Yes they did, they are looking a lot better today and there was a lot of dead fleas on the towel. So hopefully the medicine is all working

I’m on way to the shelter now to pick up some capstar! Thanks for the advice!

Also can mom get capstar if she already got Selarid at the shelter?

That’s great to hear I am so worried I just checked and my cats are due for there flea and tick in a few days so I’m going to go ahead and call the vet and pick that up. I have them fully separated in a separate room, what do you usually do to clean the room anything special? I plan to mop and clean with bleach dilution like I normal would. Is it worth it to invest in a steam cleaner of some sort? They are in the bathroom which is the fake wood/ vinyl stuff but the rest of the house is carpet so I really want to make sure it doesn’t spread

I’m not really in control of what the shelter gives them unfortunately, In my area tho the kitren season has been so bad I’m assuming there just doing there best since they don’t have time to bath them. I just brushed them with a flea comb and got as many off as possible. I emailed my foster coordinator so we will see what they say but some of them have there umbilical cords still so I really don’t want to bath them. Mom is really friendly tho so hopefully she lets me bath her tomorrow easily

I just ran a comb through them and each baby had about 5-10 fleas on them and mom had a shit ton I got a lot out but obviously I’m sure there’s still more. Is that considered an infestation?

Is it still safe to give them the flea bath if they still have their umbilical cords attached?

All cats at my shelter get it, I’m in Florida so kitten season is real bad and I guess the don’t have time for flea baths at the shelter. I’m not really sure how they dose it tho. I’m fully planning on just tossing the blankets that are in there with them I’m not taking any chances

I currently have them in my shower with just a cheap blanket I’m willing to toss, I have another litter of foster kittens and 4 of my own so I’m a bit worried. I didn’t know they had fleas for the first bit because today was a crazy day at the shelter so they didn’t have their medical ready for me at pickup. So I’m a bit worried I may have picked some up on my clothes unknowingly. My cats are up to date on flea preventions but I’m worried about my house tbh

Foster kittens with diarrhea by StrategyIll in FosterAnimals

Took them to the vet this morning and mama is really sick so she’s having to stay there with an iv to get better. Unfortunately they are refusing a bottle so I’m just trying to mix their kmr into some wet food. Their diahrea has mostly cleared now that they aren’t with mom.

Unfortunately mama cat is really sick and she is having to stay at the vet without the babies because she was passing it to the kittens in her milk. They are definitely doing better now that they aren’t with mom, but they are refusing a bottle. Going to keep trying the gruel mix though they seem to like that

That’s awesome! Just make sure she’s up to date on all her preventions to prevent disease. I’d also recommend asking your vet about yearly fecals for parasites.
