I have everythign crossed for the wee man Lesley.   Herbie was in a very similar situation when he was born by cescarean (sp?) and spent the first few days as a blue kitten after the effects of the anaethestic. We had several rocky moments with him due to this but his fighting spirit pulled him through.    It sounds as though he is a fighter hun... so I have everything crossed that he will do as Herbie did and fight on.

Herbie sends big nose rubs and caring head bumps to little Tyson.... says he's ready for nursing duties anytime! ;)
he'll show the little one how to do it! :)

I am glad he is continuing to eat, even if there is issues with weighing him.

How is the little man getting along?

He's still holding his own, sometimes he feeds better than others but at least he is feeding and pooing so things are obviously going in and out.  I weighed him again yesterday and he was only 90g so he seems to have lost a little bit of weight or it may just be that I did not weigh him accurately the first day - he certainly is diddy.  Will try and weigh him daily to see if he is gaining, but being so little it is difficult to know how accurate my scales are being and thw weight changes with every little movement. 

I must admit, compared to the other kittens, who are now growing out of control and weigh in the region of 320g he is the smallest little kitten I have every handreared - he really does sit in the palm of my hand, but all the time he is eating of his own accord there is hope and I shall hang on to that.  The one thing I will say is that he has large paws, so if he does pull through he may turn into a big kitty.

Thank  you for all your support, I definitely appreciate it and I keep passing on all the little messages to Tyson so I am sure he appreciates it too :thanks:

Tyson decided to scare the living daylights out of his mum and have a bad evening.  Didn't want to feed and seemed to get lethargic and, although in a temperature controlled intensive care unit, seemed cold.

I gave him a final dose of kittystim at about midnight and stayed with him until 3am at which time tried another little feed.  Euereka, he decidd to suckle again and did a nice poo so don't know whether he had a slight stomach ache or was just feeling a bit down.

Has fed twice more since then, seems much warmer again and more settled so hopefully he is just trying to keep me on my toes.  If he is, he's doing a real good job as I was very distressed at his condition last night and thought all my good feelings had been too much too soon.

Hopefully today he will continue to improve.  Will weigh him again later to see if he has gained any weight - was 97g when he arrived.  Makes the 2 week old kittens look enormous :rofl:

Will keep you all up-dated.

well, Tyson is now 24 hours old ;D and holding his own very well.  He managed to get lost in his blankets during the night and I was trying to find him all wrapped up and he was screaming his little head off.

Had a lovely cuddle after feeding inside my dressing down and I think he would have happily stayed there all night.

His suck reflex is excellent and he managed 3ml in his last feed so I am really pleased with him.

I think all the purrs positive vibes are working. :Luv2: :thanks:
