He started her on clavamox twice a day for 14 days and I am also washing the area with Chlorhexidine soaked gauze twice a day. She has done a complete 180...

    3 Week Old Orphan Not Gaining

    Another question... sorry! Pita, the kitten, has started to become very vocal. We keep him in a large enclosed kennel so that he doesn’t get tossed around by the older kittens.

    Worried I’m Not Doing Enough For Our Orphan

    Yes, his eyes opened completely on Sunday, 7/1. I tried syringe feeding this morning after he nursed with mom for about 10 minutes and he did really well! Willingly took 6 mL then went right back to sleep

    Worried I’m Not Doing Enough For Our Orphan

    The back story: We are fostering a mama with six 7 week old kittens. All healthy and thriving. Someone brought in a single newborn orphaned kitten to the local shelter and they couldn’t find a nursing mother for him so we ended up with him. The current situation: Mama cat will nurse the...
