Sheesh

First off, I had stated, "Mind you, both kittens were covered in fleas. I have since bathed them and gotten all of the fleas off them." The kittens were not given a FLEA bath. They were bathed in Dawn dish soap as was suggested to me by a woman who breed Persians. Between my husband and I, sat diligently picking off every flea with tweezers.

Second, the one weighs 413 grams and the other one who seemed lethargic weighs 434 grams. Oh and the lethargy the vet said was probably due to the cheap @ss wormer. sigh The OTC wormer was pitched in the trash. I should have known better!

Third, I have no idea what happened to the other kittens. We were handed these two and were told the others were spoken for when we asked for all 5. We were escorted out of the home. (I did call animal services due to the poor conditions they were in.)

Fourth, they got to the vet today and I am happy to announce they do not have any parasites that could be found. The vet refuses to do the wormer until they turn 6 weeks old. However, she did notice they were both a tad bit anemic but she was not concerned as their iron level was almost in the normal zone. However, she wants to see them both next week.

As for "I foster kittens, but would never have an orhaned litter without a mother cat figure." My intention was to use my neighbor's queen who was nursing. Unfortunately, she had taken off and has not been seen since. Er go, I got in a tight position and did the best I could.

Regarding what type of canned food... Iams Kitten Formula Canned Food is what they are getting. The vet recommended taking them off the formula period since they do so well eating the wet cat food mixed with a bit of water. The dry food they get a few pieces of mixed with water is: Blue Buffalo Spa Select. We try to use as natural of products as we can.

Cleo is the one I was concerned about. She is the larger and lighter one of the two. In the photo of the both of them, she is on the right. She is also the one in the single kitten photo. (Had to make a correction as I realized I had originally put her as being on the left. The left one is actually Kayla.) Kayla is just ticked at me for taking yet another photo of her. :lol:

They are both well hydrated and seem content. The one I was concerned about is running around the house like she drank an energy drink. :lol:

The reason I did not go to the vet immediately is due to the fact it was 2130 on a Saturday night when we picked them up.
