Fingers crossed you get a better answer T, it isn't good to have so many different diagnosis.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #26 on:** August 27, 2007, 10:38:54 AM »

Of one thing I am certain the vet is very mistaken with his diagnosis and I will no doubt be taking Felicia and babies back tomorrow. Mum is feeding and I am supplementing,the cleaning and toileting is all down to me. The kittens are lapping with encouragement but are more interested in trying to eat the wood based litter.
At least tomorrow my vet is back from holiday and maybe I will get something sorted;think I am going to complain because I am sick of having more than one consultation and being given a different diagnosis each time; Angelica was given at least 5 different diagnosies and look at the end result.
Time for vets to pull their socks up.

I am wondering if the 2 little tabbies on bottom pic look like Hiawatha and Minniehaha I guess the naming committee will say NO

Awwww they are all beautiful wee bundles of fur

and I think the names suit them

Glad things are seeming better now T, good luck with them all.

Feel a bit more positive today,realised hands are just as good as paddles

Managed to get the kittens to lap some food while mum was distracted by a chicken breast.

Glad they are ok for now how do they know its bone?

He doesn`t,he is guessing on what he can feel and if things run true to form it will be something else entirely(my own vet is abroad)

I will keep my fingers crossed they will all be ok

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #17 on:** August 24, 2007, 11:41:51 AM »

Vet thinks the problem lies with Felicia who seems to have quite a few undigested bones in her tummy from when she was living out, she has had injections and kittens been given antibiotics. Got to see how things go over the weekend,all are bright so not too concerned at minute. One of the girls has been a bit shaky since she came in and Geoff thinks she may be a very mild C.H. cat.
As my glasses are just about useless I got vet to sex them, 3girls and a boy.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #16 on:** August 24, 2007, 08:17:02 AM »

Good luck at the vets.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #15 on:** August 23, 2007, 19:35:26 PM »

Good luck at the vets tomorrow

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #14 on:** August 23, 2007, 17:34:19 PM »

Just had to bath one of the kittens,his rear end looked like he had been painted with egg yolk and mum was only interested in her food. Vet appointment made for 9.20 tomorrow was hoping mum (Felicia) could have settled in a bit more first. Hopefully I am worrying about nothing but prefer to check just in case.

Oh T I wish I could wave a magic wand

Mum and babies are gorgeous

Mum looks like my boys

I have seen first hand the wonderful Pawsinn and the unconditional love and care you shower the residents with 24/7

I put my hands up and admit I couldn't do it. You are one in a million T and we all love you to bits

kelly-joy · « **Reply #11 on:** August 21, 2007, 11:48:15 AM »

Aww they are just adoreable. If you ever need any help in fostering any cats or kittens then just pm me and I will try to help out.

I began 18 years ago when I planned and really thought I could save the animal world

About the same time as me then, I think I started around 1989, it could have been '88 not too sure. I know it was either just before or just after my accident. Mind you it must have been before as after I was of no use to anyone for a long time and the cats including my own were my reason for getting up in a morning.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #8 on:** August 21, 2007, 08:08:24 AM »

I really feel for you all when I read posts like this, and it makes me feel guilty that i only help such a small number of cats, and am deliberately keeping my numbers low. You might not be able to save the animal world, but just look at how many cats lives you have made a difference to, and that is what is important. Good luck, and i do hope things get better soon.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #7 on:** August 21, 2007, 00:00:40 AM »

T, I really know that feeling, my vet bill hasn't gone below £500 for the last few months and everytime I manage to pay some off, I get another bill like the kitty amputation........you will get through this I'm sure

I've still got 5 kittens to sort out but nowhere for them to go as yet, I've got the pregnant mum to the amputation kitty to get in and the other kitten, but somehow we manage, we have to because what will happen if we don't

Linda (Bengalbabe) · « **Reply #6 on:** August 20, 2007, 23:36:51 PM »

Teresa, I can remember asking you some months ago now how you manage to cope financially and emotionally with all you take on. You said to me everytime you think things have reached rock bottom something always turns up (or words to that effect). I know you will find your way through this too

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #5 on:** August 20, 2007, 23:28:53 PM »

I dont know how you do it T.

Just wish there were more people like you.

Kiss Mummy and babies for me x x x x x

Oh T.. this breaks my heart. Mum is lovely as are the puds.

I began 18 years ago when I planned and really thought I could save the animal world;all I can say is What a fool I was and probably still am.Sadly things are never going to get better I suppose all we can hope for now is to make a difference to the ones we can and pray for all the others.

Heres the mum and four babies at least these are now safe.

I am seriously hoping that my phone dies peacefully and soon.

when will it all end.

I just don't know, it gets worse day by day I have been doing this for about 17 yrs now and I have never known it so bad, every year we say it can't get any worse and every day it does.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #1 on:** August 20, 2007, 17:37:51 PM »

It just gets worse and worse and worse again,there is no room at the Inn and somehow I have to squeeze in yet another mum and her 4 kittens who are living outside,we have been full to capacity no I lie overful for weeks;I have always made a point of never mentioning costs but the purse strings are well and truly overstretched too and my own batteries are running on low when will it all end.
Sob over better go and see what I can magic
