so my dad found this little black kitten on the side of the road halloween morning. she is 6 weeks old and is in terrible condition. it appears that she had been thrown out of a moving vehicle and happen to land on her face. she had tissue hanging from her jaw, the left half of her nose was scraped off, her left eye had been scraped as well, there was puss oozing from her nose and her eyes, she is very skinny, and she has some missing hair on her tail.
my fiance and i decided that we wanted to keep her and nurse her get back to good health. so we took her to the vet, they told us that she had a fever, ear mites, respiratory infection, and possible ring worms. so they gave us a gel to put in her eyes 3 times a day, some powder to sprinkle over her food twice a day and an antibiotic to give her twice a day.
my problem is, she doesnt eat. we have to feed her with a syringe. she doesnt know what anything is.. like food, or water or anything really but i wanted to see if anyone could suggest anything? she cant smell yet because her nose is still pretty clogged and i did actually put some wet food in her mouth but she didnt seem eager to have more.. just any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated
she is such a sweet cat and i know that she will heal just perfect.
