Kitten TLC

After lots of love, medicine, and TLC look who is finally reached the two pound mark!

I have to admit, I was really worried about her for a few days. She was very lethargic, not eating well, and her lungs were so full of gunk that she had very labored breathing.

Lots of internet searching later I learned that kitties can actually get Robitussin. The vet ok'ed it and helped to figure out a dosage. Lets just say Hearts was less than pleased when I gave it to her, kittens do not like Robitussin. Once the medicine started to work its magic she finally started to breath a little easier and was able to get some good sleeping in.

I also ordered her some holistic medicine from HAMPL. I had gotten Daffodil some medication from there when she had the tumor in her mouth removed and they helped her so much. 24 hours after Hearts started the holistic medicine she started turning back into a real kitten! She is now running around, chasing toys, eating everything I put in front of her, and purring up a storm. At her vet check up today she weighed in at two pounds (finally!) and the vet said that her lungs are sounding great; she kept her on her antibiotics for at least another week to help protect against any infection. I am so relieved she turned a corner and is doing so well, I will be sure to keep you update as she continues to grow!
