Found a tiny (less than a pound) kitten at a local campground. Unable to stand or walk, eyes fully open, has deciduous canines, cold to the touch, gums extremely pale, eyes very gunky. Local vet guessed him at about 4 weeks, temp at 99. We took half a dozen ticks off him. When I offered him a blob of canned kitten food, he nearly took my finger tip off when he grabbed it, and ate like crazy. Went home with meds, kitten food, and a can of KMR powder. He ate some kibble, then about four hours later I gave him about 2 oz of KMR milk, which he sucked up From a saucer. But he then vomited the KMR about an hour later. He’s now gotten a little feisty about having his eyes and face cleaned, but he’s incredibly weak. Did we overdo the food? We were so amazed that he wanted to eat so badly. I was going to give him some more KMR later this evening, but should I? I’m in a rural small town, and it is (of course) a long holiday weekend. Should I give him a little more KMR or canned kitten food, and how often? I’m not sure this little guy is going to make it, but I want to give him a chance. I frankly was NOT impressed with this vet, so may have to see if the only other vet in town can fit us in tomorrow (they were booked solid today, so I had no choice :-( ) Thank you for any advice - I’ve not dealt with one this little and debilitated.
