Mini the Micro Kitty

11/15/2023

Time for a Mini update! We saw our vet for shots almost 3 weeks ago and she was thrilled with the progress Mini has made. Unfortunately a few days after our vet visit Mini started showing symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. It began with crusty eyes but was more concerning when the nasal discharge started. A week and a half into it we were finally able to get in to she the vet and she was prescribed antibiotics and eye drops. I am pleased to report she's back to her daredevil self! She did have a bit of a hiccup in her weight gain when her nose was runny, but she has since reached the 2 pound mark and this morning surpassed 1 kg, weighing in at 1.020kg! I'm so proud of this little lady for her resilience! She's a tough cookie🥰

It took Mini a couple weeks to figure this toy out, but she loves it now! Watch to the end for Jack's crazed cameo🤣

Mini and her brother Brian have been with us for 4 weeks now. They are both doing great. Mini is growing like a w**d, weighing in at 710g this morning, a gain of 450g in 4 weeks. She climbs like crazy, is off kitten formula, and is eating watered down canned food from a dish 5-6 times a day. She loves toys and "her" hammock. Vet visit for 3rd shots is scheduled for Friday. We'll see what our vet thinks about her and if they suggest any specialist visits. Enjoy these photos!

Hi everyone 👋 since Mini has a new owner I am going to be handing over the page to her so we can all get updates 🙂 here is a recent picture of Mini and her litter mate Brian. Just to get a perspective, Brian was the smallest in the litter besides Mini! But she is thriving!! She also moved into a household that already had two exotic short hairs!

Mini had her first vet visit today!

8weeks and 4 days old, weight is .26kg

The vet thinks she has dwarfism but the won’t know for sure and make the official diagnoses until she has a little more time to grow so we take her back at 6 months old. No other health requirements needed for now! She’s not on solids yet but we will keep trying. She prefers the bottle still 3-4 times a day but is growing and her heart and internal organs all passed the health screening! She has the soft spot on her head still which is super common in miniature animals I am told, such as mini yorkies and chihuahuas, this may never grow over so she may be prone to seizures which is heart breaking. This is called hydrocephalus but luckily she has no other symptoms besides this. So we have to keep watching her. Problem is she’s WILD she was walking on a really high railing by herself several times now, is always starting fights with her siblings who, now we know, weigh 3.5-4 times as much as her. She climbs up peoples legs and even will climb so high up when I’m preparing her bottle that she will sit on the very top of my head 🤦🏽‍♀️ needless to say she worries me. I’m still praying her soft spot will grow over and she will continue to have positive outcomes as she’s thriving right now. 🙏🏽 mini is mighty

I have to make the time to play with Mini because her siblings are not very gentle with her.

Mini and one day old.

Mini is 8 weeks old today (photo is from today) Still not eating solids but showed a tiny bit of interest. She’s having around 75ml a day of formula now and growing a teeny bit. First vet visit is on Monday with her siblings.

Not a great picture but Mini was not happy. I have to wash her once a day as she gets poo in her fur and after her bum bum bath she wants direct body heat so constantly gets out of her towel of blankie to sit on me so I constantly have to rewrap her…. She does not like that. On a side note surprisingly she’s one of the only kittens that consistently uses the litter box! Who knew.
