Today I brought home a tiny kitten that my brothers friend found in his neighbors back yard. I have no idea how old she is but she is very tiny and underweight. I weighed her on my baby scale and she is only 7 oz. Her eyes are still very blue and it only looks like she has 4 teeth. I stopped by the pet clinic on my way home and I was just told to give her kitten formula and nutri cal (vitamin supplement). I didnt ask if I should bottle feed her but she does lick milk from the bowl but Im not sure if its enough or not. They vet gave me terramycin to put in her eyes every morning due to some discharge that she had. I do not think that this clinic was very experienced in caring for kittens this young/small as they couldnt even tell me how old she might be. She was covered in fleas so when I brought her home I immediately gave her a bath and then combed her with the flea comb. I did give her some canned kitten food and she ate it just fine. Im not use to caring for kittens this young so Im looking for advice on how to properly care for her. I do have another 5 month old kitten that Im keeping separate right now due to not knowing the health of the new kitty. Any help/advice would be appreciated.
