    rescue kitten eye problem?

    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

    rescue kitten eye problem?

    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...

    helping kitten gain weight

    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

    helping kitten gain weight

    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...

    helping kitten gain weight

    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?

    introducing cats to kitten?

    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...

    introducing cats to kitten?

    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...

    spay and neuter care

    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...

    spay and neuter care

    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 ?

    week old runt kitten !

    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.

    week old runt kitten !

    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...

    week old runt kitten !

    No, she's just gaining weight slowly. Some days she gains more than others, today she only gained 6 grams. I just don't know if it's normal for runts to gain weight slower than what's recommended, or if I should be concerned

    week old runt kitten !

    I also want to add that the kitten is the runt of the litter, both her siblings were 30/40 grams heavier than her when i weighed them on day 4. Also, I've successfully raised 2 other abandoned kittens since they were 2 weeks old so I've gotten the hang of feeding and stimulating them by now...

    week old runt kitten !

    My cat gave birth to 3 kittens on the 21st of February but she immediately rejected one of them and completely ignored it when I showed it to her. After multiple failed attempts to reunite them, I took the baby and I've been keeping her in a brooder (like Kitten Lady does), feeding her kitten...
