Fading kitten syndrome

I am hand raising g them btw. Since day 1.

Okay update the girl is also sick. Not dangerous yet. They are both on antibiotics. I started tube feeding the boy because he wouldn’t swallow. And he look alot better. Still not active, he is alert when he is awake. Both going potty okay. It they have fevers. The boy has been between 100.5 and 103.4
Girl between 98.8 and 101.
Very scary temp for the boy. I cool them down with a cool wet washcloth when they get super high.
The girl has continued to gain weight, though the boy has lost 12 grams today. And didn’t gain anything yesterday. But he got 20 cc of fluids yesterday. So I’m not sure if what he is losing is water weight.
His belly looks a bit distended to me. But I am monitoring it.
Vet said to put them back on kitten formula. I originally had them on goat’s milk. So I am going to slowly put them back on goat’s milk.
Vet said to give 5cc every 2 hours. I usually feed 12 every 3.5 but he was worried we will explode them. But boy has lost weight so we are upping food next feeding.
Thanks for the support. We are hoping to pull these babies through.
Boy weighs 288 grams.
Girl weighs 298. The boy used to always weight more than the girl

His paws were very hot. It was very scary. But the antibiotics have kicked in. Their temps are under 99 now.
I am doing tube feeds. And the boy is now gaining weight back. He eats about 2ml, and then I tube feed the rest. The girl is eating about 7ml. And I tube feed her the rest as well. Both get 11-12 ml every 3.5 hours.
I am keeping track of their temps and weight at every feeding so I know what’s going on. But they are feeling so much better today! I don’t want to speak too soon, but I think they are going to pull through just fine!. They are still not as active as they were, but they are walking around now and being very alert. I will keep an eye for the next week or so while they are on antibiotics. And then some afterwards.
They even had the energy to do a photoshoot today. breathing is back to normal too.i am definitely thankful for this miracle.

Lasha our situations sound very similar. Milkie wouldn’t eat milk. But would drink a little bit of Pedialyte.

I would recommend antibiotics. My babies ended up having g bacterial infection. Vet said if one has it, they can all get it and all needed to be treated just in case. He was right. My girl started getting sick the next day. But luckily the antibiotics started working before she got too bad.

Also tube feeding. The vet can give you a tube. It’s not as scary as it sounds. And it helped my baby live long enough for the antibiotics to start working. Wich was 36 hours.

I know not everyone brings their kittens to the vet, Because kittens passing is such a common thing, but our situations sound so similiar that I think it could definitely benefit.

My vet gave me the smallest bottle of antibiotics, it was 45$. Kinda pricey to me. But he said it was enough to treat 30 kittens. So that’s a plus if you have alot of kittens. they can probably all be treated.
