So I got home today and he is doing a lot worse then yesterday. He is really lethargic, has pale gums, and is dehydrated. My mom has now decided we will not give him albon as everyone she's talked to tells her not to give him it, the shelter refuses unless he tests positive for coccidia, and the...

I didn't think so. We will definitely try to get the albon today as my dad is dropping me off and my mom is going to take a poop sample into the shelter and hopefully pick it up.

I was just thinking and I don't know, but at this age is there any possibility that we could mix a little bit of pumpkin pure into his bottle to help with the poop? We have used the pumpkin for kittens before who have started to wean already at about 4 weeks old. However we didn't know if it was...

We haven't been able to do much today sadly. My mom's car broke down and with my dad and I working and having both of the other cars we have only been able to continue feeding him Pedialyte mixed with his formula and a small dap of nutrical after every other feeding give or take. We have also...

Sorry for the late response. We were talking to the shelter and we will hopefully be able to go in tomorrow. We are hoping to get albon instead of the regular dewormer they gave because we are thinking he might have cocidia on top of whatever else he has going on. If they don't give anything and...

I am pretty sure there was a vet there that saw him and they tested for cocidia and wormes and didn't find anything. They also gave him a dewormer. I don't believe they said anything else. They also suggested not to use goat's milk like I was telling my mom that you suggested. I still want to...

My mom just got back home from the store with Pedialyte and we are going to try that until we can get him to the vet. I read somewhere that it is suggested to do 50% Pedialyte with 50% water for 24 hours. I don't believe we will actually be able to take him to a different vet because my family...

He also seems to be shedding/losing fur. Which isn't normal for this age.

So my mom took him to the vets today. Sounds like they did nothing put give him dewormer.... She doesn't fully believe in the goat's milk and I am still trying to convince her. His stomach is huge for not eating anything. Could it be gas or something else? He still has liquid poops and is not...

We don't currently have Pedialyte, but hopefully we can get some of the stuff tonight. I am going to let my mom go handle that as I have to wake up really early for work tomorrow and am going to go to bed. Not sure what place sells goat's milk or what is open yet, but she is going to look up...

We are using powdered GNC. We actually just fed him and he had more liquid poop. At the end when we were cleaning him off he actually started to have a clear like poop? I believe my mom is going to the shelters vet tomorrow as I work. So hopefully they will provide something. We are also...

So we are having problems with the kitten now. At first is was liquid diarrhea, then constipation, and now it's back to diarrhea again. The first day we moved him to a bottle instead of a syringe (about 6 days old) he ate a ton before we realized it. 15-20 ml (I believe), since then he has...

Ok thank you! We have had kittens open up eyes late or at about the time it normally happens, but never this early. I wasn't too worried right now, but it's nice to know that it does happen. I'm just happy that he seems to be eating well right now! The shelter we foster for actually just started...

We just got our first bottle baby foster kitten for this season! We haven't even had him an hour yet. Just wanted to post him awhile with 1 question I had, but first what we told happened to the rest of his family. The mom was a barn cat and had the kittens, but then when they were 1 day old or...

Whoops. Should have refreshed before posting. Anyways listen to what Sarthur said over me because they have more experience. As I have only helped my mom foster. (Well except our last kitten that I took on myself untill they were over the bottle baby stage)
