I am sorry that this one person does "not understand".  Perhaps a kinder tone would be in keeping so one does not feel intimidated asking for help? Microchips would work (they are $49 here, not $25, a moot point). However, if she were to get lost, i am not confident that finder would bring her...

well after all that hysteria, i tried the collar one morning and she left it on.  so much for that!!! thanks for all your help!

where would i find a wristband?

i tried that paper collar.  i used regular paper and she did keep it on for a bit.  i will find a bit stronger paper and work my way up from there.  and get her a micro chip. thanks for everyone's help!

Thanks EB24.  That paper collar idea is worth trying.  Also it was mentioned that i could get a tattoo.  where would i do this?  at a regular tattoo parlour?  with her phone no. on it?  I will try all these suggestions.  Thanks much!

yes, i used a break away collar and she still got stuck.  and I did make sure it was two fingers loose and she still managed to get her mouth in it.  i guess your option of a micro chip (are these visible?)  or a tattoo.  I didn't think of a tattoo.  thanks!

Help us, Help us!!!   Our little rescue kitten, Bambolina, (Bambi) is growing despite being on death's door a few times, given up by the vet,  and is now a thriving three and a half month old wild child.  I am desperately trying to get a collar on her but she gets her mouth in it, so it's stuck...

From what I read, a bloated tummy in a very small young kitten is normal.  Our little rescue had a very fat little tummy.  As you may have read, she had three enemas, two with water, one with lactalose.  She then got diarrhea which was very hard to manage.  We tried everything but PetSmart...

Since I last posted, our little Bambolina has been doing extremely well.  She started to grow, her diarrhea lessened and she began acting like a curious little kitten.  She rejected her A/D critical care food and went for our other cat's regular food, gobbling it up.  within a week and a half...

There is so much helpful info here, wow.  I'm on another thread because of our rescue's diarrhea but she also has a bloated tummy.  She is five to six weeks old and under 15 oz. - 435 grams - up from 330 three weeks ago.  She is curious, happy, fun loving, a little ball of fur with long hairy...

Thanks, Burkey!  I will call tomorrow.  She is now 430 grams, about 15 oz., still playful and curious.  She climbs up the side of the couch or our pant legs; lots of energy.  We live in Ontario, Canada but I'm certainly willing to pay a couple of hundred.  We've already spent that much on our...

5 cc's of SEB for a ten pound cat which would mean 1/2 cc or .5 for a one pound kitten.  Right? I'll be trying it in the morning.  That sounds about right as far as checking other info as well.

Thank you for all your responses.  We are really not in a position to spend hundreds of dollars for these tests and i am assuming this would be the cost involved.  The vet was not really very encouraging in doing this; however, I will phone them and inquire further.  She is very lively and...

The rice water didn't help.  The diarrhea is very bad.  I am getting so discouraged.  I'm still using pumpkin and wheat bran mixed in critical care kitten food and giving her 3 cc's of water every few hours.  I'll go out and buy some slippery elm bark tomorrow and the baby rice cereal.  

I guess i was looking at the wrong spot, but this is perfect for our problem.  thank you so much for all these ideas.  our little bambolina is about 14 oz, 410 grams, and is about four weeks old.  She is our rescue kitten and it has been an up and down ride these past three weeks.  She has been...
