Hi Betty,
I'm sorry that your "Little Girl" is doing poorly. I'm sorry too, that
I didn't see your post sooner. I looked for an update, but couldn't
find one. How is your baby doing now? I absolutely get what it's like
to have a "heart" kitten and I so feel for you. Has she started to eat
yet? It is so important that you keep her eating, at least something.
Have you started to assist-feed her? Please let us know how she is
doing!

I raised my Little Girl from a
kitten 1 day old as her mom died shortly after giving birth on the day
before Mother's Day 2005. So I have been her only Mommy from the time
that she was a day old. She was the smallest of the litter so she got
extra special care and has been my extra special girl from the
first. I raised four of the five kittens but she was my heart.
Didn't mean for it to turn out that way. It just did. She is a
calico. Beautiful! With a black mask. She had tested negative on
her first test and got her vaccination, however, about 5 weeks ago she
began having breathing problems, so I took her to the vet and she
tested positive this time. She stayed at the vet for a few days and
got breathing treatments and had the fluid drawn from her lungs (
which had no cancer cells in it) and came home with antibiotics and
prednisone. For a month she seemed fine except for not having a very
good appetite, but for the last two days I can hardly get her to eat
anything. I am getting water and some vitamins in her with a syringe
(which she hates) but very little else. She last ate at 3:00 a.m. so
it has been more than 12 hours since she ate anything. Any
suggestions? Any advice appreciated. Please pray for her. On Wed.
the vet gave me another round of Orbax and prednisone for her, but it
seems to have had no effect whatsoever this time.
Betty
