thank you for your advice...ill be talking to vet tomorrow!

Not wanting to add to your burden but suggest you ring vets about worming treatment unless already done. Important to get special kitten stuff from vets esp if they have a flea problem. I have no kitten fleas/worming experience coz our most recent two came from Covcats all sorted but know diarrhoea in cats can be a sign of worms and diarrhoea in kittens is a dangerous thing.

They are both most certainly drop dead gorgeous and love the play area your son devised for them on other thread. Really fab

yes didnt think about that....

no i gave them a small dose of the frontline...not a whole one!!....

they are sleeping in their freshly made and washed fleecy balnkets with hot water bottle.......and hopefully they can start to be proper kittens soon and not the poor litte waifs they have appeared to be this last few days....what with eye drops, trips to vets funny food and drinks!

they love all teh toys we have for them...mainly boxes, tubes that we already had but they love the newscratching post we got them....they are so comical!

Sounds like you are doing everything right .....................just dont overdose them with frontline

Probalby they had a couple of fleas but loads of eggs which have now hatched cos they are in nice warm clean place.

Keep up the good work with them

purrdy1 · « **Reply #41 on:** November 24, 2009, 20:30:59 PM »

both eating well again but both absolutely HEAVING in fleas!

ughghghghghghhg...she told me that they had been frontlined and wormed......there is no way!.

...Ive kept them pretty much in kitchen and i noticed that they have been scratching away i couldnt see any fleas but then tonight on my lap in front of fire they are both itch and scratch..and i find a dirty great flea!...and so i frontline them both and now i have fleas dropping off in their droves!

I HATE FLEAS!!! ive washed and dried their blankets so they have clean bedding and in the mean time i hope the font line works....(siad it was okay on packet to use on kittens) ive washed all the floors again and washed my girls bedding also....paranoid or waht! i have had an infestation in teh past and its not any fun!!!

so tomorrow another trip out to get more frontline and carpet spray! (we have mainly wood or ceramic floors so its not too bad....)

Fern keeps crying for me!....then runs up my leg....i fear that they both miss mum terribly and i wonder if they were too young to leave the nest....poor little mites!

I agree and would give the the vets a call

Bazsmum · « **Reply #39 on:** November 24, 2009, 18:20:11 PM »

Hope little one is gonna be okay, like said before they can go downhill so fast, especially if burning energy through play! I'd give the vets a ring again explaining what is happening and that you have just had them seen, maybe little one needs something.....In the meantime I would try a bit of natural yoghurt and try and keep the fluids up! Best of luck and do let us know how you get on!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #37 on:** November 24, 2009, 01:35:18 AM »

Awww you sound so happy with your new charges Purrdy1.

purrdy1 · « **Reply #35 on:** November 23, 2009, 18:45:24 PM »

poos firming up! and not looking (or smelling as bad!!!

)

both girls are CRAZY! I tell you dashing about and are into EVERYTHING!

My son has made a play area and it includes tubes, posts, boxes, feathers and blankets!

they are soooo playful and i heard Fern Purr for the first time today! she snuggled with me this morning!!!

both girls are eating well and i have some special kitten food from the vet to give them which they seem to be enjoying!

they really are a handful! but i wouldnt have it any other way!

thanks for all your good wishes, cant wait to get photos to show you!

Hope the poo is the right colour, size and texture this morning

I think you are going to have so much fun with these 2 when they are both fighting fit.

Mary

Bazsmum · « **Reply #33 on:** November 22, 2009, 23:33:35 PM »

You must be feeling better now!

Sending positive healing vibes for the little minxes to continue to thrive in your care!

purrdy1 · « **Reply #32 on:** November 22, 2009, 22:29:28 PM »

yes back in two weeks unless they appear to be poorly in which case take them back....I have antibiotic eye stuff for twiggy and have to bathe her eyes individually and not le them have any form of cat milk......(ummmm silly me!)

all in all they are much brighter and right now mummy has prepared their bed, nice hot water bottle and fleecy blankets....BLISSS!!!

clarenmax · « **Reply #31 on:** November 22, 2009, 20:35:28 PM »

So pleased to hear they've perked up and are eating and producing more solid stools

They can be such a worry, but you've done a wonderful thing for these babes, and I'm sure once they're more settled they will amaze you at the speed they grow big and strong

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #30 on:** November 22, 2009, 20:30:38 PM »

So glad these two are so much brighter

.

Whatever you do Purdy, don't try searching Teresa's posts on the subject of stools as you'll find far too many refernces to said subject and may come across a bit of a surprise

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #29 on:** November 22, 2009, 19:42:12 PM »

Glad to hear they are much better. How old did the vet say they were, I am assuming less than 8 weeks if they need another 2 weeks before vacc?

Debsymiller (Rufus' mum) · « **Reply #28 on:** November 22, 2009, 19:39:17 PM »

Great news- so pleased! They are just gorgeous!

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #27 on:** November 22, 2009, 19:37:39 PM »

Great news!

sheryl · « **Reply #26 on:** November 22, 2009, 19:07:17 PM »

Oh thank goodness - what a relief, I think we were all starting to get really worried about these little ones (when you are a member of Purrs your furbabies have lots of doting auties) I am so pleased to hear they are improving xxx

Karon · « **Reply #25 on:** November 22, 2009, 19:06:11 PM »

Great news, I've been wondering how they were doing and was hoping no news was good news, too

maryas · « **Reply #24 on:** November 22, 2009, 19:04:36 PM »

So pleased for all of you - yes, there are lots of strange things that make us happy with cats

What a relief for you.

