Hey Angie, we're fine today thanks!

Pop is such a wee character already bless him. So fingers crossed as he has already left his wee mark on our hearts!

His eyes opened late last night so that was wonderful and another step in the right direction. His eye infection is settling down now which is good news.

He is sleeping soundly at the moment... in fact... rather like a brick!! out for the count and completely burst! He has such a hard life you know!

Will post piccies later. Hubby got one late last night when his eyes just opened so it was so cute.

Hope all is well with Pop today

and you of course Sarah

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #76 on:** February 11, 2008, 22:11:54 PM »

thanks JS.

No, pip was the little one from the free site who I was amazed made it to 8 days !! bless his little heart.

Pop is from another litter who's litter mates all died for various reasons (mainly mum) and was about 4 days premature we reckon at least. He is certainly holding his own and is fighting on and full of cattitude already at only 11 days old!!! lol

We have absolutely everything crossed for Pop at the moment and are hoping we are on top of the eye infection. He is feeding well, in fact very well. so all we can do is to continue to nurse him and hope that he can make it through. He still has a very long way to go yet but we will certainly do our best for the little smout.

I've not been reading this thread for fear of reading...well, what I read really. Sarah, you did an amazing job and I'm sure Pip was aware of the love you showed him despite his tender age.

Pip.

Is Pop the little guy who was on the free site? Hope he's continuing to thrive.

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #74 on:** February 11, 2008, 18:58:33 PM »

Fingers and everything else crosses here

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #73 on:** February 11, 2008, 14:06:23 PM »

Just a wee update folks. Pop is now 11 days old and no sign of the eyes cracking open yet so my original suspicions of him being a few days premature have been confirmed.

Sadly the wee smout has an eye infection so keeping an eye on that and treating with antibiotics. Besides that he is perky and happy and holding his own.

All fingers, toes, and paws are well and truly crossed here for the wee darling who is now purring his wee heart out.

we'll just have to wait and see what this week holds in store for him!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #72 on:** February 10, 2008, 12:13:49 PM »

Aww, I do hope he continues to thrive.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #71 on:** February 10, 2008, 12:12:01 PM »

thanks Guys, I really appreciate all your kind words

Pop is continuing to hold his own and eating well. He is getting a little stronger and we are sure he has grown a little too. All we can do is keep going as we are and hope that it is enough to get him as far as his wee body will take him. We have all fingers, toes and paws crossed and will keep you posted on how things are going.

So sorry to hear this

So sorry . RIP Little one.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #68 on:** February 09, 2008, 21:42:40 PM »

I am so sorry to hear this, but at least he knew love and warmth, it could have been so different for him, and that is why we do it - however hard it is when we lose them, at least we have made an impact on them and given them the best chance we possibly could. RIP little one.

So sorry to hear this

Pip

gibraltarcat · « **Reply #66 on:** February 09, 2008, 20:02:46 PM »

I'm so sorry to hear the sad news about brave little Pip. Sad for you too after all your loving care for him.

Very best wishes for Pop.

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #65 on:** February 09, 2008, 19:54:58 PM »

Oh Sarah I am so sorry

It's amazing how much of a mark they can make on the world around them in only 8 days isn't it. As you said you did everything you could and you made sure his time was filled with love. I have got everything crossed that little Pop goes from strength to strength and I hope he's not feeling too lonely. Has he got a little alarm clock in with him? (just thinking the tick tock is vaguely similar to a heartbeat)

Have fun at the bridge Pip, look out for my babies as I'm sure they'd love to play and cuddle up with you xxx

caledonia · « **Reply #64 on:** February 09, 2008, 19:10:11 PM »

oh the poor wee man - RIP leittle fella.

So sorry to hear of his loss but know you did all you could and stepped it when it seemed their were no options available.

LesleyW · « **Reply #63 on:** February 09, 2008, 16:37:50 PM »

Sarah, I am so, so sorry. As I said before, these little babes can bring such big heartbreak for such little mites. I know you did everything possible for him and these babes have such a sad start to life the odds are always stacked against them. We must all take heart for the victories, for they are due to our hard work, the sad, sad losses are more often than not due to events before we ever get to them.

My thoughts are with you and Pop, continue to thrive little man.

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #62 on:** February 09, 2008, 16:36:32 PM »

Sarah sorry to hear about Pip Nite Nite wee man sleep well.

Fingers still crossed for Pop

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #61 on:** February 09, 2008, 16:31:31 PM »

Well I have some bad news folks I'm afraid. We lost little Pip.

Although happy and moving about OK-ish yesterday he was getting less agile overnight and eventually gave up his wee fight for life this morning after a blockage in his bowel (we believe) caused a rupture when it cleared suddenly. It could also be purely down to damage to his intestines due to the array of different (and dreadful) substances being put down his wee throat the first couple of days or to the over aggressive stimulation which left the wee fella raw at the back end and may have caused an infection to go into the gut which the anti biotics couldn't clear in time. He really didn't have the best of starts at all and its a miracle he made it to 8 days in all honesty.

We have done all that we could for the wee fella including having him seen by our vet a couple of days ago after being concerned that his bloated tummy and toilet problems may cause complications although limited as to what can be done for a kitten so young and small.

We are saddened but know we have done everything we could for little Pip would despite his short time in this world has left his mark. We now have to concentrate on pop.

One thing we are very sure of is that the death of Pip is in NO WAY related to Pop, who continues to do well for now but who also has an extremely long long way to go before we could happily say he is in a safe zone.

We are continuing to keep our fingers crossed for Pop and hope that he can continue his fight for life.

Sarah, they are beautiful - lots of purrs and cuddles to you all - do hope that Pip and Pop continue to do well.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #51 on:** February 07, 2008, 18:59:11 PM »

hi folks

Both are holding their own and feeding well. Each day they survive is a step in the right direction we always hope. The improvement in the white one (Pop) since having the company of of Pip has been great and her colouration is improving slowly and her strength gaining with the extra exercise and stimulation.

Not much else to say for now really... as they are still SOOO young but they appear to be happy little tikes.

Pic today!

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #50 on:** February 07, 2008, 17:14:47 PM »

Hope they are both well today

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #49 on:** February 07, 2008, 09:05:09 AM »

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #48 on:** February 07, 2008, 08:05:44 AM »

Aww, fingers crossed with them.
