Sorry for the late reply..
I was super bussy! I really got worried over this kitten but the big happiness is that he servived and it turned to be he had a fever. His momma is a great lady i bet she healed him hehe^^" Before I went out, just wiped the litttle boy with wet cloth to make his temperature lower (guess it helped kinda) &When i was home he was fine cuddling with momy
But I noticed his body is sweaty and he lost weight too :/ Is there anything i could do??

Ya guess it was because of the fever..

Im happy he survived the attack. but he is probably still ill - very ill, so its still a vet errand... Which is the best advice, let a vet check him up and giving him proper medical treatment.

Home theraphy? Your cooling him off was good. Do so again if necessary.
Cats dont sweat - normally. So him being "sweaty" is either because something very extraordinary is going on, or its simply momma washing him off. She is washing him extra as she senses he needs help.
Some moms abandon a sick kitten, to save the others. But some care extra for the sick.

You can try to extra feed him. Can you get RAW goats milk? Best fresh, but frozen may be OK... It has sometimes an edge.

Stefanz !! After few days finally he had no fever anymore but he aint gaining weight and he keeps fainting while eating i weighted him (210grams onli) at week 3 where his litterm8s are [360/390/410g] and the strange thing he keeps tumbling over and flips on his head (kinda dizzy or something?) also while sucking his mom's nipple he holds for max 2 mins then fading away. I bet that's the reason he aint eating well and so thin.. but why's that?? could it be his littermates are not letting him field to eat?? hes sooo weakk T_T I want to help as much as i want but he refuses to bottlefeed goat milk :/

You need to begin supplementing this kitten immediately with kitten formula, or he may die.

Wrap him in a towel and use a syringe to feed him very slowly, tummy down, head up - never on its back.

You need to feed him every 2 hours until he gets stronger. Put honey on his gums also before feeding. Feed 1-2mLs to start, more later on if he wants it.

You should also take him to the vet. He may need medicine. He does not sound well or healthy.

 

[areen]

Only 2mls every 2 hours? Vet is very far from here i put honey water on his gums today and im buying kitten formula tomuro ! Im trying my best to hold him and put him on his moms nipples everytime she's nursing..
He looks scary big head little body and swallen blurry eyes no color T_T hope he gets better tomorrow !!!

 

[Sarthur2]

Can you get formula today?

How far is the vet?

This kitten needs help immediately!

All stores locked today its sunday T_T

Ima try goat milk with syringe NOW

 

[StefanZ]

Goats milk should be OK, but its easier with a syringe. Tummy down, head up, in the corner of the mouth dropwise. When he learns and accept, he may even suckle himself.
Alternatively you can try with a small sponge, of the make up type. It works nicely for some kittens.

When nursing from momma, he gets the most in the first minute, later on its mostly suckling for comfort. But put him to momma when the others are sleeping, so he doesnt get disturbed by them.
And yes, proceed with supplement feeding. This with putting on honey sweeted water on lips and gum is a good trick.

[StefanZ]

You are correct, this dosage is good for a newborn. He shall have at least the double a day, but as he also gets some from momma, the supplement dose may be difficult to count. Also, better to start with a little and see if he wants more, then overfill him and he perhaps not wants momas milk...

Anyways, he will always prefer momma if he can get anything from momma. So supplement him the main share of his daily need yourself, with goats milk and or kmr. He will anyways get some from momma when he suckles on her.

Ok i just gave him 2mls now and put honey on his gums before feeding.. everytime i dropped milk in his mouth's corner (tummy down head up) he felt like choking i dont know whyyy and kinda hes not being able to breath well hes whining and crying calmly :'''( i will contact the vet even tho he will tell me he cant tonight...

 

[areen]

when he suckle on his momma looks like he cant breath while sucking becasue he lets go in the same moment he trys to suckleeeeeeee T_T_T im only watching and cryiiing

 

[Sarthur2]

It sounds like the kitten desperately needs emergency vet help. Probably antibiotics if it's not too late. And fluids. He should have already been to a vet from the day he first got sick.

I fear he will die unless you can get him to an emergency vet clinic today.

 

[areen]

No vet reply :/ HEY can i give him AUGMENTIN AMOXICILLIN / CLAVULANATE Antibiotic? i read somewhere on the internet that this drug is safe for animals and works on dogs and cats.. and thankfully i have it here ! what's your openion?^^
