Miracle still has not had anymore attacks thankfully. He is getting really big and more playful every day. Our other two cats in the house are still getting used to him, one plays with him every day and the other is still a little iffy about him. Thank you all for you prays and advise with little Miracle.</p> <p>If anyone wants to see more recent pictures I have them posted on my Myspace profile. <a href="http://WWW.Myspace.com/satans_baby2" rel="nofollow">WWW.Myspace.com/satans_baby2</a> I'm always posting new pictures of him. I can't figure out how to change my picture on here anymore. I've changed it three times already but always stays the same so I give up </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962/page/2#post-223699 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 13:44:37 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 223699@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>That's excellent news WJ, give him an ear tickle from me! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962#post-223688 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 13:37:43 +0000 Salem 223688@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>So happy that Miracle is feeling much better!

Miracle had another attack on Saturday but again we got him right out of it. He has not had another on since then which is really good. Almost a week straight with out one, it's the longest he has went since we got him. We have him started on hard food now but only a little a day. He still gets his soft food, plus he gets the Cat's Milk now. He is also litter training and doing really great. Thank you too everyone. I will keep you all updated also there wil be a new pic in my profile of him. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962#post-208129 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 11:26:07 +0000 gabrielle 208129@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>hi winds_jenn!!! i would like to know how is miracle????is so cute!!! gos bless you!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962#post-206371 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:18:11 +0000 Sheba's Mom in Phoenix, AZ 10/8 206371@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>He is so sweet! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962#post-206344 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:53:29 +0000 winds_jenn 206344@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I have a really good vet in Palm Harbor Florida, It's a emergency hospital but they take really good care of him. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962#post-206311 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:10:29 +0000 Tigerlilly 206311@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Little Miracle...he's such a cute little Yoda baby.

I wish I could post a picture of Miracle so everyone could see him. He is on a diet of only soft kitten food so he gets the nutrients he needs, we also buy the cat's milk for him and give him plenty of water too. He eats very little hard kitten food cause the vet said we should slowly start him on the hard stuff. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962#post-205698 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:48:51 +0000 Sheba's Mom in Phoenix, AZ 10/8 205698@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>awww, Bless you for trying to save him!

Especially one with diabetes. Please keep us posted and welcome to TDK..wish it was under happier circumstances. :( </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962#post-205617 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:01:04 +0000 miu 205617@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I too have a diabetic cat. I inject insulin twice a day. My vet recommended liquid honey for first aid after collapse. Good luck with your kitten! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962#post-205611 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:53:02 +0000 Buttercup 205611@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>just fyi,feeding him sugar water is to keep his blood sugar from getting too low,that would make him crash.Besides sugar water he needs a diet as Ann said(above).Sugar water doesn't provide enough calories for him to grow on. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962#post-205610 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:49:04 +0000 anncetera2 205610@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>You need to work closely with your vet, if this kitten is to be kept healthy. This kitten needs to eat frequently, probably at least 4 times per day at his age.</p> <p>Diabetes at such a young age is difficult (assuming that other illnesses have been definitively ruled out). It could be type I or type II diabetes. If it's type I, insulin injections will be needed daily. If it's type II, it may be able to be controlled with diet.</p> <p>A high-protein, lower-carbohydrate diet should help. (Since it's for a kitten, it should probably be relatively high-fat, too.) Make sure to keep track of how much water the kitten's drinking, too, especially if he seems thirsty all the time.</p> <p>More information on diabetes in cats at:</p> <p><a href="http://www.manhattancats.com/Articles/Diabetes.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.manhattancats.com/Articles/Diabetes.html</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962#post-205565 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:53:47 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 205565@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi WJ, welcome to TDK, sorry you've found us in such traumatic circumstances. Sounds like the vet is keeping tabs on the situation, hope you're able to keep your kitten well after all your careful nursing. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962#post-205562 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:50:31 +0000 winds_jenn 205562@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The vet told us to give him sugar water. The sugar water is because he is Diabetic, so if his insulan gets low he will collapse. He is in another medicine too for the anemic. He is doing much better right now up playing and eating on his own again. I called the vet and she said just to keep on eye on how much he is eating and drinking to make sure it's enough. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962#post-205531 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:07:23 +0000 SoxsMom 205531@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>If he is anemic why sugar water? Shouldn't he be on vitamin supplements? Anemia is one of the first diagnosis when a cat has FeLv. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962#post-205528 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:02:37 +0000 WillowandWindismom 205528@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sugar water might be appropriate if he had insulin issues but I don't think it would provide anywhere near enough nutrition. You are wonderful to try and care for this little baby. But I would make another visit to the vet. As Leeny says, sometimes there is simply no cure for what is wrong.</p> <p>Please keep us posted. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/7962#post-205526 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 12:53:56 +0000 SoxsMom 205526@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Please have him tested for feline leukimia. Why are you feeding him sugar water? I suggest you get him back to the vet. </p>
