OMG he is cute, I hope that you can get some weight on him, he looks dangerously tiny for his age.

True, but at this point of his age, bloodwork is an option now that he is older.
I know I keep saying this but I guess I just need to know that you do understand, there is really something wrong with his health, probably deadly.
It might be his heart, it could be his digestive system, it may be what Paris had that was so hard to diagnose, by the time she was diagnosed it was too late, lost her at 5 months, weighing 1 lb 4 oz., she had hyperparathyroidism.

It is so hard because im doing everything i can and it just doesn't seem to be working, he isnt lethargic or in stress or pain though
His a happy little kitten
I will take him back to the vet today and see if they will run some tests to find out exactly what is the problem

Of course it is, nothing more discouraging then giving it your best and getting nowhere.
I have fostered countless kittens, enormous numbers, but Paris I keep relating to because, despite all of my knowledge, efforts and resources, I just could not save her.
Not a good feeling, we get so darn attached, in fact when Paris died, my husband, who was so attached to her, just didn't want any more kittens for a while, although we lost more that summer too, from panleukopenia (kitten parvo) so Paris put us over the edge.
I keep saying about him having something seriously wrong because I am trying to prepare you basically.
I don't know how long he will be alive, unless by some miracle something is found in the blood work and can be fixed.
But if so, it needs to be now if there's any chance at all. It very well may be too late as it is. He started out tiny too, Paris was the runt but at least had some body weight to her, just waaay behind, which got worse and worse.

Okay, I'm glad to know that you are well aware, it will be a heartbreaker for sure. But at least you are able to give him love and care, for now.
Make his little life have meaning.

You are so wonderful for trying to save this little sweet kitty. I hope you can help turn him around, there are so many stories about kitties that no one gave a chance like this one. http://www.thecatsite.com/t/304557/please-help hang in there
You should mix the kitten food with formula to make a mush, and offer him this first at every meal. When he's had his fill, then offer the bottle. Do you also feed him through the night? He needs it. Did the vet take blood to run a panel?
He's an adorable little kitten! [emoji]128149[/emoji]

I would give him as much food as he'll eat. Maybe even leaving out kitten dry food all the time?
What did the vet say? How is the little one doing ?

I'm so sorry. You did everything you could.
I'm so sorry! You were very good to this baby and you tried so hard!
Aw. I've been following this thread and so hoped the little guy would make it. You really made a heroic effort. I'm so very sorry.
I'm so very sorry too. I was following the thread and was hoping so much he would be okay. How sad.
So sad he didn't make it. RIP little one!
