Long story as short as I can make it, I've been trying to earn the trust of a feral momma cat and kittens and then started working on trapping them. I caught four of seven kittens over the past couple days, and then last night one of them started having intense diarrhea, and then phantom diarrhea pushing to the point that now its prolapsed its rectum. I've been keeping it moist and clean, but I can't get into a vet until monday at the minimum, if they will even see me then (for some reason most of the vets around here are booked out to mid October, which is wild. My dog had an allergic reaction a week ago and the soonest our regular vet could offer us was october 7th. Luckily I know how to handle things like that, or it would have been awful for my pup). I read a lot online about keeping it clean, warm rinses, keep it moist/use vaseline, and some suggested honey, sugar, and preparation h.
Does anyone have experience with this? Its a bit too much for me to massage it back in at the moment, its very inflamed. I've been offering (and on occasion syringe feeding to avoid dehydration) a mix of KMR and Pedialyte but I would like to help this kitty better. I honestly don't even trust my local vets much, they really screwed over my senior diabetic cat last year. There are two vet clinics/hospitals in my area and both cater more towards dogs and have been very poor at dealing with cats. I will take this one in if I can, but I don't have high hopes. I am planning to deworm and vaccinate them myself (I'm familiar with giving shots, thanks to the senior cat I mentioned. These vets don't offer any kind of discounted services for bringing in a litter or for TNRing as far as I know. The plan is to socialize, get fixed, and adopt out and TNR mom). Going to TSC to get dewormer and anything else I can in a few hours. If there is anything I can get or do to help this little baby get through the weekend I would appreciate any and all advice.
