My brother-in-law found a tiny kitten on a freeway the other day and of course he brought it to me.
He was lethargic and dehydrated (90+ outside)
I statred KMR and pedialyte right away..after 2 days he perked up. I took him to the vet today and doc said he looked good, despite the horrible case of earmites. He did not have fleas..I was shocked!
Doc said he is 5 weeks old and was not to concerned that he will not eat any gruel, just KMR out of a syringe. I tried canned kitten food mixed with KMR and Kitten chow wet and mushed. No way.
He is very alert, Playful...just cutest litte fuzzball.
I keep gruel in his cage all the time just in case he decides to try it, so far i am just wasting food.
Any suggestions how to get him to eat it..or should i just wait a little bit before i try it again
Of course...his name is Freeway!!
