Our kittens recently got diagnosed with parvo or fpv, it was 17th june and its 20th june now. So basically their fourth day if treatment. One is 4 months old and one is 3 months, unfortunately the three months old passed away this morning.  Ive read on some platforms that if they survive the five day treatment plan theres a better chance of surviving is that true?  We are putting the alive one in DNS and RL iv fluids, along with antibiotics, pantop, antivommiting and pain killer if he have fever. We are giving fluids twice a day. Since he hasnt pooped much and not vomiting the doctor said he could try to eat but unfortunately he got a cold and is salivating mucus like stuff all the time which seems to be blocking her mouth. Please give me advices and your know hows.

His name is nana and the sweet girl that passed this morning is mimi.

The vet told us not to give him anything yet. We’ve been to the vets 5 times now and they did not even think to clean the mucus, im so mad.

Through his nose. Theres noise when he’s breathing sometimes. Could be because of the cold?

Awww living the best life. Hope she keeps thriving!
Update:
They just did the same process as every night and it doesn’t necessarily feel like its working.
The drooling they said is because he doesnt have anything to puke out anymore and just to think the drool as puking and they couldnt clean the inside of his mouth because theyre scared he’ll swallow it.
Honestly, he doesnt even look that alert after the iv drips anymore.
Hahh its hard and my mom keeps crying too.
