Re: OT - Sally in trouble with Panluek
Miriam, Thank you very much for responding with some suggestions for Sally's little babies. Three of the four kittens have already passed. The fourth is not doing very well either. It's so heartbreaking. She has been giving subq fluids and assist feeding tiny amounts of formula every 20 minutes or so. The last little boy, Trevor is doing better at not vomiting the meds and formula back up, so she has hope that he might pull through. Nina MIRIAM BEBITCH wrote: Sorry to hear about the kitties. I have had some kittens that died from it. I have learned alot though. Kittens can overcome panleuk, but they have to be kept very hydrated. I would get a bag of fluids and small needles from the vet, and administer subcutaneously just between the shoulder blades. Also, a great product to use for any dehydrated cats and kittens is Pedialyte (unflavored, of course). Just syringe it orally as much as they can tolerate and repeat, repeat, repeat. With panleuk, as well as intestinal parasites, the kittens usually wind up dying from dehydration, not the actual problem. Also, feed them cooked steamed rice with chicken or turkey broth. Baby food is good too, but be careful not to buy baby food with onion powder in it. Please tell her to get her other cats vaccinated. Good luck, hope this helps.

The mother and four babies, (about 4 or 5 weeks old) were rescued from a back yard situation. She has already lost two of the kittens one of which was diagnosed by a vet with Panleukopenia. Her computer is down and she is desperately seeking help with remedies for vomiting, (the poor little guys can't keep the meds down). They don't have diarrhea yet, (do have soft stool), they are starting to refuse food, as of this morning neither had a temp. So far they have been given 4 doses of Arsenicum Album (6c once an hour), they are getting Transfer Factor Stress formula and Amoxi, (prescribed by vet) and subq fluids. Not only is she losing these sweet babies one at a time, but the rest of her cats, (a whole houseful) are being put in danger. Anyone that thinks they could help, please write me off-list and I'll send you her phone number, or pass on the info. Say a prayer for the babies, their Momma and the rest of Sally's cats, (some of which have not been vaccinated!). Thanks, Nina
RE: OT - Sally in trouble with Panluek
Could she give a fluid with V-C (sterile form) to kittens - I think it's critical to give these guys fluid to keep them alive -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 11:49 AM To: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: OT - Sally in trouble with Panluek Hello Everyone, Poor Sally (from San Jose) is waging a terrible battle with Panleukopenia kittens.
