Since we took in the new litter aka Stranger Things Kittens, The Momma Joyce has not been eating much. Late Monday night she’d thrown up, and she wasn’t eating much at all. Barely snacking. By midday Tuesday she’d seemingly stopped nursing her kittens and we knew something bad was going down. Everyone had lost weight.
Amanda took everyone to the vet yesterday. Momma Joyce had bloodwork, X-ray, and ultrasound. We expect to get the results on Thursday or Friday.
She was also given subcutaneous fluids and anti-nausea meds…
Amanda is bottle feeding the kittens about every 3 hours to supplement and give Momma Joyce a rest from nursing so she can work on getting better. This morning when I woke up Joyce had actually decided to go back in the tent and nurse. We still haven’t gotten her to eat more than a few nibbles. The kittens, however, are gaining weight once again.
While it’s still up in the air what may be happening, one thing that we seemingly have ruled out is a viral outbreak as Joyce showed no signs of fever.
