#panleukopenia

[wolfchanw]

To kick off this year’s kitten season, let me introduce Cakepop (black floof ball) and Tigery (tabby). So named by my 4 year old.

These boys are a LOT bigger than my usual itty bitty bottle babies, but they’re lost their sibling today to panleukopenia, a horrible and contagious virus. So Cakey and Tigery get to spend two weeks with me in quarantine, hopefully staying nice and healthy.

Panleuk can strike kittens down quickly, so my head says don’t get attached. But Cakepop took some Churu out of my hand this evening and I melted a bit. Right now they appear fairly healthy, aside from being a bit thin and dehydrated. At this time they’re getting fluids and an appetite stimulant and I’m watching like a hawk for any signs of illness. Send some good vibes our way if you can spare ‘em!

Oh, and of course, Happy Valentine’s Day!

Had someone bring in their unvaccinated, indoor-outdoor, 7 month old kitten. It is dying of panleuk and is too far gone to have any chance of saving. He's in shock and vocalising.

Please, any donations would be appreciated. My fiance and I barely make enough to cover this. I don’t want to lose him.

I'm off 3 days and return to parvo/panleuk hell. It's coming in off the streets, it's being spread in the shelter. Gotta wear gowns between each animal now. There's new protocols all over and were in emergency intake only.

I can't. Help.

Last Monday I found a kitten at work. He was cold and hungry, I couldn’t bring myself to leave him there. He was about 3 weeks old and weighed 250 grams.

Brought him home, woke up in the middle of the night to feed him. All well until I noticed blood in his stool.

Took him to the vet, told them all about it, he lost 30 grams in 2 days. He tested positive for panleukopenia. He was hypothermic, all the way down to 32 degrees. The vet told me we’ll talk on the phone if he makes it past the night. I woke up every 2 hours in fear I will not find him alive anymore. Four days of intensive care at home, warm bottles, subcutaneous hydration injections, he is now past the critical moment of the illness.

He’s incredibly playful, eats well, and just wants to explore more and more. I was planning to bring him up and then put him up for adoption, but considering all the effort I went through with him, that is not an option anymore.

I named him Lucky, because he is my lucky boy ❤️

If anyone is able, please help my friend raise money for a foster kitten suffering from neurological issues due to panleukopenia! She needs an MRI to diagnose at the very least, which is very expensive. Willow is a very sweet tiny baby who can't control her back legs very well, and we would like to see her get better if we can.

Progress!! Tigery is a shy guy…who can blame him…a stray kitten caught and brought to the shelter where he was immediately bathed due to exposure to disease and shuttled off to a foster home. Frankly, I’m more surprised that Cakepop is as sociable as he is.

But! As with most cats, Tigery is susceptible to Churu. He was even purring here. (Note Cakepop staring enviously at him from across the room. Yes, I fixed the puppy pads on the wall after this!)

So far, no signs of illness. Four days down, ten to go.

It's great fun when you've got a good pace going in spay/neuter land and then a kitten you just induced releases extremely bloody diarrhea.

Nothing like shutting down surgery for an hour to deep clean because weeeeeeee have the panleuk.
