Rachel has just had to take one of the kittens to the vets as an emergency, as he went completely flat - his heart rate is sky high, about 220, so he has had a steroid jab and she has to give him beta blockers twice a day, but it is very touch and go - he is only 6 weeks old. And not only are we very worried about him, and him pulling through, but also for his 2 brothers - these are Kizzy's babies, they haven't had a good life so far - 2 of her 5 babies died before we got them at 2 weeks old, she barely had enough milk so we had to separate mum and babies and Rach has been handrearing these since they were nearly 3 weeks old, and I think it is debatable how much antibodies they got. Apart from being slow on eating, they were doing really well until this, so fingers crossed he can pull through, and the other two will be fine, especially as it is a weekend!!

Thanks everyone, I haven't rang Rachel yet this morning, but will be doing so soon - the little boy is called Tiger, and is everyones favourite.
ETA - just spoke to them, he is fine this morning, although we will obviously be keeping a close eye on all of them.

Rachel here. Tigar made it through the night and is soooooo much better this morning. I was up till 4 am keeping an eye on him. He is still not great although a million times better than last night. He is normally really playful and wont leave me alone but he is just snuggled up today, but still alive, I can't believe it as I actually thought he had died yesterday on the way to the vets. He hates the beater blockers and tries to spit it out little money. Keep send those vibes for tiger (named by the kids)
-
So pleased Tiger is picking up ;D Still sending the positive vibes :hug:
-
Hows the little one doing?
-
Sorry, forgot to update this thread - Tiger got a clean bill of health on Mon, as did his two brothers, so no more meds, and hopefully just a blip!! So glad things are turning out well for this family, I dread to think what would have happened if we hadn't got that phone call.
-
That is Good News ;D

It certainly is although Rach is going to hate having to home these 3.
