Forgotten Felines of Maine hasn't added a story.
We have been hand raising two litters of kittens without mommas...one litter we took in at 3 days old and they are now 7 weeks old...the other litter we took in at 3 weeks old and they are now 8 weeks old. Both litters have been extremely compromised and both litters have struggled to gain weight and most have had diarrhea on and off along the way. There are a total of 13 baby kittens. Last Tuesday we took little 1 pound then 7 week old Pip to the vet because she simply wasn't growing and she was lethargic. She was diagnosed with the worst case of Coccidia the vet had ever seen.
All the babies were put on Albon and by Saturday Spot was so sick he had to be admitted to the Eastern Maine Emergency Clinic. He weighed 1 pound at 8 weeks old and the diarrhea was pouring from him. His temp was a cold 97.8 degrees (normal is 101). We were so scared we would lose him over night but we didn't. After spending 2 days and 2 nights in the ER his body temp once again regulated and he is eating and came home late this morning...he is far from out of the woods. Our bill just for the ER was well over $600. Now most of the 13 babies have puddle diarrhea and the Albon is not working. Tomorrow I will be insisting on a new medication that many vets don't even know about. It's a med for horses but can be compounded for cats. It's called Ponazuril and I will be insistent on getting it. I will have to drive 3 hours to the Pet Scripts Pharmacy in Yarmouth to get it but I don't care. We are on the verge of losing kittens to this horrendous parasite. I won't stand by and watch that happen. Please help us save these litters of kittens...Coccidia has been known to kill goats...it's deadly and just so scary. You know the work we do...we do everything we can to help these kittens once in our care. Spot, Pip, Ali, Dottie, Rascal, Moe, Vista, Mena, Bethany, Brianna, Carrington, Morgan and Mowgli are counting on you...thank you once again...it takes a village and right now we need our village. ❤️