Mary

purrdy1 · « **Reply #23 on:** November 22, 2009, 18:54:13 PM »

they seem to be producing stools now rather than dihorrea and they are much brighter.....i think someone in another thread said we are pleased at the simplest things!!!

i have to take them back in two weeks for first vacs!...thatll be fun!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #22 on:** November 22, 2009, 18:48:59 PM »

Oh I do hope so and are they both eating and tummys OK? Lots more cuddles for them

Janeyk · « **Reply #21 on:** November 22, 2009, 18:48:48 PM »

yay! great news

purrdy1 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 22, 2009, 18:45:30 PM »

OMG kittens full of life today...took to vet and she said too young for vaccinations checked them over and said bring back in a couple of weeks!! both of them eating and drinking she said it was probably the trauma of move and change in diet that has upset them but has asked for stool sample to test.

Both of them are like different kittens today!!!

I cannot beleive it!

thanks for all your happy vibes!

sheryl · « **Reply #19 on:** November 22, 2009, 18:41:41 PM »

Have just got home and was hoping for some positive news - I really hope that no news is good news.

Thinking of you and the babies Purrdy

Bazsmum · « **Reply #18 on:** November 22, 2009, 15:55:54 PM »

Oh Purdy, I do hope you and the little babes are all okay....We are all a bunch of worriers and we would hate for you to be sad!

Please let us know how you got on! Positive vibes for the little pretties to be okay!

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #17 on:** November 22, 2009, 15:21:41 PM »

Oh no! I didnt log on at all yesterday as I was up to my eyes - but I'm sorry to hear the kittens are poorly, hope the vet has sorted them out and they improve at home with your TLC

maryas · « **Reply #16 on:** November 22, 2009, 12:47:44 PM »

Hope you and the kitties are all ok Purrdy. Don't bottle anything up - we are all here to support each other.

Mary

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #15 on:** November 22, 2009, 10:59:48 AM »

Do hope the kittens are still with you and that you have got them to a vet, sending lots of good vibes for both

JackSpratt · « **Reply #14 on:** November 22, 2009, 10:58:26 AM »

Hope Twiglet and Fern are doing OK today. Purrdy, it's not just you that falls for the "undercat."

I think a lot of us have a soft spot for them.

Keep us updated.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #13 on:** November 22, 2009, 10:17:40 AM »

Fingers crossed they got through the night, and the vet can see them today. Dehydrated kittens need a lot of encouragement to drink, as it does stop them eating.

sheryl · « **Reply #12 on:** November 22, 2009, 10:05:37 AM »

I couldnt sleep last night thinking of these 2 precious little ones - I hope the vet visit goes well today and I am sending lots of love, huggles and healing vibes their way xxx

Big

for you Purrdy xxx

Kirst · « **Reply #11 on:** November 22, 2009, 08:47:30 AM »

Hoping and praying that they both made it safely through the night. Good luck with the vets today.

bonnielass · « **Reply #10 on:** November 22, 2009, 08:35:08 AM »

Im sorry to hear the little ones are,nt feeling well

If Twiglet is dehydrated then she really needs some fluid as little ones can go downhill very quickly.
You need to contact a vet today if possible
Sending lots of positive vibes for these 2 little ones

purrdy1 · « **Reply #9 on:** November 22, 2009, 00:23:27 AM »

thank you for your supportive replies, im feeling so sensitive right now, its like everything that could have gone wrng this year HAS!

Both of the little ones have been quite spritely this evening and Fern especially so!, her stools seems to be less like dihorrea but twiglet has not eaten since this morning and doesnt seem at all interested in food or water!!!

I have cheked to see if they are dehydrated and i think that twiggy is

I have tried a pippette to get some fluid into her but she is simply not interested and prefers to curl up with the hottie bottle in her bed...(dont worry its well insulated!) They both look so content in there!..its hard to belive that they are poorly....

Trust me to fall for a couple of sick little waifs.....that is me all over....

im not religious but im saying a little prayer to get them through the night to thier gaurdian angels!!

I

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #8 on:** November 21, 2009, 22:58:21 PM »

Dont feel bad but I have just posted what the others have said on your other thread, young kittens losing at both ends can go down in hours.

You have saved them from something worse happening to them cos you love cats and have some knowledge, so dont feel bad but please watch out for both over night until they see a vet tomorow. They need to be kept warm and hydrated and you need to find out how old and what sort of food they should be eating.

Lots of luck over night with them

JackSpratt · « **Reply #7 on:** November 21, 2009, 22:49:14 PM »

Purrdy, I'm sure you're doing the best you can. I hope the vet visit goes well for Twiglet and Fern - it's terrifying when a cat of any age gets poorly, but I think it's that bit scarier when they're really young or really old.

Forgot to say.....extremely cute new arrivals you have there!

maryas · « **Reply #6 on:** November 21, 2009, 22:46:51 PM »

Purrdy don't feel bad about this - you've rescued 2 little darlings and I'm sure Twiglet and Fern will be ok.
