Thank you so much Chelsea and Tzeetzee’s mama :). After a VERY long weekend I’m thrilled to say they are now eating on their own. WHOOP WHOOP!!!! I must have looked up every website available and every video on youtube to get the feeding right. They certainly weren’t fond of it but when I started to relax so did they. Feline parvovirus is also know as feline distemper, maybe that rings a bell? It’s the first thing kittens are vaccinated against. They’ve been to the vet everyday and incredibly Mona gained 100gs over night and Karl gained 200gs. The vet had to double check his weight and couldn’t help but laugh. He’s being very conservative about their chances but is thrilled they’re gaining weight.
Karl is still very small but he only got fluids tonight and Mona didn’t need anything expect for a pet from him :). Tomorrow is public holiday here so if they get sick over night I can bring them in but otherwise we can wait until Thursday. If they’ve gained weight by Thursday then they won’t need any treatment. My fingers are crossed because I paid a shocking bill this evening so let’s hope they keep eating :).
Basically until they both reach 2kg and Karl’s diarrhea stops the vet won’t be 100% happy (he’s nervous about giving them the all clear until that point).
To Tzeetzee’s Mama, I’m relieved to say that they haven’t held the assist feeding against me and do come to me as soon as I sit on the sofa. Your posts have amazing, thank you so much for all the support!
The saga continues :). I’ll keep you posted. Thanks guys!!!
