the abandoned kitten i bottle fed is now 9 weeks old and doing great, but he took a tumble off the cat tree today and though it wasn't terribly tall, he seemed to land bad and has been favoring his paw since then. he doesnt fuss when i touch it or bend it/test it. it's definitely not broken or...
he's drinking on his own (water) as of tonight, and he had his first bowl of mushed up kitten kibble! just a few days more of formula, i can barely believe it!
well i guess I just had to complain, he started eating tonight from a bowl!! I had to put his probiotic powder on there (he has the runs) but he loves that stuff so much he gobbled it right up and now understands
when i made this name back in 2016 i was kind of in a panic to just get to asking something and didn't really consider my name, is it possible to change my name?
two questions~
one) his poop is a perfect soft toothpaste and he goes on his own in the litter but he does often fuss when going. his rectum is very raw, so i've taken to using coconut oil on it, but any thoughts beyond the obvious? no signs of parasites.
two) we're about 6 days into the gruel...
he is doing even better! the vet has said to wait and see if he recovers on his own, but other than a bit of an irritated throat (he's on softened / wet food only still) he is his normal self!
he is doing so good! all the swelling is gone, he's playing and eating like 3x what he had been (catching up to his normal intake) his wound is healing well, he still has a bit of trouble swallowing anything big so he's staying on wet food but, he's a happy kitty
after 2 doses of SEB he spit up a bunch of white mucus that was kinda in gross sticky string, after that he ate TWO bowls of food, walked around purring and can MEOW!!! he's also trying to get the other cats to play with him through his kennel, I think he's going to pull through!! thank you so...
i have been doing it with the kitten i found, from 1 week to now 4.5 weeks and weaning and he is just fine! no idea if that's 'ill advised' but we've had no issues!
did he possibly eat anything unusual or lick anything foul tasting? i don't know much about rabies but i know my cats will foam like this when something nasty gets in their mouths. wishing you luck in this though <3 thank you for treating baby with love
just gave him some food with the SEB syrup and he ate almost half the bowl with a good bit in there! im hoping he will start feeling much better soon and able to eat more. will keep all updated
we are 4 weeks old now!!!!!! and almost exactly 16oz. He has a bit of a hard time walking around without losing his balance but he is driven to explore a lot now. I know it's getting close to time to think about weaning him, can anyone offer advice on how to wean a bottle baby? he's pretty stuck...
tonight i found the wound in his ear and it was quite pungent and nasty, i cleaned it thoroughly, which kitty liked, and afterward he ate his food and propolis quite happily (he also had a big poop and a couple pees and drank on his own!!!) I am hopeful he's on the mend. his SEB will be here in...
