I have a 1 wk old orphan kitten that was brought home by a neighbors tomcat. He is small and lonely. I have him currently in with my 3 Chihuahua puppies but they are 3 wks old and a little too rough for him. My Chihuahua nurses him at night so I can sleep and I take over during the day but he...

We recently found a stray kitten, about 4-5 months old. She has been very shy and kept to one room of the house for now. She has gotten very lethargic and refuses to eat or drink. I have been syringing Pedialite all night and day today and think she is feeling a little bit better. My kids and I...

This just makes me sick...I called the rescue I work with to see if we could just go get the mom and kittens and maybe return the mom to him once she is fixed. http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/pet/2126156352.html

Here are my bottle babies, Autumn, Gabby, and Finn. One of the other little orange tabbies (Jake) is not doing so good and has gone to the vets and one of the little torti girls didn't make it My other foster cat, 4 month old Rosie. She will be spayed next week and put up for adoption.

I have a formula question. A few weeks ago the kittens started having digestive issues, really runny stools. The rescue had me switch to Hartz powdered formula and they are now back on track. I have noticed that the Hartz is very fine powder where the KMR is a bit courser. Does that make any...

I know these kittens are to young for solids but can I start mixing some babyfood chicken into their formula? They are impossible to satisfy and hungry as can be. Is there health reasons why they shouldn't start this early?

I have a litter of bottle babies that have fever coats. They are very restless and seem to me to be a bit off. I wondered if any one has experience with fever coats (assuming they have already had a fever at 11 days old) and FIV/FLV?

I have 2 foster kittens who are just about 7 wks old now. I got them when they were 2 weeks old. One of them has awful dry skin and has matted hair only around his neck. They were little clumps of hair that I just pulled off. He didn't complain so I am thinking they were no longer attached. I...

My neighbor has these kittens and they have the strangest coats. What color would you call them? Will they loose the fuzzy white hairs?

One of my tenants moved out and left a cat (they were not allowed animals, I didn't even know they had one). They were evicted and left no forwarding address. She appears to be an adult, about 1-2 yrs according to the vet. She is rather large in spite of her short stature She weighs 10 lbs. The...

I switched to a lower quality food for money reasons and now Keller's fur is a mess. She loves to be brushed which is good but that isn't working. Her hair almost looks dirty and clumps together, even after a good brushing. Could this all be diet related? She is normally fairly low maintenance...

Keller has been treated for UTI and doesn't seem to have any other problem other than being deaf and chewing on cords...those are problems I know . She has started peeing in the sink and the tub. I am thankful that it is an easy to clean place but wonder what the issue could be? She is upset by...

Charlie is the cutest kitten, he is 14 wks old and I bottle fed him from about 3 days on. He is also a fearless nightmare of a kitten. He climbs shower curtains, my pretty living room curtains, shreds toilet paper, gets into cupboards and pulls things out, jumps and pulls things off the walls...

Charlie is about 12 weeks old now and boy is he a turkey. It is more than kitten antics and I wondered if all kittens without mothers are so crazy?

I started the kittens on this a few days ago because they are 4 wks old and it is much cheaper. The one kitten has runny stools everywhere. She insists on getting into corners and exploding but does pee in the litter tray Is it to rich? Should I go back to the regular or is goats milk easier on...

I have been mixing in a little baby food chicken with the goats milk/KMR to satisfy my little bottle babies. They will be 4 weeks old tomorrow. Can I mix in any other baby food (I have a lot of turkey and beef left from my daughter)?

One kitten is really sucking on the others belly. I have seperated them but she just cries and cries. When I tried putting them back together she immediately rolled her sister over and started rooting around. Is there something I can do to allow them to stay together, they really need each...

The little grey kitten I am bottle feeding is having some issues when she poops. Her little rectum looks like it is turning inside out when she strains and she has some blood. I don't think the blood is in the stool as much as coming from her poor little bottom. When she is done going potty her...

Two of the foster kittens were returned to me because they are sick. They are the two I had started to supplement and the rescue doesn't have the room for sick babies right now so I have them back to bottle feed. One is doing great and eating like a champ and the other I have to force to eat...

One of the kittens has a bit of a gooey eye. She has also not been gaining as much weight as the others and I would like to start bottle feeding her. They will be 3 weeks old on Sunday and I feed my daughter goats milk and wondered if I could feed the kitten the same? If so should I add anything...
