They seem fine today, thanks, MM.

Going from strenght to strenght. But the wait for the results is becoming draining.

Will try to get some more pics tomorrow to take my mind off things.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #157 on:** June 21, 2008, 19:56:46 PM »

How are they doing today?

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #156 on:** June 20, 2008, 20:16:30 PM »

Julie so pleased these little ones are full of naughtiness

hope their little antics have you run off your feet, and then, before you know it you will hopefully have some negative test results. Keep strong

What a pair of sweethearts - fingers toes and everything else crossed that the test results are all good. xxx

for you PB xxx

Glad to hear this, and even if they do have FIV, it isn't a death sentence, so hopefully these two are now strong enough to deal with it.

Romney and Hythe are bombing around like lunatics today. They are certainly pushing boundaries and finding new ways to be naughty.

I can't see a thing wrong with them. Still looking a tad thin, of course, but they have nice sparkly eyes and glossy coats now - signs of their improved diet taking effect, I'm sure.

We still haven't heard back from Bristol, but Rob will call me as soon as he knows. He may even chivvy them if we hear nothing by the end of today. I'm trying not to get my hopes up as they could still have nasties in their bloodstream, but they no longer look as weak and sleepy as they were at the start of the week.

Regardless of the outcome PB you are doing a wondeful job with the little ones and have shown them love, affection and how to enjoy their little lives, no matter how short a time that may be. I know it doesn't make it any easier but you have all of us here rooting for you and the little ones.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #148 on:** June 20, 2008, 09:47:15 AM »

Hope all is well today,sending lots of

So sorry to hear about little Sandwich it has really upset me, RIP sweet baby and hugs to PB for taking care of them all

Hope everything goes well with the others.

As Teresa said elsewhere I think, it really does help to know everyone is rooting for these babies. It can feel very lonely and a bit daunting thinking you have sole charge of these precious little things.

Sole charge, yes, but with an army of us to support you.

Liz · « **Reply #143 on:** June 19, 2008, 12:43:09 PM »

Julie sorry for your losses, we lost 3 this month to but like you have a bundle of joy who will hopefully get all the way to full kitten chaos mode

keeping all fingers and paws crossed up here

Romney and Hythe have been making real progress in the last 48 hours, and I'm more hopeful than I've ever been about them. Hythe is still quite small but he seems to be following Romney's lead and maturing well. There always seems to be a stage when they become more independent and don't need you as much. They have both learned to climb since yesterday, and they have formed an escape committee - it's always a sign they are getting ready for higher and better things when they show an interest in the world outside the room, I think.

And believe it or not, I also like it when they start being naughty!

Today, Romney was caught fleeing from the linen cupboard dragging my daughter's bra in his teeth. We think he had plans to construct a DIY hammock.

I will be so shocked and upset if their bloods come back with horrid results. But this whole experience has been a roller coaster and I must learn not to get my hopes up.

I just got an email from Rob the vet. He said they send their in-house tests for a free check at the Bristol lab - so no cost

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #136 on:** June 18, 2008, 19:33:38 PM »

Julie my heart is breaking for you, so very hard to give your all and then lose them through no fault of your own. Keep strong

Millys Mum · « **Reply #135 on:** June 18, 2008, 17:26:02 PM »

Sorry to hear you have lost another little one julie

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #134 on:** June 18, 2008, 17:01:51 PM »

RIP little sandwich, she'll be safe and sound at the Bridge by now and I'm sure there will be a queue of people waiting to collect her. Another big

for you Julie, it must be devastating for you

Good Luck!

MBll · « **Reply #132 on:** June 18, 2008, 16:36:43 PM »

so very sorry about this terrible outcome for ya weans & yaself

Mark · « **Reply #131 on:** June 18, 2008, 15:05:20 PM »

Rather than send separate emails, I phoned the vet but he isn't sure of the cost until he phones them. I was asked to email the question to them and they will reply when they know

I will do that now.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #130 on:** June 18, 2008, 14:47:05 PM »

I am so sorry to hear this sad news and lots of

to you Julie, it must be so devasting to watch them go like this. I know nothing about kittens as all my cats have been adults but its the way they seem to be doing quite well one minute and then crash, I am devasted so dont know how bad you must be feeling.

RIP Sandwich.

Jasmine · « **Reply #129 on:** June 18, 2008, 14:41:24 PM »

Wishing all the best for the two remaining little soldiers.

RIP the other poor souls.

I didn't stop to ask about the costs, I'm afraid, as my head is still spinning. Maybe Sharon or Mark could phone and ask?

I will phone if you want me to Julie but it's one of those things and the money will have to be found for it - I'm sure Sharon will agree. I can't imagine it will be a ridiculous amount.

Just so sorry you (and the poor babies) had to go through that

Dawn F · « **Reply #127 on:** June 18, 2008, 14:36:26 PM »

Oh Julie that is awful, eat as many thorntons as you can hun, I think you more than deserve it

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #126 on:** June 18, 2008, 14:31:44 PM »

Hi, folks.

Thanks to everyone for all your kind words and wishes.

I'm feeling quite drained now. It was horrid and obvious as soon as I found her that she only had minutes left. I couldn't think of a painless way to end her suffering so I just sat talking and singing to her. I hope I helped her a little, but she kept crying out and it broke my heart... Terry has now told me he she was eating and fine at 7.30am, so all this happened within the space of an hour.

Yes, this mornings tests still show NEG for FeLV but a very slight raised result for FIV. Rob showed me the slides and it's very similar to a human pregnancy test, with a blue band running down the strip if it's positive. Hythe's result show a feint 'blip' in the strip, but not a full band as Hastings was. The Bristol results will confirm one way or another. I can promise you Romney and Hythe are not going to go through this and if the Bristol results are positive, we will say goodbye to them on our terms when we are ready before they are stolen from us like the others.

I didn't stop to ask about the costs, I'm afraid, as my head is still spinning. Maybe Sharon or Mark could phone and ask?

It's a good job I don't drink because I'd be as

as a frog by now. Instead I shall take my revenge on some Thorntons.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #125 on:** June 18, 2008, 14:07:38 PM »

I dont know the results or anything, but Rob is great and he decided to send blood away even with us asking him to. I can only image that something isnt right, but it doesnt nec mean we are dealing with FIV again... Good news that Romney is clear though. I do feel that we are dealing with two litters here...

Dawn F · « **Reply #124 on:** June 18, 2008, 14:02:03 PM »

what a terrible shame, is this for FIV? poor babes and hugs to you Julie, it must be heartbreaking to watch

Tan · « **Reply #123 on:** June 18, 2008, 13:49:13 PM »

Just read this Julie and i am sooo sorry hun.

You all over at Canterbury have loved and cared for them in the best possible way. Sending my love and prayers over to you all, little Hastings and Hythe.

Praying the blood work comes back with good results.

Whats the costs of the tests hun
