A new nickname for your friend Wineska:

"the Egyptian Princess!"

Some think her (the Egyptian princess who rescued Moses) was a girl name Bisiah or Bisyah.

I'm sure Moses will have some rough times due to all the water he likely swallowed or breathed in. That's how I got pneumonia a couple of years ago, and I thought it was going to kill me.

Tahnk you all, I will tell Wineska how much you all love her for what she did
I will keep a close eye on Moses, I'm sure he drank water , he seems fine but I can hear his breathing , if he doesn't improve that I will trake him to the vet tomorrow.

Kitten update:

The kitten is very sick, little Moses (MoisÃ[emoji]169[/emoji]s in spanish) is coughing and sneezing and his eyes look infected, I"m taking him to the vet today, he doesn't look good I don't think he is going to make it, he is so tiny and weak, I"m praying for him. I will keep you all updated.

UPDATE! Little Moses was at the vets today and he has bronchitis, fever and an eye infection. So, he prescribed an antibiotic and an eye cream. he also inyected him with an antibiotic and something for his congestion.

The vet told me he thinks Moses has a good chance of recovering because he is so active, he walked and ran on the examination table and he also loved the nutrical they gave him.

the vet wants me to stop giving him formula and give him canned food, but he is so tiny!! I think he should have more formula, he doesn't even know how to eat. What do you guys think? Shoul I start feeding him ?
he is like a month old I think.

I say feed what he eats - if he eats kitten food, feed that... If he eats formula... that... I would feed whatever is more nutritiously/calorie packed though

Aww, poor little guy.
My vet also advised me canned food when Kuan Yin was around four weeks old. It was perfectly fine. I think it is for this little guy too as long as you can get him to take to it. Give it a try.

Thank you both, I will give him some canned food to see if he likes it, He is just so tiny.

It isn't easy for me to take care of him right now, Lucas is still sick and I can't cause him any stress, so I have the kitten hidden far away from Lucas. I just need to save this baby so he can go to his new home a healthy happy baby

Thank you for this update! My heart was breaking for this little guy!

So far as feeding, I've never had such a young kitten so I will defer to what others are saying about giving him some canned.

But couldn't he also still have formula to supplement? Or would this stop him from eating the wet food?

It seems to me that little Moses needs all the nutrition and calories that can get into him.

I hope he makes it, poor thing.
Maybe you could start offering him kitten food (canned) mixed with formula at first, then slowly leave the formula out.

I went and gave him some canned food mixed with formula and he ate a little, then he started screaming, he screams a lot, that scares me because I think he is in pain or something. But he tends to calm down when I hold him and give him a soft massage, he loves that, it calms him. You see? I'm already in love with this baby.

I think he prefers the formula in a bottle for now, but I will keep introducing food to see if he starts liking it.

What a story and that little girl is a hero and very sweet and caring. Bless you for taking in this beautiful little angel, Moses. He is so adorable and I pray he gets well very soon.
