Here’s updates on the two girls:
So far Flower has not vomited, only poo poo blood clot once in 24 hours and protested like crazy when her lining paper was wet. But she pulled out the drip so it had to be removed. We can’t put into other legs because the vein burt. So, no drip today. Will let her rest, force feed her water and chicken essence to get her strength up. Vet says if she can survive 5 days, she will probably make it. Today is the 5th day.
Coco is much better now, wound has closed, only left a thin pink line. She has appetite but also manja and lao kai. Neesd her grandma to manja her.

I would think Flower is on her way to recovery after having pulled through the five days. She seems to have regained her strength (to pull out the drip).
Get well soon, Flower and Coco!
Our medical subsidy offer is still open for Flower and Coco.
Flower today.

I have had a few 6 months old and above kittens survive the deadly parvo virus by force-feeding them A/D by syringe daily. But only if they are at least 6 months old, previously fit and able to swallow.
But if they show signs of yellowish vomit containing bile, they will die quickly. In this case, if the kitten is rushed to a hospital and put on the drip urgently to administer fluid and medication, sometimes it stands a chance of recovery but not always. The older the kitten, the better chance of its recovery against this deadly virus which the number 1 killer of kittens below 6 months old.
If they vomit blood and pass out blackish stool (containing stale blood) because their intestine linings are bleeding, sometimes they can still survive (especially if they are more than 6 months old) if you are able to get them to swallow their antibiotics and A/D without vomitting daily.
Yes, if they manage to survive about 5 days, it is a very good sign that the worst is over.
The daily force-feeding the weak and almost lifeless sick kitten is very tough (plus all the washing of hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after each handling to prevent spreading the deadly virus to other kittens) but the satisfaction and happiness at seeing it recover is indescribable.
God bless you, Anita, and hope you get well, Flower!
Dear MasAyu,
Thanxs and I do agree with. I just only had time to go thru this blog….after fighting the fight for the girls, it is satisfying to watch them now, playing and being a major mischief.
