Hi 14+!
I'm starting to wonder about the vet Steri-Animal uses. You never vaccinate a sick animal as it bombards their immune system and makes them weaker. The vet should have detected the problem when cpietra brought them in and treat it and then vaccinate them. One thing you can do to help them since they are on antibiotics is to give them organic (if possible) plain yogourt to restore the good bacteria in their intestines. It's a naturopath who told me this last week. Who knows what they inhaled while they were outside the factory and when mom brought them in! Thank you again for taking such good care. Is their anything I can do to help? I feel so helpless beign so farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr away! |

Kittens will get their second set of shots when, and not before, they are all healthy. Mom will get her shots and spayed as soon as she is on her feet so to speak. She told me she would give me low income rates to fix her. If she hadn't agreed I would have taken Naddy to the rescue I work through in TO to have her done. Just like I have the other 50+ that have been done through them. The kittens will be going to TO to be fixed when they are old enough - another month or so. Actually, I would love some more info on the natural flea meds. It is expensive using Revolution for 43 kitties.

Ah I see MM is from my old home stomping grounds of Point Claire! Small world. 14+ you will have your little family whipped into shape in no time I'm sure. You are such a kitty angel - but I think I've told you that before (like 100+ times). Bless you bless you bless you... it goes on....

I do not want to blame or question Steri Animal. They do what they can and at this clinic, you never know which vet you will get. This is the first time I have had this much trouble with cats and kittens being sick.
I have taken in litters from factories similar to where Naddy came from and when it works, well, its great, but unfortunately when it doesn't it doesn't. Steri Animal has helped me with all the cats that came through my house, without any questions, paying for all their meds and vet visits when possible. It was very unfortunate but I do not want to start questioning thier good intentions. Quote:

We have a vet here that a lot of people think is wonderful. In fact I used him too until I found out, fairly early in our business together, that he allowed his wife in the operation room with him to sew up cats after spaying. She has no training. With a large organization like a rescue you sometimes get one that doesn't quite fit the bill. But I am in no way upset with you or Steri Animal. I'm sorry.

I think part of the reason for Naddy's illness is the stress of the move, so illness may not have been prevalent for the vet who vaccinated her. Poor girl, but she will settle in and be on the mend soon. I do think Naddy may need to have her lungs listened to, just in case the congestion may have turned into pneumonia . I am sure that factory didn't have the cleanest air .

Oh, more cuties. I hope the little ones and Naddy get better soon!
How much L-lysine do you give them? The vet told me it would be good for Czari but I'm not sure how much.

You can get a get type where cats get 1/4 tsp twice a day in their food or on their paw to lick off or a powder that they get one rounded scoop twice a day. It's called Viralys. Or at least the one I have is. I am sure if you asked your vet she/he could get it for you.

I've done this for about the last month alternating between the peppermint then orange, once a week and it really has worked with minimal flea infestation and no ill effects on kitties and dogs. I also use the Zodiac area spray on rugs and bedding too as added protection.
