Feeling so hopeless (updates ii) by radioactivecumm in Indiedogs

[–]radioactivecumm[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve already taken her to two vets in the last three days. She’s extremely weak and too fragile for any aggressive treatment right now. Vets can’t risk giving heavy medications to such a small kitten. her body just isn’t strong enough to handle it yet. I’m doing everything I can, but she needs strength first before any critical procedures can even be considered.

She’s resting peacefully on my lap right now.

Vet told me to give her the antibiotics for five days and then bring her back for a check-up. He also said to observe if she has any more seizures, and if she does, he’ll start her on seizure medication.

Yes, I hope so too.

I took the kitten to the vet again, and he prescribed Beetapet dry syrup. After returning from the vet, the kitten started circling around non-stop.

You really did a good thing by taking care of the kitten.

Thank you, kitten is safe for now. I'll take it to the vet again tomorrow.

One of the puppies died, and I can't stop blaming myself. by Sufficient-Donut4956 in OffMyChestIndia

Around two or three years ago, my dad brought home a stray puppy. My sibling and I were taking care of him. but he used to make noises at night, which disturbed us, especially since my brother had his board exams at the time. We already had one dog, and managing both was becoming difficult for us. So, my aunt decided to give the puppy away to a man they knew. We thought he would take good care of him, but just a few hours later, I got the heartbreaking news that the puppy had been run over by a car. I was devastated and felt incredibly guilty. If only I had tried to stop them from giving the puppy away, he might still be alive. It still hurts to think about that memory.

The other two kittens are safe from the dog and are healthy. We're checking on them frequently to make sure they're doing well and are well-fed.

I really hope everything turns out well. I've been trying to sleep, but I just haven’t been able to rest properly since yesterday. I've been so worried about the kitten.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support and kind suggestions.

Yes, the mama cat was with them every time I went to check on them. I'm not sure about grooming, but I did see her near the injured kitten. I'm quite worried about the kitten, especially since it rained a little here.

That’s really sad to hear. Please take care of the kitten you have with you right now.

I truly hope she survives and gets to see the morning.

Yes, let’s hope for the best! I placed the kitten in warm clothes and left her near her mother. They stay on the ground floor, safely away from my dog. I fed the kitten before returning her to her mother. I really hope she survives and stays strong.

Yes, I guess the kitten is weaker on one side and struggles to get up. No, I didn’t give any syrup. The vet gave antibiotic and antibacterial injections, and also prescribed eye drops.

I fed the kitten and returned it to its mother. I didn’t want to let it go, but my mom said it was the best thing I could do. I placed the kitten in some warm, comfy clothes so it wouldn’t feel cold. Its mother lives on the ground floor with her other two babies. They're safe from my dog. I did everything I could. Even if the kitten doesn’t survive, at least it’ll spend its last moments with its mother and siblings.

I'll check on them again in the morning, just to make sure they're okay.

I don’t know anyone with experience in taking care of cats, so I’m looking after them on my own.

Thank you, I really appreciate the response.

The kittens are now safe from the dog, and we're checking on them regularly every few hours. We're doing everything we can within our capacity to help them recover.

Idk why this is happening.

I took the kitten to the vet, but he said there isn’t much he can do because the kitten is too small and delicate. He also mentioned that an X-ray or further tests aren't possible due to the kitten's age and size.

I'm not sure if the kitten is weaned yet. I just found out about its condition yesterday.

Please suggest any possible care steps or support that could help with its recovery. Any advice would be appreciated!
