Once again I have a very ill kitten.
I just don't understand this. He comes from a private home, his mother rarely went outside, she went on a walk one day and got home pregnant (duh, that happens when you don't castrate early enough!)
Anyway, the kittens were healthy, Fynn was round and happy and ate well. He vomitted a few times, but that's not very scary I think. But today he started having yellow diarrhoea and was looking very sick. So I just went to the vet and he has a high fever. He lost a lot of weight and got rehydrated. He also got Metacam and AB. The vet wanted to keep him overnight, but I'm a good nurse so I could bring him home.
So not much sleeping tonight I guess but I don't care. I would happily stay home tomorrow because my new job frustrates me, but we do need the money :(
Please let's hope he gets better very soon

-
i do hope fynn will recover quick :hug:
-
Sending positive healing vibes to baby Fynn~~~~~C'mon little man! :Luv2: :hug: :hug:
-
He refuses to eat, what can I do?
-
:( Poor boy, I would take him back to the vets and let them keep him in as advised if he's getting no better
-
He might need some fluids, if they are a bit dehydrated it will stop them eating, so I would definitely speak to the vets. Fingers crossed for him
-
Just got home from work, couldn't stop thinking about him.
Forced some ORS down him, will continue the rest of the day. Not going anywhere I guess, want to stay with him. Also forced a little bit of food down him, about the amount that keeps an ant going...
-
No harm in syringe feeding when little one's arnt to good, hope you manage to get enough down him WL and sending big healing vibes that he will perk up soon! :Luv: :hug: :hug:
Do you think it may be the same as what little Elliot had? Just wondering if something nasty could of been laying dormant around the home? ;) :hug:

It could be. Strange thing is that Dorian was healthy and eating when he came here and got ill the second week, same goes for Elliot. Now Elliot coming from a shelter, I can understand and maybe that's the reason Fynn got it from him. Elliot must have outgrown it but staying bearer I suppose.
Damn, Fynn was such a round baby last week, and he went down now by at least 150g.
But!!! He's fever's down now from 41 to 39.5!! :cheer:

For those who like reading medecal stuff

I'm sure now he has that :'(
So hydrating is of course vital
-
Great news that his temp has started to drop! Keep up the good word WL! :Luv: :hug:
Just had a quick look at your link and it said about the parvovirus.... Dogs get that and I had heard that it came from cats!
Very medical indeed! :Crazy: :hug:

http://maxshouse.com/feline_panleukopenia.htm (http://maxshouse.com/feline_panleukopenia.htm)
I'm sure now he has that :'(
Paneleukopenia is Feline Enteritis which they get vaccinated against at 9 wks or so, I imagine he has been vaccinated against enteritis (panleu) though? At least his fever's come down. :hug:
-
no, he's not vacc yet, he's too young. He's 8 weeks now.
His temp went up again :(
I just gave him metacam, if he's not better in an hour, he goes on a drip at vet's.
I don't want to lose him, after such a short period I do love him deeply already
-
Oh WL!!! :hug: :hug: :hug:
Sending positive vibes to darling Fynn.... C'mon little man you can do it! :crossed: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Taking him to vets now, his fever is not down
-
Sending so many positive vibes your way hunnie, come on Fynn baby, you can do it :hug: xxxx
-
Sending all the healing vibes I can muster :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
It's now exactly 4 weeks ago that I lost Fergus, I cannot take it if Fynn would die at vet's. :'(
I have to shoot a wedding on Saturday, anyone who wants to take over??
-
If he has enteritis you need to keep him away from the others, fingers crossed its some other bug in his tummy
-
I'm breaking down, I can't handle this, not again not my sweet kitten
-
If he has enteritis you need to keep him away from the others, fingers crossed its some other bug in his tummy
must be realistic, it's probably Elliot that got this into my home and Elliot had some immunity.
Can't take this
-
Sending lots of positive vibes for little Fynn :hug: :hug:

