I am taking my 8 month old ginger kitty to vet in the am but he is very miserable tonight with testicular swelling. He won't eat. I am force feeding him broth and baby food and water but am so worried about his discomfort. Any suggestions for keeping him comfortable until ?

Testicular swelling

I know in humans this is often caused by a blockage and ice is the only thing that helps with the pain. I have to ask is there a reason why your kitty isn't neutered.

He is a rescue kitty and have had him a few weeks. He is scheduled to be neutered in 2 weeks. I have 14 rescue kitties and only 4 left to be spayed/neutered. I wish I had the funds to do this as soon as I get them, but am doing the best I can and giving them a good healthy, loving life. Thank you for your advice. I will try it. He is very miserable.
I hope your kitty feels better very soon. I understand about lack of funds. I didn't mean to sound judgemental but occasionally we get people with warped ideas about the kitties should keep their 'manhood'.

I did not take it as such. I have enough criticism being a crazy cat lady. Getting kitties spayed/neutered is one of the first things I try to do after getting them healthy. Usually I get a kitten or an adolescent cat that is ill or hurt and they are abandoned to fend for themselves or I come home from work and find someone has "given" me a cat. Of course that means a vet bill and lots of nursing and TLC. But if I can make a difference in that kitty's life, then it's all worth it. But, I suffer when they do. Hate to see one in pain or sick.

I am so glad he will be okay. I hadn't thought of a virus. At one time that would happen with men when they caught mumps, with the advent of vaccines it isn't something you hear about at least in the U.S.
So glad to hear that the vet was able to help. Bless you for helping these rescue kitties.
