The other kitten gemstones are doing very well so far,
Introducing the #DrippinKittens! We have Diamond, Ruby, and Sapphire. Rest In Peace little Opal (last slide) she passed away last night, likely due to the umbilical infection. The other gemstones are doing very well so far, they finally started latching last night and are off the tube! They’re nice and warm in an incubator that @wolfie_smiles kindly let me borrow ♡ @teenytinyfosters said.
Milkies with Ruby yesterday! ♡
The gems are back on the tube just to be sure they’re getting what they need so they will maintain their energy and stay as active as they are now since they’re not eating perfectly yet.
They look like completely different kittens from when I got them and are already starting to get cute little personalities! @teenytinyfosters said.

Milkies and ear wiggles with Diamond! ♥︎ ♡
He’s doing sooo much better than I expected when I first saw his belly and eyes.
I was worried most for him being smallest, most infected umbilical, and way more fleas and maggots on him than his siblings.
I’m always amazed when one of the tiniest turn around and become one of the strongest!
I’m being cautiously optimistic that they will all make it, they’re improving a lot. Still keeping a super close eye on them all. @teenytinyfosters said.

Milkies with Sapphire!!💎✨
He’s still hanging onto his umbilical cord forever, possibly just due to the infection. I actually had to trim ⅔ of it a couple days ago. It was so long that he was stepping on it which risked worsening his healing infection. (You never want to prematurely remove a cord, just like humans. I only do so if completely dry and posing a risk, leaving about 1 inch left)
All the droplets are doing amazing, all are off the tube and super excited eaters! @teenytinyfosters said.

Ruby having her milkies yesterday. She started having diarrhea yesterday morning but eating well, but her midnight feeding she didn’t want to eat enough, i waited 1 hour tried again but she wasn’t having it so she’s back on the tube to make sure she keeps her weight up and doesn’t decline. The other two gems started getting diarrhea as well today but are still eating very well so far. They’re on a new round of antibiotics. Hopefully Ruby will regain her appetite once she’s feeling better! @teenytinyfosters said.
