Oh boy. He looks like he might be bleeding out. I think the best you can do is wrap him up and place him back with mom. Try to supplement if you can.

You're doing great.

Is the kitten still bleeding from the intestines? If so, let's try to clamp the bleeding and stop it.

That's great! I just couldn't understand why there was so much blood on his legs.

Excellent! Give him 1-2 mL's very slowly. Very, very slowly. See if he's bleeding from intestines. Let's try to stop the bleeding by tying it off with dental floss if necessary.

He does look bloody. Please see if there's an opening where blood is coming from and tie it off if necessary. He needs 1 mL each hour. Hang in there with him. Put him next to the hot water bottle also in your lap. He needs an additional heat source.

Meg and the other kittens will be fine and you're going to do the best you can for this little guy. Even if he doesn't make it you've made him comfortable.

i tried to do as much research before i responded. well the best advice i have is to moisten the intestines it will help the pain . It is possible for him to survive this just focus on keeping him alive and breathing. cover him up so nothing will infect it of get on it. your doing great.

I think I'd leave Meg at home if she doesn't get upset when you take the kitten away. Your kids, Meg, and the other kitten are just too much to cope with. Hang in there.

It's okay. Meg and kitten(s) will be fine at home. This little guy needs help, bless his heart. Vet will probably suggest humanely putting him to sleep. Keep up the KMR. Put a teeny drop of honey in the milk. I'm very proud of you! Thank you for getting him from under the bed.

keep feeding and keep him wrapped up as soon as you can get him to the vet . the sooner the better.
