My vet asked me to take in a kitten that had been abandoned
, along with his littermates, in a parking lot. My new boy was the only one not euthanized.
The vet estimates that he is about 4 - 5 weeks old, but he only weighs 9.5oz! The vet fed him Iams canned food mixed with water, and told me to continue this regimen.
Little Guy (he hasn't told me his name yet), eats about 1 teaspoon Iams mixed with an equal amount of water every 3 - 4 hours. He seems to have a good appetite and lets me know when he is hungry.
Is this enough food for him? He's alert and gets around well, just a little wobbly. But I can feel every rib and vertebrae since he's so skinny. He also won't drink water.
Thanks
