New sphynx kitten

[Rkgxo]

Hello everyone!

I got a lovely wee sphynx boy a week ago and he seems to be settling in well! Managed to use his litter tray well and eating well too (not drinking much but I hear that’s ok)

As of yesterday afternoon he seems to be a bit “off” he meowed and hissed at me cause I was moving his covers out of the way so I didn’t knock them over , he hissed at my partner for sitting next to him on the couch & this morning he was in his bed and got up , seemed annoyed and hissed at thin air and ran into his wee hide/tent! He’s not eaten this morning I feel a bit anxious and stressed as a new mum! Is there anything I can do? Or shouldn’t do? Please help x

Any severe change in behavior is worth a vet trip. Especially if they show aggression out of the blue, it’s worth checking to make sure they are not in pain. Trust me your vet will be happy you are ahead of anything that might be brewing. Please keep us updated.

@Rkgxo hugs,, welcome... what is your babies name?
all paws are family. agree with the vet trip. is it possible he fell and hurt himself? is there any other animals he sees outside a window? it stressed my Toby out years ago. any other pets? use any feliaway diffusers? I ask bcz I tried one with Toby and he was hissing and growling at it and not himself. removed it and he was back to normal.

I would call/ vet check for peace of mind. please keep us updated. hugs n positive vibes.

@Rkgxo here is the feliaway plug in Toby hissed out, supposed to be calming pheramones. did not work for him.

, please keep us updated on baby Binx, do you use any plug ins with essential oils? plants that Binx may have chewed on that are toxic?

****many essential oils are toxic to pets, also himalayan salt lamps if licked.

 

[Yoda mom]

@Rkgxo , please let us know if you got Binx to vet ...

, please keep us updated on baby Binx, do you use any plug ins with essential oils? plants that Binx may have chewed on that are toxic?
many plug in air freshners have warnings on back of packages caution with pets and children.

hugs and prayers for baby Binx. following for updates

Hello! A little update on Binx - he unfortunately had came from a litter of cats that are all unwell , he has a respiratory problem and a very horrible ear infection! He’s on antibiotics every day twice a day and will be for weeks to come! He’s made lots of improvements and his weight is up and down! Hopefully he gets to 100% soon! He’s looking a lot brighter and more social too! Thank you for all the lovely messages xx - Rachel and Binx xx

@Rkgxo , sharing a post beloved Susi shared on "fattening up brian" thread :

You can also feed him glop--it is extremely healthy and meant to fatten up sick or orphaned cats. Here are a couple of recipes for it:
ALTABELLA CATTERY'S KITTEN GLOP

INGREDIENTS:
1 lg. can evaporated milk (not Milnot)
2 tbsp. plain yogurt (not diet)
2 tbsp. mayonnaise (real)
1 tbs. Karo Syrup (light)
1 pkg. Knox gelatin
1 egg yolk (beaten)
1 cup of liquid unflavored Pedialyte

INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix milk, yogurt, mayonnaise and syrup together well.
Bring 1 cup water to boil and mix in Knox gelatin; set aside.
Mix egg yolk with small amount of milk mixture and beat well.
Add gelatin and water to milk mixture and beat well. Add in egg yolk mixture and beat well.
Pour into a freezer safe bowl or similar type of bowl with a cover and set in refrigerator.
We usually use Ice Cube Trays for our glop pudding. Pudding will last for two weeks covered in refrigerator.
Always warm pudding to room temperature (milk form) before feeding.
It is very rich in calcium, this pudding can be used as a supplement for kittens, sick cats and show cats to put on weight. Several Veterinarians have approved this recipe as being balanced and nutritious.


FRANNY SYUFY'S ABOUT.COM GLOP

Popularly known as "Kitty Glop" among breeders, this recipe is packed with nutrition for orphaned kittens, nursing mother cats and their babies, cats recuperating from illness and older cats who need nutritional supplementing. Some recipes call for canned goats milk; if you have it readily available it's fine, otherwise canned evaporated cows' milk works well.¹ The recipe sets up to a gelatin-like consistency in the refrigerator, and can be stored there for up to two weeks. It can also be frozen in an ice tray for convenience in serving. To serve, warm to room temperature. Do not pour back unused portions into the mix.

12 oz. of water
1 envelope Knox Gelatin
1 12oz can of whole evaporated milk (not skim)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons plain yogurt, not nonfat

Boil the water, add the gelatin - stir well. Add the following ingredients in order, mixing well after each addition: 1/2 of the canned milk, mayonnaise and yogurt; the rest of the milk. Variations include the addition of kitty vitamins, acidophilus, and/or pureed baby food meat such as lamb, chicken, or beef. Franny adds: "I have seen variations with two egg yolks added, but I would caution against this, due to the risk of salmonella with raw eggs. For very easy mixing, you can use a blender at low speed, but I also like a bowl with a wire whisk."





DEBBIE ARSICH'S BELLBOOKNBENGAL GLOP

Pedialyte: 10-12 ounces
Goat's Milk: 12 ounce can
Knox gelatin: 1 package
Mayonnaise (the real stuff): 2 Tablespoons
Plain, Live Culture Yogurt: 2 Tablespoons
Karo Syrup: 1 teaspoon
Baby Meat (I use Beechnut turkey or veal): 2 jars

Love wasn't put in your heart to stay, love isn't love til you give it away.

That was a great post Suzie . I'm sure he will pick up weight now that he's feeling better. Mine love the meat baby food also.

 

[Beckinboots]

Sorry to hear Binx hasn't been very well. I'm sure he'll pick up under your watchful eye.

 

[Catzzzmeow]

They are so fragile when young. Very sad to hear the whole litter is having issues. Binx is very lucky to have you doing all you can to help him get well. What antibiotic is he on?

Hi everyone , a little update.
Unfortunately I had to make the decision to put my little boy Binx to sleep yesterday. It was such a hard decision but the right one! As his body began to shut down and he became so ill and unresponsive I’m absolutely heartbroken but he is no longer in pain or stressed! The process was so peaceful. Il always love my wee boy! And miss him so much. Again thank you for all the support you have all given me . Rest in peace Binx
