Hello everyone, I brought home a stray kitten 6 days ago. Her name is Jojo. I don’t know much about cats but I’m guessing perhaps she may be 10 weeks old. She appeared healthy but when I brought her home the next day I noticed her stool was hard, her butthole looked a little swollen. I figured she must be constipated. She ate just fine and drank a lot the first 2 days. Then her appetite decreased, she barely ate but continued to drink. She came down with a very bad fever 2 nights ago, today is her 3rd night. We don’t have any vets here unfortunately.
I tried to reduce the fever by spraying/coating her fur with water. Today I began giving her Amoxicillin (mix the powder with little water), gave her very small dosage through the syringe. I also made her an electrolyte drink today. We’ve been forcing her to drink for 2 days now through syringe otherwise she would’ve died from dehydration. She is extremely weak, she can barely keep her eyes open. She is in a lot of pain. She can’t meow, lethargic, she has teary eyes, she makes weird noises at times and it sounds like she is in pain.
I really don’t know what to do, I’m extremely heat broken and watching her die before my eyes. She is also very traumatized, she is afraid of us now because we’ve been forcing her to drink. Help!!!
