Hi,

I hope this is allowed because they have already seen a vet.

We took in two 10 week kittens on Wednesday. They were reasonably energetic and ate and drank when we got them.

Yesterday, we noticed a downward turn in their health. Neither was eating and one was vomiting, had diarrhoea and was very lethargic. We thought it could be the stress of being uprooted from their previous home but we decided to take them to the out of hours vet anyway.

The vet gave the one with vomiting/diarrhoea an antibiotic and an anti sickness injection. He also prescribed them both prebiotics and this special food which is for digestive issues. We have also been offering them plain chicken. They are still refusing food, although I believe they eat small amounts at night. There was solid poo in their litter box this morning which suggests their stomach issues could be clearing up.

They are still very lethargic, not playing etc. One just wants to sit on her own and the other seeks you out for comfort.

What else can we do for them? They have chicken in their bowls which most cats would demolish but they are just uninterested. Could this just be stress? We will of course take them back to the vets if needed.

The vet said because they are not yet vaccinated it could panleukopenia. We have already booked them in for their vaccinations. I have looked this up and am now very anxious.

Inspired by our little Bean, here's my pumpkin for this year. Happy Halloween and Blessed Samhain 🧡🍁🎃🍂🧡

For the first hour he was loving all the attention from his “new friends” that came to see him but then the noise and the people got a bit overwhelming so we went into the back room for a cuddle while dad finishes handing out candy. He did so good! 🧡🎃

Meet Lord Reginald Longsocks aka Reggie.

I rescued him a week and a half ago and I’m so obsessed with him already. My vet guesses he’s 8-10 weeks old.

My wife found this little girl last night in our sunroom alone. I'm guessing she's between 4-6 weeks old but I could be off on that. We live out in the country wooded area pretty sure it's just a stray but it's got a strong meow and seems healthy weight so I can't imagine it's been separated from it's mother for very long. I've tried letting it wander outside on it's own as I watch from a distance for a few hours with no luck of sight of mom yet. She'll just cry and cry and cry when she's left alone out there. She is able to eat some softened kitty food I gave her so I'm assuming she's at least past 4 weeks and she can use the litter box (I do already own 1 adult cat, it's not hers she's been fixed already, also looks nothing like her lol). Going to keep trying to find mom for a few days at least if we can.

I'm so glad this little gentleman wakes me up at 5am, 430 at the earliest and not two am like some other stories I've heard.

The best.
