I fished a kitten out of my pool on Monday. I got her cleaned up and dry. I checked her lungs and it doesn't seem she took on any water. She has all of her 6 week kitten teeth, and her eyes have begun to change from blue to green(maybe yellow it's hard to tell). Best guess she was about 6 weeks when we found her and nearly 7 weeks now.
We have her in a kitten room eating high quality wet food mixed with dry kibble as well as dry kibble left out at all times (she doesn't really seem to recognize it as food yet but hopefully soon).
She's got an appointment with my primary vet on Wednesday for her first round of shots.
My only real concern is she is *tiny*. I weighed her this week (between 6-7 weeks old) and she's only 1lb. She's very active and playful. She doesn't eat as much as I would expect but she is always very excited to see her food. I feed roughly an oz of wet food per meal with maybe 20 kibbles mixed in and she eats maybe half of that each meal.
We are feeding 3 times a day due to scheduling. I bought some stage two milk replacer for 4-8 week kittens but she won't drink any.
Anything else I could do ahead of my vet visit to help her weight?
