Watch them for Panleuk symptoms: depression, hanging head (most of the time, not just over the food/water bowl), loose/watery stools, vomitting, low energy.
If they are throwing up just bile, then they are just hungry. Can you syringe some baby food into them to get them started eating again? What are you feeding? If dry, switch to raw or healthy wet, such as Merrick's Before Grain (plus 5% canned unspiced pumpkin). You can also mix up half and half goat milk and wet food. I don't let my cats get around pine/cedar litter because of the phenols in pine, which can be toxic to cat livers. Supposedly, this is taken care of in cat litters, but if it makes my bladder disease worse, then I don't subject cats to it, either. Not to mention this stuff is scented, to boot. Use disposable gloves when handling the kittens. On Sun, Nov 4, 2012 at 11:41 AM, Martha Walton <marthawal...@gmail.com>wrote: > I am kitten-sitting two kittens this weekend for a friend.
