A neighbor found 6 abandoned kittens by the side of the road (we think they were dumped as it was a busy road). I've had them since Saturday. Today I took them to the vet because one was not peeing. It turns out she was so constipated she couldn't. She was able to get him to pee and poo, but now she's not eating. I got her to poo really well (it was soft but brown). She peed some, but has not really eaten well in about 8 hours. I tried some sugar water (didn't have any Karo syrup and the kids are in bed so I can't go out), and besides force feeding her with a syringe, I'm not getting more than 2ml into her. She just lets the milk drip out of her mouth and doesn't even swallow most of it.
Is it a hopeless cause? I've read about fading kitten syndrome, but I'm just so worried and wish I could do something, anything, for this little one.
Right now I have her sleeping on my chest. She's just not doing well.
