Snagged from somewhere... they were flea infested, snotty, covered in diarrhea. The rescuers bathed them, applied flea treatment, got them vetted, and once they were deemed stable, I got them. Goopy eyes, snotty nose, poopy farts. These guys stayed IN the cage and I washed them every day until their diarrhea ended. I held them quite a bit but always with a flannel blanket, had them on my lap a lot, but always with a flannel blanket. :D

When the little one was caught, he got named Nigel. Then they got his brother as well, and I promptly named him Tony. Here they are in the cage, in the kitty cubby - which I washed a couple times before it fell apart. Fortunately, it wasn't expensive and came in a two-pack off Amazon. :)

Thanks guys. I've been doing this for 8years and I am still learning!

First Nigel had explosive diarrhea after I thought all was well - he had bloody diarrhea all over the cage. I yelled for help and the lady that runs the rescue took him for a day so she would monitor him and give him fluids. Fortunately, whatever he had probably cleared out of his system.

Then Tony (the larger kitten) got all quiet - which usually means they are not well. Then he turned up lame. See pic below. Apparently, that can come from a fever. When they have a high fever, they hurt and so they limp. I picked him up and he was like a little hot water bottle.

Another trip to the vet. Fever of 103.6! A cat's average temperature is right around 100 - 101. He got a shot to reduce the fever, fluids, and more antibiotics.

Boys have gone for their neuter and another foster home for recovery and to gain a little strength. Nigel was found to have a significant heart murmur, but kittens generally grow out of it. So we are keeping our fingers crossed for him. They both get a little reprieve as there are older kittens that have not yet been adopted (Amelia and Georgie from my first batch for instance - they were also a little sick). Once they get adopted, then the boys will be offered up for adoption.
