Thursday night and he is back on the lactulose.

Was thrilled with their weight gain this week, they now weigh
Marguerita = 420grams
Pedro = 450grams
Diablo = 570grams

All 7 of the kittens are seeing Rebecca at 11.10 am Monday.

Have given Christine the name of the parasite.

Will this be published in a vets journal or something so that the information can be passed onto other vets?

Gill I really cant answer your question as it is the last thing I would ever have thought of.

Wow, that is astonishing. Fingers crossed for the new meds.

What is the name of the parasite, Teresa, did Rebecca say?

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #201 on:** June 20, 2008, 20:24:31 PM »

(Clever Buster!

No, no - I'm going....... see? I'm gone.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #200 on:** June 20, 2008, 20:23:35 PM »

Oh my word, Teresa (I'm still here...

) that's dreadful. Very worrying, but if anyone can get them through this medication business then you can. I do hope all of them will respond well, poor little mites. It's no good. I'd better have another "nom nom nom" while I'm here......

(one each)

Right. I'm going now. Honest.

Rebecca vet phoned today with some test results which have astounded us all, the kittens have an internal parasite which is usually found in calves and sheep and birds; she and other vets at surgery have Never known it to be in a cat before and cannot understand how these little ones have survived like they have. Rebecca has done a lot of research and discussed this with colleagues and they are confident that they have come up with the right medication; the main danger is the harshness of the drugs needed with them being such for tiny kittens and added to that Pedro`s mega colon. Fortunately Rebecca is a brilliant vet who I trust implicitly so I am confident we can overcome this. So tomorrow morning they are off to vets for weighing and injections and some special drugs have been ordered for Monday when all 7 babies will be weighed and medicated. Rebecca says this would account for the mothers abandoning them.

We lovingly call these Busters Babes as I swear he guided them to us

,think he knew how much I loved a challenge.

Oh my goodness - how adorable are they - the second one of Diablo is just - purrrfect - his little face!

Thank you Auntie T!

And Pedro has some little white hairs on his right leg

Pedro - keep practisin those ball skills

Marguerita - couldn't get any sweeter!

Lollipuss - dontcha look so serious, you're a little smasher.

Huggi - you couldn't have been more appropriately named (nom nom nom)

Monkey - Lots of gentle purrs to you

Mooch - let me give that chin a little rub!

And Minimopsical, Paddy sends a special Prrrrfppt and a wink

for you.

Well done....what a little star! They are lovely T!

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #188 on:** June 19, 2008, 18:48:20 PM »

I think we were all so worried about these littluns and it is simply marvellous to hear that they are starting to thrive. Good news too that you can look forward to a half-decent nights sleep again, Teresa.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #187 on:** June 19, 2008, 17:35:25 PM »

Amazing to see them up and about

Ann Clarke (Tabby cat) · « **Reply #186 on:** June 19, 2008, 13:18:02 PM »

I think you're right Sue - she's a star

Great to see them all doing so well

I suspect Minimopsical also has "der speshul healin powas"

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #183 on:** June 19, 2008, 12:32:20 PM »

And the most lovable. She had not seen me for months and just cuddled right up and purred in her little way. Absolute bliss

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #182 on:** June 19, 2008, 12:24:38 PM »

I know, I'm a bit - "blessed" I think is the polite word for it!

I think Minimopsical really is a wonderful cat. To think how good she is with all of your huge foster family Teresa, she's an exceptional little soul. If we could give awards like People of Britain awards for Cats, she'd have to be up there with the best.

The Queen would be honoured to have minimopsical go to visit

Watch out you Corgis!

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #181 on:** June 19, 2008, 12:08:31 PM »

Brilliant news update Sue.

Glad to see them all so lively and healthy. As for Minimopsical, you lot have to feel some sympathy for her. She's totally adorable and teaches these kittens some manners however, I fear she's been overpowered by their antics.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #180 on:** June 19, 2008, 12:08:13 PM »

Actually the Queen has expressed an interest in employing Minimopsical to put the corgi`s through their paces and teach them some etiquette

JackSpratt · « **Reply #179 on:** June 19, 2008, 12:00:12 PM »

D'you know Sue - you're utterly bonkers......in a really nice way.

Brilliant pictures of the little ones and Minimopsical.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #178 on:** June 19, 2008, 11:32:15 AM »

Stop Press! Stop Press!!

Sir Ranulph Fiennes has expressed an interest in taking Diablo on his next mountaineering mission due to his superb skills in scaling the laundry basket!!

And just in - Real Madrid, disappointed in their inability to secure Cristiano Renaldo, have announced that Pedro is their next choice as fabulous footballer of the season!!

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #177 on:** June 19, 2008, 11:26:36 AM »

They are gaining weight at last, when I pick them up they no longer feel like empty shells; I can at last go to bed at night and leave them with food and know that they will be fine until 6am, a huge relief.
Diablo and Pedro love having play fights in Minimopsicals toilet (good job its always clean).
2nd pic is Minimopsical taking a minute off sharing food with Marguerita so she can keep an eye on Diablo and Pedro.
I think Diablo can see and hear plenty now.

Fantastic news - well done Paddy Power and well done T for your love and perseverance with these little ones xxx

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #175 on:** June 19, 2008, 11:05:12 AM »

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #174 on:** June 19, 2008, 08:19:19 AM »

Aww, am glad to hear another positive update on these little ones.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #173 on:** June 19, 2008, 08:11:34 AM »

Ah yes, early morning time - a very good time for nipping in and giving gentle tummy rubs to the little Munch Bunch babies.

And a 21 gun salute to Minimops, because those pictures show just what an amazing lady that little cat is. How come she has such a big heart, with room for everyone? Reckon Aunty T, you taught her well. Lead by example

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #172 on:** June 18, 2008, 21:07:07 PM »

Wooooohooooo! Look at those little babies!

Aunty T - you are a miracle worker!

Paddy is looking well chuffed with himself. Hee hee hee - I am soooo happy seeing these piccies!! You're a real treasure, missus. A real treasure!!

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #171 on:** June 18, 2008, 20:05:03 PM »

Oh T they are so adorable. Sorry I've not posted much before now but I have been keeping up with progress. Great news about Diablo and the pics of Mini and the little ones are absolutely wonderful.

Keep up the good work hun. Sending lots of love and cuddles to Margurita to get well soon.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #170 on:** June 18, 2008, 19:55:59 PM »

Fantastic news all round!

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #169 on:** June 18, 2008, 19:54:47 PM »

Sometimes when you struggle alone to save a little life it really helps you to post your woes and see them in a funny sort of light; now these 3 little ones gave me more worry and grey hairs than I would have believed possible and I was so near breaking point; Sue Paddysmum you dont realise it but your little replys gave me the strength to carry on, please dont ever change

After almost 3 weeks they are finally all eating and pooping normally and running Minimopsical off her legs.

Special thanks to Paddy for using his special powers.
