2 week old kitten, adapting?

Hello,

This is my first post. I found an abandoned kitten on Friday. I had herd the kitten since Thursday, but did not want to touch him in case the mom came back. I believe his mother, a feral cat, was poisoned along with the other kittens. However this little kitten was left behind some time before. He is between 2 and 3 weeks, I suppose. His eyes are open and he is starting to want to walk, but isn't very stable.

When I first found him he had an eye infection, but I treated that with some drops. He now is eye infection free. I had to give him a bath because he was filthy. He had almost 20 fleas that I removed with a fle comb. Poor little guy.
Te first day I was unable to purchase a kitten formula, so I made one from the recipes online. He did not like it much, but ate a little.

Today I was finally able to get the kitten formula and he is eating a bit better than before. He doesn't love the formula, but at least he eats more.

He seems a good weight, he is alert, I think he is doing ok. The main issue being that he got diarrhea after switching him to the formula today. I do not think that it is the formula itself, but it might be that I switched him to it so fast. He is quite young, but he really barely ate the formula I had made before.

In general I think he is doing well, but what concerns me is the diarrhea. Especially since I cannot take him to a vet until Monday. It's Saturday, midnight right now and I want some advice as to what I can do in the meantime.

I suppose it should change to firm stool by Monday as the kitty gets used to it, right?

Hs little anus is a it red too. I was wondering if I can put some ointment on it?

I am not really a cat person, but I love animals in general. I just don't have as much experience with cats as I do with dogs.

He is the cutesy little guy ever! I will post a pic tomorrow when I am able.

He sleeps ok and is sort of calm but very alert

I have been having to obviously stimulate him to poop and pee. Maybe the napkins I use are too harsh?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Sorry about all the typos, I really need to sleep now.

He is eating more now he has not pooped, but I think it's because he is adapting to the formula still.

I read the page thanks for the link btw. I took the advice of making him a rice sock to keep him warm, the lil guy loves it.

I made the hole on the bottles nipple bigger which made it easier for him to eat. He's just relaxing right now next to the sock.

Will keep you posted (:

The kitten has been on the new diet for three days now. It is the kitten formula, he likes it fairly well.

He has not pooped since yesterday morning, and his belly seems swollen. He does not seem to be in pain or anything. He loves to sleep a lot and wakes up every 4 hours to eat and tires to walk some. He has been peeing normal though.

I called the vet and he said not to worry too much since the kitty is on a new formula and it really hasn't been that long. He said as long as he looks good and acts alert he should be fine.

I was wondering if anyone has had a similar situation? Any advice?

I have been feeding him every four hours, I set an alarm at night to make sure it's every 4 hours.

Thanks!
