Maple's kitten adventures...

[twister]

That was quick! Great thing you did for momma and babies. I hope kitten 1 is ok...it does look like a hernia or something.

Also wanted to add that it looks like momma cat had a wolf worm in her neck. They are absolutely disgusting, so be glad that she is healing up already. I pulled one out of my cat's neck and he ended up with a hole about the size of a dime that went back about 1/2 inch. Lost all of his hair there as well, but it will grow back!

Wow, looks like you rescued that momma just in time. If only 2 kittens, even better. At least there weren't 9 or something

Never heard of wolf worm.


Ok, so I very carefully cut the string off the belly of kitten. Now off to farm n fleet for kitten milk replacer to try to give this baby a fighting chance since it's not nursing but it did have enough strength to push itself up on its front arms for a bit.

Wolf worm I think is the same as bot fly - just checked it ou on youtube - very disturbing

Oh, maple's got kittens.

Good luck, how are they doing? any more yet?

I hope that little one makes it!

I rescued a cat and for her first litter she had 8. If she only has 2 you are super lucky!

He may not..

Better warn the girls just in case..
Did manage to get any milk in him?

Doesn't look like momma is giving him any attention either. Not a good sign. Momma kitties know things we do not.
