Hello all,
i'm a new kitten mom, i believe my hubby saved her from the teens that had found her "in the woods" and were trying to get rid of her... she seems to be about 4 to 5 weeks old but the chick he got her from said she was a couple months old.. they gave him a medicine syringe and wet clumpy shrimp and fish food!
i took her to the petco and a lovely lady gave us a few pointers for our newest addition, ive been feeding her KMR every 3-5 hours and she seems to be drinking about 1 tablespoon each feeding..more the longer we sleep. my hand is extremely cut from her clawing at it when i feed her which i get she does bc that's how she fed off mom but it really hurts after she eats now. i've tried adding her milk to the cat food but she won't take so i've only been bottle feeding her.
we didn't purchase her a litter box bc we thought we still had to stimulate her but she doesn't go when we try, apparently she only potties on me after she drinks her milk. Now i haven't seen her poop in the last 2 days that i've had her and her previous owner doesn't seem to be much help either but i think i've seen patches of blood on her blanket..not sure if that's from her trying to poop or her urine..but when she pees on me there's no blood.
she's constantly CONSTANTLY meowing unless she's asleep or someone is holding her but even when someone has her she goes claw crazy and starts going every where and when we set her down to roam around since she doesn't want to be asleep or eating she's meowing everywhere she goes so i'm kinda lost what exactly am i doing wrong? i really want to get this right bc she deserves to live ive gotten attached to her these past two days..
