My friend saved a kitten from dogs two days ago, still had umbilical cord (dried) and eyes were closed. I am the only person close with cats so im taking care of him. We tried to find a milk-mother without a luck, area is full of stray dogs and unsafe. So i take care of him as i am searching for a milk-mother.
I feed him kitten formula every 2.5 hours, he pees after every feeding but doesnt poop every time. I fill a hot water bag and wrap it with a towel, put it under him and change it often. I have taken care of 4 week old kittens before but i am very new at infant care. I have to go to school 8 hours a day so i take care of him just before i leave. I come in lunch break too so he is alone at max 4 hours. The problem is while he is sleeping he makes weird hiccup like noises sometimes and his stomach grumbles during day. What is it that im doing wrong? At first i was scared i got formula in lungs and this caused hiccup like movement and noise but i was very careful and noise is not always happening. So i doubt its because of formula aspiration. He was kinda constipated when i first got him so i added just a little more water to formula and he poops like toothpaste now and looks healthy. I am worried, i will take him to vet in 4-5 days but i am scared something will happen before i took him. Somebody please help, whats this hiccup like growling sound? I can take him tomorrow if its something serious but i am worried about failing classes too.
