A lady met me at the college today when we were having the F3 fair. She told me the two kittens whose mother-cat had just been spayed, were very sickly, and she had just brought them to a vet but the vet was busy with surgery and could not attend to them.
I asked her how serious it was and she said it looked very serious. I quickly called our panel vet and they said she could bring them in.
So she brought one of the kittens in, followed by another. It was a case of worms and one of the kittens was already very weak.
From the lady this evening:
It is very weak. suspected worms have been feeding in it's tummy. First photo is taken at the vet.
Second and third taken at home. I am currently feeding it every half hour. I am nervous, afraid i might do it wrong or hurt the tiny kitten. but i will do my best.
I brought the second kitten for check up too and it too has lots of worms in tummy. The vet gave it some medicine.
Anyways, apparently the first vet was upset that i brought the kitten away to your vet and called your vet to complain. I hope i did not do anything wrong. i did not intend to cause any unpleasantness to anybody. Though i did pay for the service at the first vet.
Will update you again tomorrow. I need to keep looking at the clock as not to miss feeding time. Thanks so much for your help and glad i met you at your college.
They looked just like the Blueys, don't they?
A few hours later, the lady called saying the weaker one had passed away.
It could be a case of being too late in seeking treatment because kittens go down extremely fast. She said she had noticed this kitten was weak and not active for two days already.
NEVER delay. Never ever delay with kitten and puppies.
The other one is still alright. We pray she will pull through.
According to the lady, these kittens were with the mother-cat all the while. Yet, this could happen. It only goes to show that while being with the mother is the best, that may not be always the case. Just like we humans, some mothers do not really know how to take care of their babies.
May the little kitten be in a better place now.
Today's treatment for the kittens is fully-sponsored from our funds.
