glad someone else is having good luck with their babies. my Lil Bit was looking pretty rough and had lost a lot of weight so took her to vet and did a full panel on her and strted fluids and antibiotic right away. learned one thing, warm up the fluids to your own body temperature before giving them to your cat. she fused with me the first time (hadn't thought about warming fulids) then i got smart and put the bag in a bowl of warm water first. she still did not like getting stuck, but things went a lot smoother after that. did fluids 2 times a day. when blood work came back, her creatine and bun readings were off the chart. went back last week for recheck since she was looking much better, eatng better and her counts are normal. that baby food sure did come in handy during that time. it was easy for her to eat and she did like it. did not have to feed her, she ate it on her own. how lucky can a body get? continued good fortune for all with sick babies, it is almost as hard on us as it is on them. like a mother caring for her sick child. dorlis ---- "jbero tds.net" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey everyone, > > First of all, Sally, I am glad you are getting some food down him.
