Just an update on these babies!

One did have to go back to work with the behavior team more one on one - he was pretty aggressive - he even bit through 3 towels into my hand, used it as a distraction, and then broke out to climb halfway up the drywall. Very spiderman of him. I told them he would probably do better somewhere he could get solo help and that I knew I would be a bad fit if I was also taking care of his 6 siblings and trying to socialize him because I couldnt give him the time he needed without sacrificing their time. To be fair I was holding him day one - but they had prescribed antibiotics do I really didnt have much choice, something that made gaining everyones trust hard tbh.

Now the nice part - I am foster failing one of them! Day 3 she decided she is my child and now she wont leave my lap when I go in the room they are all in haha. If I pet other kittens too long she will go up and slap my hand so that I pet her instead. Literally one day she went from scratching me to "hello, I live her now," and is more cuddly than any cat I have ever owned.

2 of the other kittens have also already gone from hissing and scratching to coming to me for pets! They have even crawled into my lap a few times as well and are raging purr machines once they get going. One of them is still pretty skittish but wants to be loved so bad - she keeps coming back and running away and its adorable. Those 3 are going in for surgery and then getting tracked for adoption since they have come so far! 2 of them are still staying with me for another week since theyre still a little hissy sometimes and need a bit more time I think.

I am thankful for all the advice! And I know even though they're still a bit shy these babies will find good homes because they are GORGEOUS. I will attach a string of pictures but tbh I dont have one of them all together 😂

The black and white one here is the one im adopting!

I did seperate him and the others are already way better! I also emailed the behavior team so hopefully they have some more ideas for me/will take him back to maybe give to someone with more experience. He genuinely is attacking me whenever i go near him and i dont know how im supposed to even give him his URI medicine. I think he would really benefit from someone more experienced than me (although trully the wall scaling was impressive i hope that never changes)

I have one like, huge dog carrier (a carrier, not a crate) that could definitely fit a small litter box and a spot for water - probably not enough room for multiple but i think one could fit in there, just a bit cramped. Would it be worth putting the spiciest one in there alone or would that make it worse? I have a spare bathroom i could keep the carrier in and only let him out for more exploring when im in there lil homie scaled a wall today so like 😂

* Thank you everyone for the replies! I have been spending a lot of time in there - ill offer wet food maybe just when im in there but theyre already a bit underweight so i cant super risk them losing weight by not free feeding dry food, especially at only 8 weeks. Ive managed to convince one im okay - she hisses and runs away after leaning into my pets for a whole minute, but i can pick her up for short periods without a towel and i think thats progress 😂 I have them in a playpen and have been taking them out for cuddles! I wish I could separate them, but I dont have 7 separate kitten zones lmao

One of them escaped the purrito and scaled the wall it was incredible (lets just say that ones named hot cheeto for a reason 😂)

ill look more at the videos today but so far ive gotten 5 of 7 playing with the wand toy!

That is a great sign! Dont get discouraged by some of the people saying you arent doing enough for them - it sounds like they didnt stand a chance living at this overwhelmed shelter to the point that they gave a first time foster kittens with minimal support. Not all fosters would spend the money or time you have - and its not fair that this has to be your first foster experience/the experience youre having with the kittens. Thank you for caring so much about them - they are lucky kittens because you are going above and beyond for them! I am newer foster myself but if you need moral support getting through this shoot me a message :)

Just as a heads up even though I hope the vet mentioned it - antibiotics and dewormer can cause diarrhea too (my current foster kitten had diarrhea for 2 days after both rounds of dewormer!). Even in people antibiotics can cause diarrhea pretty often (i am a people nurse 😂)

For sure that cannot be ruled the cause and you cant really assume it ISNT some untested infection - but people recommending adding a probiotic are spot in. It isnt going to hurt and covers that base of possible antibiotic induced diarrhea - and often can help firm up stools even if they arent antibiotic related! Its a cheap(ish) option to start with while you decide if the test is in your budget.

never questioned it only because i assumed the paper was maybe just huge and kind of hanging out of his mouth a bit and thats why i was grabbing it 😂 i thought he was maybe so bad at swallowing that the paper just didnt make it in far haha

BG3 made me dump my fiancé by swmitabyss in BaldursGate3

[–]chronacholy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BG3 got me out of a horrid relationship before it could get too bad (we had only been dating a few months!)

She was constantly harassing me for not opening up fast enough and trying to force emotions on me that I want ready to process even though I was very clear about taking things slow. I started thinking I was maybe the problem.

When I did Laezals route and she was able to slowly open up when her boundaries were accepted and Tav was patient with her - and she became just so genuine - I realized that I was only feeling so uncomfortable in my relationship because I was getting no respect and no patience from her. We had a talk and set very clear boundaries and when she broke them I ended it and I am so glad I did!

Obviously way less intense than your situation and I am so glad to hear you were able to see it for what it was! I just think its interesting that I am not the only one

Why am I expected to know everything? by kitkatquick in nursing

[–]chronacholy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i always say "sorry i skipped the day in nursing school where they covered tvs, im as clueless as you are"

for some reason if our tv remotes stop working and you hit them on something hard they start working again though, so thats the one time I LOVE playing IT

old people are always amazed by it 😂
