I am working with a sizable cat colony, and one of the mothers had her kittens prematurely in April (around the 10th or 12th--I forget the exact date). I suspect the premature birth might have been brought on by the death of one of the kittens--one of the five was apparently born dead. The other four survived for quite some time; I think she may have injured two of them when she was trying to move them from one corner of the room we had her in to the other, as they both died within a few hours of each other. Two are still surviving. I am still concerned about both of them. The larger and much healthier kitten is wheezing now with diminished energy and appetite; she is eating some solid food. The other kitten is still so, so tiny, and he (she?) lacks energy and won't really eat solid food. I suspect a degree of anemia. I fear losing him. He is so sweet and wants to cuddle and have his tiny body petted--and he's been so plucky so far.
Any suggestions, particularly about the smaller one?
