Day 15 - Got Milk? Not so much
Nope, Mama cat just doesn't have the milk she needs for this crew. As you can see everyone still comes to the table, but they leave hungry. I've kicked up the syringe feeding and everyone is getting back on track except poor little Kitten #6. I realized that she wasn't moving around too much and by last night she was just limp. We made an emergency vet visit this morning and she had 103 degree fever. Everyone else is around 100.5. I had to take her temperature this afternoon. I thought I could get Alana, our future vet, to do it but no such luck. She held the kittens for me while I wielded the thermometer. All kitten now run in fear of me. But seriously, it was harder than you'd think. They were just so squirmy.
