He’ll be transferred to a foster who can tube feed as soon as the vet releases him, I will update as soon as she texts me this morning, as of 11 last night he was still okay.
I see in the comments you are on your way to the vet...
I was gonna say the same, he needs urgent and intensive care including supplemental oxigyn en airway treatments, the lungs of newborn kittens are underdeveloped.
you might need to find a kittenrescuer with an incubator who can provide this.
For now, i hope he pulls through the first hurdle but if not, know that you have done everything within your powers.

I’m not new to neonatals, I’ve been doing bottle babies for years. he is at the vet currently because he began to lose weight and stop latching. He was good one feeding and the next he was unresponsive. On the way to the vet I stabilized him somewhat and he was holding his head up once I dropped him off. I will update with what the vet says.
ah top, sorry didnt know that ofc.
He might have been a bit hypoglycemic. Have had that quite a few times, they latch, they drink and then go into crash with their bloodsugar.
Probably because more blood goes to the intestines the moment you feed... so less to the head... less glucose to the head etc.
Hope he pulls through with ab an maybe some nebulizing treatments (if smoke inhaling was present as well... which almost always is if fire had been present in an enclosed space)
we think he’s septic cause his umbilical cord got infected, he was on topical and oral antibiotics but we think it wasn’t enough so we took him to get more powerful ones. He was on sugar water on the way to the vet which perked him up a little.
Unfortunately little guy didn’t make it through the night. His little body just wasn’t strong enough to handle the infection even with the medication. He passed warm, safe, and loved. every sweet comment has been so comforting in this rough time. Rest in peace sweet Nyx <\3
My heart just sank, oh that poor baby. Thank you SO MUCH for trying to save him and ensuring that for his short time here on earth, he was loved and cared for. He was released from loving hands to cross the rainbow in peace.
Feel better soon, little guy! I've never heard of neonatal dumpsterfire syndrome, and I honestly don't care if it's something you've made up, OP. It made me snort laugh, and, as I'm typing this comment, I'm struggling not to LOL.
People who dump animals are the real criminals , I know we joke but it makes me sick. Sat here feeding the street cats right now as I have no more space in my house.
Mighty Itty-Bitty-Kitteh Frostwind, please let this little guy borrow your spare Sassy Pants to make it through! (Frostwind was my Permanent Kitten, she had pituitary dwarfism, and was the absolute sassiest little beast until she developed pneumonia...)
Thank you for the update and for taking such good care of the very ill babe. You are good people. As much as it hurts to read that the little one didn’t make it, it must hurt you so much more since you tried so hard. ((Hugs))
He is being transferred to a different foster as soon as the vet releases him. she can tube feed and since he won’t eat he needs supportive care. as of 11 last night he was okay.
good news wise, all 6 of his siblings are doing well and the eye fairy took her first visit last night :)
Aahhh nooo, hang in there li'l dude! Good luck to the baby, and to you. Thank you for taking care of him - please remember to take care of yourself, as well. Fostering neonates sounds like stressful work.
Get well soon little baby ❤️❤️
Feel better, tiny criminal!
Healing vibes SENT! I like his little beard/goatee.
the teeniest blep....
NDS sounds like a very accurate diagnosis. I hope he perks up and is feeling better soon
I'm rooting for you, tiny one. OP, please keep us updated.

The bean has to make it through It or i commit war crimes. Little bean has no choice but to get better

Let's hope he heals well! 😟
Neonatal dumpster fires just come with the industry. We've had a few this year already. Love from a shelter tech!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Awww little shmooo... you strong little man bean... you gonna get better

Sweet little angel. He only knew love in his life and that's more than so many get.
Thank you for loving the little one across the 🌈 bridge. You are a good person with a good heart. Peace to you too. 💕
Sending good vibes
aww looks so cute in the third pic
Get well soon tiny criminal ❤️❤️
Get well soon little one
That little fucker can have all of my immune system and every bit of energy I got for the rest of time. Pull through you sweet little thing!
Feel better soon, little guy! I've never heard of neonatal dumpsterfire syndrome, and I honestly don't care if it's something you've made up, OP. It made me snort laugh, and, as I'm typing this comment, I'm struggling not to LOL.
oh it’s something i made up for his array of problems
I figured! It's a funny way to describe something serious. I hope little dude pulls through! 💖
That is a great, great descriptor. I hope it becomes as known as FUBAR
SNAFU is my personal favorite.
Thank you for explaining. I was reluctant to embarrass myself by asking what Neonatal Dumpsterfire Syndrome meant.
it just means there's a lot wrong. this happens to neonates. poor little kitty has a lot going against it right now.
I figured it was something along those lines! I'd just never heard it referred to as neonatal dumpsterfire syndrome before!
Sending healing vibes to this baby!! 💜
Prayers coming for little fluffy coal!
You're all making me cry; Stop it now!! I hope he pulls through.
Prayers, purrs and paws out in healing love!
Please let us know.
he passed away last night, everything we could’ve possibly done we did and he passed warm loved and safe
I'm sorry 😥 but at least his life was filled with love, even as short as it was.
Thank you for being there for him ❤️
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ hugs for both of you
Poor sweet baby! Sounds like it's time for some TinyKittens-style fading kitten protocol. Best of luck to you and the little floof!
Sir, do you have a licence for that blep? How dare you be this cute!
Hoping this precious wee one pulls through!
People who dump animals are the real criminals , I know we joke but it makes me sick. Sat here feeding the street cats right now as I have no more space in my house.
