Have you ruled out panleukopenia? These are tiny kittens who started off on the wrong paw to begin with. Was the mom who stopped nursing vaccinated during the pregnancy or while nursing? FYI: BNP ointment is far superior to terramycin.

She was eating, though, and i did not expect her to die. Last week I came downstairs to find one lying in the floor close to death. He was suffering so I had him PTS (actually I told the vet if he could do anything to do it, but if he was suffering and too far gone, to PTS).. He was very, very cold. No other symptoms I could detect. 3 have died of unknown causes. One maybe fading kitten syndrome. Weighed 4 oz at 22 days, died at 23 days. Mom stopped feeding, so I fed and when I was at work she was at the vet. She died at vet. One kitten dead in bathroom when I went in, no prior symptoms. One died yesterday, had seemed unstable so I was syringe feeding A/D, he was taking it well. All died between 3-5 weeks. The living ones are 4-7 weeks. Living ones have horrible congestion, some with severe eye infections, some not. Were on clavamox x2 weeks. Were on triple antiobiotic drops for eyes, have bumped that up to terramycin. I also have one adult who is not eating and is vomiting up syringed food within 3-5 minutes after feeding. Another adult who is not eating but taking syringe food well. I lose kittens to URI every year. Not usually this many, but I do not usually take in this many either. I take a lot of kittens who don't have high viability to begin with. I'm especially a sucker for those who come in to the shelter solo at 3 weeks:( On 5/7/07, Susan Hoffman wrote: > Lost to uri? What age, and what symptoms.
