I tried to mail you just now, but I can't find an e-mail address ... Hope she feels better soon.

She won't drink that, so you'll have to inject some in her mouth with a syringe. I really does help, though. I once had four kittens on my hands whose mother had died. I had to feed them artificial milk and their bowels didn't take it very welk. They were becoming very dehydrated and it was the salt water that saved them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
