So. Lillith (Lola, Lee-Lee, Lilly) is not as old as we thought. As it turns out she came from a Bombay breeder to the shelter, who's house was foreclosed on. She's five weeks old. So the shelter LIED about her age (RAWR ANGRY) The shelter JUST gave us her medical file and background today when we stopped by. Our family vet is closed and I am very worried. She's active and plays, but she's having a super tough time with the kibble, and when you pet her, all I feel is her little ribs. We adopted Keiran when he was 14 weeks, so he was well on his way to being a happy, healthy fat-cat-in-charge.
Do I need to be feeding her formula or wet food? I've never had a kitten so young and I want to take the best care of her possible. She's having very painful diarrhea. She eats the kibble and is a good kitty, but I'm afraid it's going right through her, and she's not gaining an benefits from it.
She by all rights is very playful and active, but she has a very stinky, swollen little booty and I'm not sure what the best way is to get some good food in her tummy and what the best option would be for her right now.
Can someone more experienced with very young kittens please help?
