@sarthur2  Yay! I hope it continues as well! And after reading a ton of reviews of the cat only vet, I think that's who I'm going to make an appointment with. :)

@sarthur2  He hasn't had any diarrhea since his 11am feeding. He hasn't pooped at all since then. He's peeing really well after each meal, and eating like a little piggy - he really loves the bottle now - I'm glad because it took a few days for him to get the hang of it! I have made a list of 3...

@sarthur2  I'm glad that you told me this. Everything I have read online mentions that people have gotten meds for tiny kittens, but when the vet told me twice that he was too little, I started to believe him. I have been considering changing his vet (I have been taking him to a VCA vet), but...

@sarthur2  If he has it again, I will be calling the vet back to bring him back in. The vet said that if he does have an infection he is too young to treat. In your opinion, is 3 weeks too young to treat for parasites/infections?

@sarthur2  It is a coppery color. The last time he had it was this morning at 11am. He didn't have it for his last 2 feedings - he only peed. Hoping that's a sign that the diarrhea might be going away?

Update on Gus Gus! We took him to his vet appointment this afternoon and he has gained roughly 1 ounce in 3 days of us having him. Today he weighed in at 9.17 ounces. The vet says he thinks he is making good progress. He was walking all over the exam table and he said he looked alert and in...

Next feeding will be the powdered KMR and pedialyte. It seems that the general consensus is that the pre-mixed just doesn't work best and causes diarrhea, so we are going to stick with the powdered formula from here on out. We will be heading to the vet in about an hour and a half. Fingers...

I really can't thank you enough! I don't know what I would've done had I not found this site. Next feeding will be powdered KMR and pedialyte. And it's good to know that you can't overdo pedialyte. That was my main concern as he is so teeny tiny. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! :)

How much Pedialyte do you suggest I add to each feeding?

Awesome! I'm definitely going to try that for his next feeding. Hopefully that helps with it. He's such a sweet little peanut - I just want the diarrhea to stop so he feels better. :)

We are using the PetAg KMR milk. Is that a good one?

That's a great idea, Foxden! I will start doing that with the box on the scale! And I am going to pick up some unflavored Pedialyte this morning as well. How much do you suggest I add to each feeding? We have been using the liquid KMR with him thus far. Do you think the powdered is better? We...

Hi TalkingPeanut and Sarthur2! He was found abandoned by a trash can and the woman who found him said she waited, hoping his mommy would come back, but unfortunately she didn't. I just got a scale yesterday and started weighing him. It's a small kitchen scale and he kept trying to walk off of...

Thank you so much for this info! I have been worried sick and I am so glad that I came across this site. In the morning I will head to the store to grab the items you said and incorporate that into his feedings. Fingers crossed that it works. I'll keep you updated as to how he is doing tomorrow...

Hoping that someone could PLEASE be of assistance. Two days ago (Thursday late afternoon, March 16th) I rescued a kitten. His name is Gus Gus (like the silly mouse from Cinderella). Immediately after rescuing him, I took him to the vet. Vet thinks he is between 2-3 weeks old. He weighed in at...
