Run...don't walk...to a vet and have them tested for this:

Quote:Feline parvovirus infection is probably the greatest major disease threat to any rescue facility and infection carries a very high mortality rate, particularly in unvaccinated kittens
But even worse is this,
Quote:and parvoviruses are particularly dangerous as they are able to survive for long periods (up to several years) in the environment, and are resistant to many disinfectants.
Thus until you are certain they don't have parvo you cannot bring another unvaccinated kitten into your home.
Our Rescue took in 5 puppies with parvo last year. Because we got them early they all lived....although it cost us $25,000.
They are cute. I hope they have something else.
Oh gosh, that's awful. Thanks Min. I took them to the vet on Friday when they were having bloody diarrhea. He gave me meds and now the blood is gone but the diarrhea is still really bad, so I'm taking them again assuming it doesn't go away by then.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
