Pardon the mediocre photos, these guys are super wiggly. I just wanted to announce that Frogs and Bunny have officially survived week one of life!
Frogs has some serious ulceration on his lower lips, he saw the vet today and was put on two antibiotics and two painkillers as well as fluid support…I had to make myself a chart to keep track of once, twice, and thrice a day medications. It’s a lot for such a bitty little dude but he is so chunky and hungry and happy/purry, he deserves all the support I can give him.
Bunny still feels a bit thin/bony, but her weight is consistently going up and she’s starting to plump up a little. She won’t LATCH on the bottle per se, but if you tuck the nipple under her tongue she makes drinking motions and will swallow a full meal while I squeeze the bottle. I’ve been fostering since 2007 and I’ve never seen such goofy nursing behavior before, but it works so I can’t complain!
This is Moira. She is five weeks old, and she is very sad because she does not want to grow up. The humans have asked her to begin consuming various types of meat mush, but all she wants is to sit in their hands and purr and get the bottle. It is hard to say no to her.
If there's ever luls in me posting it is because kitten season has started here and I'm a neonate foster with a local rescue.
I just got some newborns last night
Their names are Clover (only girl) Lucky, Patrick, and Bowie. At the moment they gotta be fed every two hours. No mama cat, sadly. She passed after giving birth, so I'm in charge of all their care. if y'all want I'll post occasional updates as they grow! Or you can see them on my foster twitter which is BumbleTus
I'm honestly torn between Joel-kitten and Ellie-kitten. Joel is really cool, and floppy, and fun... but Ellie is *social* and she is absolutely in love with my dog.
