Number 40 has arrived - RIP Gigi

[Dawn (DiddyDawn)]

I love the name      I really hope the gorgeous Gigi makes it and I can't wait to see piccies, I hope you manage to get some rest Lesley, I've had my role of surrogate mum taken off me now.........thank god   

[koscha (Ruth M)]

Come on Gigi you can do it...although I will probably be calling her 40, it's stuck in my head! 

I'll go away and talk to the interesting table lamp in the corner now.....

[woowoo]

I'll send some ear plugs! Glad to hear she was ok last night, here's hoping for another good night, for her anyway!

[LesleyW]

She is a beautiful tabby and white, will try to get some piccies later, but she will be another blob on a photo I think , and if you want her to survive undamaged best that I don't sing to her

[Roz]

Hi Lesley,

Thank you for using my choice of name for this little sweetheart.  I hope she finds the strength to survive -  I shall ask St Francis to pull out all the stops for her.

Now ya know you've got to wear a beret while nursing her and sing to her in your best French accent ha ha.

C'mon Gigi darling...you can do it.

What colour is she Lesley? Or is it too early to tell?

Lots of love to you both

Roz

So glad Gigi has had a good night Lesley....Keep up the good work! 

[Dawn F]

hope Gigi thrives (love the name btw!)

[Desley (booktigger)]

Fingers crossed for her.

[Mark]

I'm happy this little girl made it and sure she will go from strength to strength in your care Lesley 

[Tiggy's Mum]

Have everything crossed for little Gigi, another little one saved 

[LesleyW]

Well, little one has made it through the night, probably better than I have .  I weighed her this morning and she weighs just 60g .  Looked through my naming list last night and have decided to use one of Roz's choices, Gigi.  Reading the words of the song, I am hoping they are going to come true for the little one, so Gigi is very appropriate, thank you Roz.

[Puffball (Louise)]

Poor little baby  Do hope she's ok 

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

I do hope the kitten does well 

[woowoo]

Good luck with the little baby. Don't suppose you could find another mummy cat to try her on?
They sounded like very caring owners -not

[Bazsmum]

Aw! Best of luck Lesley.....sending positive vibes for the little mite!~~~~~~~~~

[Pinkbear (Julie)]

 

What a horrid set of circumstances.  Really wish you the best of luck with this ickle mite. 

[LesleyW]

Got a call from the local PDSA this evening.  Had a mother in for a ceasarian this evening, one kitten was huge and basically "mummified", the other one smaller and looking slightly premature.  Mum has no interest whatsoever in kitten and has no milk supply.  They advised that the kitten had no suckle reflex and the owners had asked if I could take kitten on, as mum was showing no interest in it and they could not cope with kitten.  I know mums who have had caesarians can take some time to come round but owners do not seem interested in giving her a little while to recover, even phoning whilst I was picking up kitten to ask if they could take mum home.

The kitten is now ensconced in the small intensive care unit, has had some nutri drops and some First Life Kitten replacement colustrum.  The first lot was not taken that well but the second feed I had to pull the teat out of her little mouth . 

I will feed hourlyfor the first few hours to see if her strength continues to improve so if anyone is suffering from insomnia tonight I should be around.
