The mother got hit on the highway a few days ago, and she left these behind. There were six originally, but two were dead when I happened upon them. So now four remain: 3 girls and 1 boy.
I immediately took them to the local vet as they were all covered in fly eggs, maggots, and lice. So they got some shots, wormed, given intravenous glucose and saline and vitamins. They're perking up pretty good already, now if they'd only eat the kitten replacement milk I have we'd be set.
The vet estimated their age to around 3 weeks. Their eyes are barely open, and they still don't have any erupted teeth, and they don't walk all that good yet.
But they've been given an insecticide bath already and their eyes flushed out. I think if I hadn't found them they wouldn't have lasted the night. They were soaking wet and cold when I found them all huddled up.
Just thought I'd share the cute little buggers.
And as for names, the boy is Pepé and the three girls are: Daisy, Rose, and Violet. Gotta keep up with the skunk cartoon characters. =D
