It's been a while since we've had tiny wittle babies in this house, but that changed today! β€οΈβπ©Ή
These two are about 3 weeks old and were transferred from an emergency vet to our county shelter where there were facing a 4pm deadline. The Siamese girl weighs 0.51 lbs and arrived with mild conjunctivitis, but no nasal discharge. The brown tabby boy weighs 0.66 lbs and has an umbilical hernia along with some swelling in his right hind limb, though no obvious injury was seen. Both are crusty, covered in fleas and flea dirt and so so hungry! The Siamese kitten took to the bottle immediately and the tabby boy wasn't as sold on it. They both were stimulated to p*e and to no surprise their urine is bright yellow, meaning they are very dehydrated. Both are currently snuggled up on a heating pad and I'll try feeding the tabby boy shortly again. β€οΈβπ©Ή
I wasn't planning on taking on littles so I need some help. I need formula for them and a bottle warmer because our microwave died so I don't have a way to warm their bottles aside from putting it into warm water which would take a while, especially for those overnight feedings. My wish list link is in my bio if anyone can help!
