She opened her eye on her own, it looked bright and clear. I cleaned away the extra gunk with a warm piece of cotton. These kittens are quite young so I wonder if this one's eyes were fully open when the mom died. I'm going to keep a close eye on her
Over the past 4 days I've rescued 4 kittens whose mom passed away. The mom was feral so the kittens were outside in the bushes before I got them. One of them has his one eye shut and there's goo coming out of it. I carefully cleaned the soft goo with a warm q tip, but didn't try to open the eye...
I just weighed her and she's currently at exactly 800 grams (28.2 oz). She's also much less bony than when I got her. I used this website to roughly determine her age based on her milestones since her weight wouldn't be an accurate indicator.
How Old Is That Kitten? Kitten Guide: Eight Weeks
Thank you!! I haven't been able to get her to the vet yet since my local vet charges around $50 for non-emergency visits and I'm 16 so I can't afford it myself. Sadly there's no animal shelter here that I can take her to so someone else can take care of her, and the vet has specifically told us...
A few days ago, my brother rescued this orphaned kitten so now I'm caring for her. She seems about 7-8 weeks old and I'm feeding her a mixture of wet food and moistened kibble. She's quite thin though. Is there anything I can add to her food to help her gain weight?
My girl cat (Marmite) is still quite upset about the new baby (Tuna). Last night marmite growled and hissed at the baby and at her brother (Toast). She's usually very gentle. This morning she woke up, saw Tuna and ran out of my room. I've had Marmite and toast since they were 2 weeks old so I'm...
My little brother rescued a kitten today and I'm caring for it. It's 7-8 weeks old and eating and drinking on its own. I have 2 older kittens who are 5 months old. The boy doesn't seem bothered by the kitten, but the girl hissed whenever I showed it to her. She didn't try to attack or anything...
Thank you so much ! They're both still a bit "out of it" from the anaesthesia. The boy is already walking around a bit more while the girl is still tired. Luckily I'm homeschooled so I can keep an eye on them all day. I also have a surgery shirt prepared for the girl in case she tries to mess...
Marmite and Toast are 4.5 months old and both got sterilised today. Toast is a male and Marmite a female. I've had them since they were barely 2 weeks old. I didn't receive any information or extra pain meds from the vet. Any tips on how to help them recover ?
i have two eight week old kittens and they usually live indoors, but one of them k keeps bolting towards our dog's fence whenever she's outside. the dog is aggressive towards cats, that's why he has his own fenced in yard (we are training him to stop). is there anything i can do to stop the...
Thank you for your kind words. And yes, my vet is absolutely amazing, she is always friendly and she didn't even charge a consultation fee for this kitten. I know that I tried everything to save her, and at least she passed comfortably.
My 8 day old kitten was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia today. The vet gave her intravenous antibiotics and subcutaneous fluids, and she has to go back tomorrow morning for a checkup and more medicine. How often should I feed her while she's at home ? The vet gave me a special syringe and...
