I think a kitten I found on my porch has some thing wrong with her

Is it possible that she has having seizures? About how old is she?
Welcome to the forum.

Poor thing. Maybe you can make a kitten food/milk slurry to help get more nutrients in her.
She could have some neurological damage from something. I wonder what the vet is going to say.

Bless you for taking her in and caring for her!

I hope she is ok and sending good vibes your way

What, besides the cat milk, are you offering her in the way of food? Try a little chicken or turkey (meat only - no onions or vegetables added) baby food gently warmed on a saucer or paper dessert plate. My guess is that although she is young, she is probably able to eat and potty on her own. Try offering the baby food and then give her about 5 to 10 minutes ... then place her in the litter box. The act of filling the stomach will prompt the digestive tract to move things along so she may go of her own accord. If not, you can try wetting a washcloth with warm, not hot water and gently rub her bottom to stimulate her to potty. At approximately 5 weeks, she shouldn't still need to be stimulated, but it may give her the general idea of what you want her to do when in the litter box if she doesn't get it already.

It is good that she is going to see the vet tomorrow. I take it your family is planning on keeping this kitten? The vet will be better equipped to tell you what's what with this little one. Ask about deworming, when kitten shots should begin, what shots are recommended for your particular circumstances and when to consider spaying or neutering.

For now, try offering the baby food to see if she will eat on her own. If so, then get the best quality kitten food you can afford in both canned and dry varieties. You can mix a little of the cat milk in with the dry until she gets the hang of it but don't keep giving her the cat milk. Goat's milk is a much better alternative and it is readily available in most grocery stores.

I sincerely hope the vet has some good news and this little baby wil be alright with a little tender care and gentle loving attention. But, in the event there is a larger problem, I also sincerely hope your heart as well as your pocketbook will be able to do what needs to be done.

Please let us know how it goes?

I see we were posting within moments of each other ... *smile*

OK, so she isn't eating on her own. Do you have a bottle to feed her with? Or an eyedropper or syringe without the needle?? Any of those things will do but you have to get some food into her other than cat milk. The Nutrical is good. You can mix that up with a little warmed goat's milk to make a slurry and force-feed that.

She is a cutie! I can't tell from the video - is she laying on her back when she is drinking from the bottle? If so, switch it so she lays on her tummy like she would do if she was nursing from her mother.

I hope the vet visit turns out well.

I use photobucket all of the time to post here. It should work. I can't wait to see her. I agree with the baby food. They seem to like it.

You have received some great advice, but I just wanted to reiterate this point, do not feed her lying on her back, she can quickly choke and/or drown from milk going into her lungs, you must always bottle feed her while she is on her tummy.

Please let us know how she is doing

Oh look at that precious little one. She is so very lucky to have you guys looking out for her. Her coloring is so beautiful.

Sending many positive vibes that she continues to get better and better

What a cutie! I love her coloring.

Awww What a little sweetheart

Oh Rags is a sweetie. She is adorable.

I wonder if she ate something toxic and as she gets rid of it she feels better.

She is beautiful, and I am glad that ya'll are safe and that the earthquake was not too too bad

Please keep us updated on how she is doing.

Are the "seizures" still happening as often, or have they decreased?
That behavior can happen with dehydration.
What things trigger the episodes?
How often is she urinating?

Happy to hear she made it

I was hoping she would be getting better. I had a cat, Downy, who passed in Feb 07, who had seizure disorder and a heart murmur. He was the light of my husband's life. Running ceiling fans and video games on the tv would set his seizures off, and so would company that we weren't prepared for (we would put him in the basement when we knew ahead of time). He passed when someone he didn't know tried to pick him up when we weren't watching.
I saw your YouTube video, any chance of getting a video when she's having one of her spells? Not just for us, but to help the vet? Whenever we took Downy to the vet, I'd always wished we had a video.

I read this one holding my breath, I'm so glad she made it a year and am looking forward to recent pics.

oh, gosh, i didn't even look at the dates of this thread!
