Hi all
A few days ago I found an orhaned kitten (3-4 weeks old, male).
I left it at the vet for 2 nights, but then decided to keep it myself.
This is the first time Ive ever owned a cat, let alone a 3 week old kitten.
The vet showed me how to make it go to the toilet and gave me kitten formula.
She also showed me how to put eye drops in as it has a slight eye infection.
Im fine with the feeding side of things, but i have other questions.
- I read that yellowish urine means dehydration. His urine is a bit yellow, what do i do? Its drinking a fair bit. I feed it through a bottle and I only stop when it starts pushing it away.
- It hardly urinates when i try. When the vet did it it did alot, but when i do it it only trickles out.
Obviously this is my fault, and Im worried it will get sick if it doesnt all come out.
- Should i make it urinate before or just after feeding?
- Do i have to clean it at all?
- Any other advice you can offer?
Im feeling pretty nervous right now as I dont want to do anything wrong.
