Need Kitten Help-4 Weeks

[candy]

Hi all,
I need some help with a pretty sad situation. I can explain later (I'm at work right now) but I needadvice on how to raise a 3-4 weeks old kitten. The kitten can eat solid food but do I need to supplement with milk as well? What should I use? Thanks!

Candy, I'm moving your post to the health forum. The health experts are more likely to see it there.

Thank you.

If anyone can help out in the next 1/2 hour or so, it would be really appreciated. I am leaving on my lunch hour to go and get some KMR and kitten food...is there anything else I should get her?? She seems pretty content considering she is completely wild. She's sleeping in the house I made her and has eaten some mushy adult chow. She's such an angel.

I don't know if I caught you before you left or not, but I wanted to give you a link to another thread that discussed this. The second post, by Hell603 (Helen) gives some great information about hand-rearing little kittens. Hope this helps!

Help!

Hi all,
I completely forgot to update this thread. Here's the story...
Where I was working at the time, we had ferals that would keep the mice in check. They were very wild cats and wouldn't usually come near humans. However, they did have shelter in the quionset and were fed by me and someone else. The day before I posted that post, someone's dog had gotten loose and killed all of the kittens but one. The little one left was the one I posted about. I am very, very happy to say that she is doing great! A friend of mine took her home and she is a happy (and spayed) farm cat.

Thanks you so much for your help.
