Hi

Can I ask the obvious question.  Has your sister consulted the vet yet?  When they are so very very young I think the vet should be contacted  :hug:

Hi, yes she is taking her tomorrow. we have been searching the internet to see if anyone else has had the same problem - i guess we are keeping our fingers crossed that nothing will be too wrong with her. She thought at first the blood was left over in the cord and was not too worried but then she has noticed some more.

I have the sister of the mother of the kittens (if that makes sense) and we have to feed her a special diet because of crystals in her bladder - I am wondering if it is the same thing or if she is too young to have that.

thank you
Caroline

Problems with kittens that young cant wait that long and would recommend you ring the vet immediately and get professional advice.
