Title: 3 kittens with flu
Post by: nessa (A C S ) on September 24, 2008, 01:21:59 AM
Have three new kittens here they are about three weeks old were in pretty bad shape when they arrived at about 2pm this afternoon, :'( eyes are very sore third eye lids are up on them all. All three have runny noses and are a bit chesty
I had them at the vets this afternoon all three are on antibotice for the next 10 days and fucithalmic for the eyes
They did have temps this afternoon but it is now normal. The 2 black and white ones love spitting at me everytime I pick them up to feed them and little tortie is too sick to care all three are just after being fed and are gone to sleep with full tummys so I am now going to bed my self  :hug:

Kittys have been up and down today poor little mites, eyes are still in a shocking condition  all three have been wormed with milbimax, little tortie is starting to cry for food, the two others spend there time either sleeping or spitting at me, None of the three have went for a poo yet but then again they were 24hrs without food that I know of god only knows how long before that
Hopefully they will start to feel better soon

The other five in my hall are still as spitty as ever and hate me with a passion  but ther is nothing wrong with there appitites

Just a tad concerned about the Milbemax if kittens are only 3 weeks old as generally it should not be used till 6 weeks.
Hope they all improve soon.

Hope they all improve soon.

I also was concerned about that as their site says kittens from 0.5kg

I though Panacur was used for babies?

I have always used parazole on very small kits as it is a liquid and eaiser to give and more gentle on the tummy.
I was told by the vet and the cattery manager to give theses guys a half a kitten milbimax each.
The vet that I go to dosnt stock parazole or Panacur and to drag the kittens the kittens the other side of town isnt feasiable as they are too poorly.
I do have panacur here but it is for adults
Sometimes we have to work with what we have and I think that sucks