The infection could have come from anywhere WL, a lot of infections can be airborne and kittens are always at risk until they have had their innoculations - stay strong Hun xxx
-

Sending lots of Mega healing vibes that Fynn gets better really soon :hug: :hug:
-
I cried so much last night, I went to bed crying.
I would so much like to stay at home this morning, I dread a possible call from the vet.
As I work in a call center, we are not allowed mobile on our desk, but my vet would leave a message. So I hope to get some positive news when I have my break.
I could call in sick but I had a sale yesterday that I still have to register.
-
Fingers crossed for positive news today.
-
Fingers crossed for positive news today.
Me too :hug:
-
I really do hope you get some good news. Sending you positive thoughts. :hug:
-
I missed a mail from my OH at work so I called him during break. Fynn was a lot better. When I got home, I phoned the vet, but now he was rather quiet again.
I'm still very careful in my happiness. He will have to stay there anyway because he needs constant attention which we cannot provide tomorrow.
Thx already for the positive vibes!! :hug:
-
Glad you decided to let them keep him in he's in the best place and hope he is soon well enough to come home again x
-
Lots positive vibes coming your way.
I think the words are cautious optimism, and there's nothing wrong with that honey :hug: :hug:
-
Yes, cautious optimism indeed and he'll be well-looked after there :hug:
-
So glad little Fynn is still fighting.... Them drips can work wonders you know! More positive healing vibes being sent~~~~ :Luv: :hug:
-
Just phoned once more, vet still not positive, he was very poorly, getting his medicine now and hope for the best...
-
SEnding lots of good vibes for Fynn and hope he is back home fit and well very soon :hug:
-
Keeping everything crossed for you and Fynn :hug:
-
Had call from vet and rushed over. I'm losing him. He has the tiniest chance, if anyone can believe, I can't anymore. Expecting an update call in half an hour but deep down, I ............
I will have to do the wedding tomorrow, after that, I'll crash and dissapear from the world I think
-
A tiniest chance is a chance all the same hunnie, never give up hope until you know there is none :hug: xxxx
-
My thoughts are with you, Woodlandcats :hug:
-
I agree with Clare a tiny tiny chance is still a chance and dont give up on him :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Does the vet say what has made him so ill?
-
I do hope he will pull through, I really feel for you, :hug: :hug:
-
I will be praying for you and little Flynn and hope that tiny chance is taken and he can fight this, :hug: :hug:
-
:hug:
Hopefully Fynn can pull through.

Sending positive vibes for Fynn and :hug: for you.x

Crying once again, you are all so sweet!!
I was not called at night, so that's at least a good thing, but I fear calling anyway.
U/D, I did call of course, he's not worse not better really though he's not lying down anymore. But she fears for his kidneys. He stays dehydrated no matter what.
This is going to be the longest day in my life, if anything happens the vet will inform my husband first. Imagine her calling me in the midst of shooting, that would be disaster. I will have to put on a brave face today and work for my bridezilla :shocked:
-
I hope Fynn surprises everyone. :care:
-
I just went to see him, or rather, I wanted to, but there was noone opening the door, so I tried to have a look through the window, could not see much, but what I saw was a very ill kitten just lying there. But I could not stand the thought of going to work and not having seen him anymore. I had hoped to cuddle him.
Never ever hoped more for a miracle to happen
-
I had a feeling you may not make it into work.... I would of done the same! If he is not now lying down and is standing up is that not a good sign?
C'mon Fynn, these vibes are strong, the thoughts are for as long as he needs them! WL.... :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I went to bed last night thinking of little Fynn and couldnt sleep - got up at 3am and lit a pink candle for him - come on little one, we are all rooting for you xxx
Sending more love, huggles and positive vibes xxx
-
Miracles do happen :wow: and im praying that one comes along for little Flynn and helps him through this and of course a great big :hug: just for you WL dont give up on him :hug: :hug:
-
I hope he has pulled through today :wish:
-
Thinking of you and Fynn and hoping all is well! :grouphug:
