Hi all, rescued a 3wk old kitty this morning. He's really emaciated. Poor thing. We've tried giving him KMR which he doesn't drink that much. Anyway, when I came home from errand, I gave him a warm bath, to remove the gunk on his frail body. He was tolerant about it. What a brave boy!
Anyway, when I dried him up, I saw "pimple" looking bumps on his belly. I then washed it with hydrogen peroxide, in which one popped out. It really looks like pimples to me. Then I poured betadine on the area. He's now asleep, maybe too tired from crying & taking a bath.
I tried feeding him a while ago, but he won't take the bottle. He would chew on the nipple, and if I squirt milk on him he won't drink them at all. He has teeth & everything... should I try giving him solids?
I hope he makes it. He looks like a sweet baby boy.
