The littlest babies are doing absolutely wonderful! It was a struggle for a few days as they weren't eating as much as I would have expected and wanted. But now on the second day of antibiotics for 4 of the babies all are absolutely thriving. I just weighed them this morning and they are gaining more than average for babies their size. Even Pierce is eating until he could burst. It now takes 2 bottles at a feeding which is double from just a few days ago. No one to worry about here thank goodness.
I am watching Nim who is having a hard time. I am determined to have her come through this. I held her last night for a few hours. She purred a lot for me which is not usual for her so I know she appreciated the attention. I still got things done around the house (that stuff never seems to wait, just pile up even when you aren't looking because you are busy). I am focusing on getting her to eat little bits often and this morning she ate some of the vet kitten development food I have for my 15 year old cat. It is good to see that she still likes to eat.
I put out the tunnel for the 5 older babies and they have been enjoying it. Something different for busy babies who love to play.
