Thank you SallyAnn! I'm sorry one of your little ones didn't make it, but so glad the others are thriving and wonderful to learn baby formula is an option for kittens too. They are a handful aren't they? I was worn out looking after one, I can't imagine 4!!! Reedus is acting like a big boy now...

Thank you for that tip! Will definitely get some as less worry than with the metamucil. Have been giving him additional water by syringe after each feeding for fear he won't drink enough on his own while taking the met. Have seen a definite improvement though, his poop is still a little too...

Just a quick update ...Reedus is still loving his baa-baa (bottle in the sock), very rarely do I not find him curled around it or gnawing on the knot. The rice sock was perfect for keeping him warm at the vet's office Sat. without the heating pad as the wait was nearly 4 hours. He slept cozily...

Hi msserena, thank you and congrats on your new kitten! While I hate that your little one is struggling with the runny poopies too, I do appreciate you sharing so I know my vet is pretty much doing the usual for mine as well. Another negative parasite test today. He said to continue the Hill's...

Thank you, your having put it in such a manner goes a long way in easing my guilt, especially coming from someone experienced in such things. Definitely a lovely message to brighten the start of my day and very much needed! So often my thoughts have gone to that, the mom searching for her little...

Found a farm about 45 minutes away that sells fresh goat's milk! They said they won't be available tomorrow, but can come by Sun if I don't find any at the farmer's market in the morning. Meanwhile kitten's poop seems to be firming up some this afternoon, but still not as it should be. Also...

I will google my area for some goat's milk and if I can't find any, we have a farmer's market in town every Sat. morning. I'm sure someone there might have some or at least know where I can get it. The vet estimated his age at the 2-3 weeks, but hubs and I were thinking the same as you that...

I've been caring for a 2-3 week old orphaned kitten since Friday and he's had diarrhea the entire time. We are using a vet we aren't familiar with as the vet we used for our little doggie (long gone) has retired. I've never raised a kitten before, much less an orphaned one so I don't know if I'm...

I use a rice sock for our aches and pains, didn't even think kitty might like one too. Softer for him to curl up to. Excellent idea about the nipple as well! I'm happy to report that he took very well to the hot water bottle in the sock. I held it upright for him for a bit and he latched right...

What a great idea! Thank you very much for your help, it is so appreciated.

Hello, new here and first time kitty mom. I'm caring for kitten I found on our front porch Friday afternoon. The vet estimated his age to be 2-3 weeks, though underweight. Things are going fairly well, but after being fed and cleaned, he clutches onto my hand with his claws when I put him into...
