The 3 Musketeers Are Doing Well

From the fosterer:
Soon after Big white fell sick, it was Orange’s turn. He showed the same symptoms as Big white one, unable to lift their heads, dilated pupils and was limpy. Vet advised me to give them glucose syrup every 2 hours. At midnight, both looked really sick and was hardly moving. I was so worried of loosing them.
1. Big whitey still sick, but a bit better than before. Orange one looked 100times better than last night (Thank God!) but Big white yet to recover fully. Both had milk today, which is a good sign.Their tummy still distended. My vet cant de-worm them, they are too weak. he suspect it could be the parasites that are sucking away all their energy. Around 4am, Orange one had a bit of milk instead of Glucose..and he walked around the room a bit. Big white did the same, but was weaker than Orange. This morning and afternoon, I gave them milk again, they drank well. Hope all the worms from their body is out. Big white is as sleep now..Orange is playing with Tiny. I’m still keeping a close watch on Big white, will keep you posted.
2.Tiny still pooping out worms. I cant remember how many I’ve seen so far. Tiny drinks more milk than the rest, still has that Gremlin look (excuse for calling Tiny that, the vet lovingly mentioned Tiny reminded him of Gremlin), very active and very demanding. I have to let Tiny walk around the room freely when I get her out from their sleeping place, if not I cant handle the meow..its too loud.
Attached are the photos i just took an hour ago. Sorry, cant take much of Big White, was afraid the camera clicking sound would disturb his sleep. More updates tomorrow.

He pees on soft towels.

Feisty little girl power!
Self-made toilet of sorts.
Er…peeing elsewhere?
I want!!
Big One, recovering.
More updates:
Didn’t do any test for FIP (as the vet who diagnosed him initially was a different person). I took them to another vet yesterday evening, the vet touched his tummy and he suspect parasites might be causing the diarrhoea and I hope its the parasites
I will bring them to the vets if Big doesn’t get well within the next few days. Will keep a close watch. Please don’t thank me, thank their lucky stars.
Sorry, I forgot to state their gender. Big and Orange males and Tiny is a girl, that explains her vocal ability. While I was cooking, she was sound asleep inside the pockets on my apron. Tiny wakes up even with a bit of noise and once she wakes up, she would sing her heart out till I carry her and put her in-between my hair, so my apron pockets keeps her quiet.
Let’s pray it is NOT FIP as FIP is scary and deadly. I hope it is only worms or parasites and all three will get well soon.
We have offered our medical subsidy should the fosterer require help.
