Kitten And Pumpkin

[Pen'sMomma]

I found a stray kitten and he has worms and fleas. Both are being treated but I got some pumpkin to help with his stomach and mixed about a tablespoon with his food. Afterward, I read that I was supposed to add way less. He's somewhere between 8-11 weeks maybe. Will he be okay?

I keep trying to upload a picture but the site won't let me.

Hi!
I'm not a vet, but just keep an eye on his poops, into tonight.
If he isn't pooping as usual, you may want to call your vet.
I know tonight and tomorrow is the holiday but if you call your regular clinics number, listen to the greeting and they should provide an emergency number so you could talk to someone if need be

Thanks!

Pumpkin is a wonder fiber. It both adds stool bulk and regulates moisture. Your boy’s poop will likely be huge but I believe he’ll be okay in the end. So to speak. If he does get bunged up and needs a little help, a very very small amount of raw egg yolk (no white), eighth to quarter teaspoon, should get things moving in 12 to 24 hours. Probably less than that for a kitten?

He should be fine! In future, a teaspoon is plenty.

We’d love to see a picture!

I'm going to take a new one and try to post it today!

He' s okay. The pumpkin is helping but sometimes there is still blood in his stool. I gave him a dewormer about a week ago so I think he may have another kind of parasite. The org I reached out to is going to get him vetted and then we will also take a stool sample to get him checked out but other than that he's great. I am still not sure why I can't post a pic. Once it said the file was too big.

I figured it out!
