Keep our little Man Cave in your prayers. I will do a video later explaining more. Basically we are not 100% sure what is going on. But this is why we don't allow group play till they have been here for at least 2wks. These kittens seemed healthy at intake. Then MC started with runny stools. Giardia and Panleukopenia (kitty parvo) were negative. He started dropping weight and not keeping his body temp up. I did fluids and added a heat pad and he rebounded. Yesterday he crashed and was rushed to the vet.
Vet said she couldn't believe he was alive and didn't expect him to survive the night or long term.
I brought him home, put him in a warm incubator and gave fluids. He was unconscious, I fully expected a dead kitten when I got back in from cleaning the cabin.
Miraculously he was alert and sitting up, more fluids, iron and some very soft wet food mixed with formula and he's still fighting and perky.
But we have a very long fight ahead of us and I am already super exhausted.
Labs and f***l exam showed nothing worth noting which vet said is an indicator it just started and hasn't affected his organs yet.
Unfortunately we already lost Dad Jokes yesterday. He wasn't even showing signs of illness and was gone. Whatever we are fighting is swift and deadly.
Of course his vet bill was nearly $250 and with tomorrow's fundraiser cancelled just leaves us scrambling even more.
If you can send donations as always we really appreciate it.
