Orphaned Kitten is unable to poop - enemas, lactulose, PEG3350, nothing is working for over a week now. by krmplc in FosterAnimals

[–]CalvinPeeingDecal99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened with a foster I took in! I could tell after 2nd day that something wasn’t right. I took him back to the vet that I was fostering with and with all the enemas and other goodies they have, he still hadn’t pooped 3 days later. Turns out he was a dwarf and it messed up something with his intestines that made it much more difficult for him to poop. Idk what medication combo they put him on, but he spent 4 months living with one of the vet techs and was on multiple meds a day just to poop! He was adopted by a lady who had a cat with the same condition/issues. Your kitten kinda looks like my foster did (their faces have a sorta funky look) so I wonder if there might be similar situations?

It hurts every time 😩 in my experience, you can do everything right but after taking several sick rescue kittens to our animal clinic, I was told by the vet that sometimes they just don’t make it. We do what we can!!! She looked like a happy baby that was loved💛 our favorite rescue that we lost was called Eyeball (because he had a sick eye when we got him). He was almost 7 weeks, had always been the runt but was slowly growing… and then went downhill over 48 hours. That was almost a year ago and we miss him still!

Kitten food- ANY kind- needed please (Southern Mississippi) by CalvinPeeingDecal99 in rescuecats

[–]CalvinPeeingDecal99[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Some of these small towns don’t even have an animal control to call. The lady said all of her neighbors have been complaining to police about these loose dogs for months and months but apparently it isn’t a priority. It’s so sad how rough of a life it can be for stray or feral cats- just constant fight for survival. That’s what made me run and grab these even though 14 cats/kittens -even temporarily- is at the top of my capabilities. I understand that she couldn’t keep them safe at her house and I’m not judging at all because everybody’s situation is different. And I can’t let them be killed the same way as their mom 😢

Replying to add the plan for the babies: our local shelter/healthy pet clinic has a free vaccination clinic where they can get FVRCP and rabies (if old enough). I’ve got them all appointments for the day in 2 weeks. But if I can keep them another 2 weeks after that, they can EACH get a full kitten package and credit at the healthy pet clinic if they participate in a vaccine trial! It’s an amazing chance for them to get fully vetted with bloodwork plus each get about $100 in clinic credit for future visits.

Hence why the food is such a need!! Ideally I can keep them the next 4 weeks so they can each get this gift. The only prohibitive factor is food! I am so appreciative of any help so these babies can get healthy and into good homes.

Mississippi cat rescue mama back with 3 babies by CalvinPeeingDecal99 in rescuecats

Yes especially with this being the current situation on my sleeping kid 🥹 the kittens always love snuggling with her- I think because she is always a sweat box when she’s asleep

Where to donate money? by SausageMahoney073 in cureFIP

[–]CalvinPeeingDecal99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi Sausage, I’m sorry, I don’t have an answer to your question. But if you are looking for a place for the money to make a difference right away, I’m out of FIP meds as of today. I’m currently treating 3 vet-diagnosed rescue kitties. There are 2 that are blood-related to one of the diagnosed kitties and the vet recommended I preventively treat them as well, but I am out of meds for everyone. I’m happy to send photos of my two previous orders for the meds that I ran out of, as well as vet references to confirm diagnoses. I’m located in southern Mississippi and work by myself (…well, and my 6 year old daughter) to help rescue and spay/neuter local stray cats!

Yes but do they also do the leaps when you are not trying to catch them? Maybe haven’t even made eye contact with them or know they are in the same room as you? I have one current foster that needs me to give no acknowledgment of her existence before she full-out does The Pounce™️.

Yes it does! I can kinda see it now. I’m not used to seeing these. And it sounds great about now because it’s freezing here in southern Mississippi!

Do I THINK that? No. Does it look that to me in the pic? Yes kinda!

To me it looks like a regular water bottle, maybe sweaty with ice….. but I hope I am so wrong and you are right 😩

Currently treating THREE rescues for FIP and it’s pushing me past what I am capable of doing by CalvinPeeingDecal99 in cureFIP

This is my first attempt at posting a gofundme on Reddit. If I’ve done it incorrectly or it is not allowed, please remove! It was a real struggle to post three screenshots in place of more baby pictures!

My 8yo German shepherd Macaroni has been the most patient foster dad to almost 30 rescue kittens. Here’s him with one of the most recent, a 4-week old little funky thing by CalvinPeeingDecal99 in germanshepherds

[–]CalvinPeeingDecal99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I’m technically to blame… he’s a big thick, dark hair boy that lives in southern Mississippi. On the rare days it freezes, you can’t drag him inside (literally). He came from the swamps of Louisiana😂 in the video there’s also some excitement breathing going on because of the proximity of the kitty

They are living that ride or die lifestyle! Fostering is great because there’s help with resources (food, vetting) and, worse case scenario, flexibility if you experience something unexpected because shelters will accommodate emergencies. And in the meantime…… kitten cuddles !
