I found a kitten (roughly 6 weeks) last friday in the middle of the street crying its heart out. Picked it up took it home and warmed it up. Went to the vet saturday and was wormed, given saline and an antibiotic for an upper infection. He also had us start syringe feeding canned food and supplementing with kitten formula. She was just over 1lbs but you can feel every rib and he noted she was malnurished and dehydrated.
We have not regressed but I feel we have not moved forward. Kitty has no desire to eat and I am sure she really does not appreciate the syringe feeding. I have also started a hydrating solution. I just do not know what to do. She is very active, very friendly... Loves to purr.. She has had 2 bowel movements since monday.
A couple questions- How often should I be feeding her and how much. I am a little lost.. and I am just surprised that she really has no desire to eat anything!
