We rescued him from Dairy Queen.

[molucass]

We were pulling out of the drive thru last night after getting our ice cream and as we went around the back, he came running out from under where they have the dumpsters. We almost hit him.
I didn't want him to get run over so we brought him home..

I went inside the DQ after we got him to ask the people that worked there if they had seen any kittens running around... The girl said she saw him, and 3 others.. Another person had caught 2 of the other ones yesterday, and one of them got ran over unfortunately. I don't understand how the person caught 2 other ones but not him.. All I had to do was say "Come mere baby!" and he came waddling over to me.







He had fleas bad, so we gave him a bath..

He sounds a little congested and his eyes are running..

I called 3 different vets this morning and they ALL said they couldn't see him today.. One said we wouldn't be able to get an appt. until Wednesday of next week.. Another said Tuesday. But the last one I called set me up an appointment Monday...
My mom has some clavamox left over from one of her cats when she hurt her leg..
Do any of you know if it would be ok to give him that until we can get the vet appt. on Monday?

[GILL]

Bless you and the little one. What a cutie

[cassiesmom]

What a darling baby kitty! It would have to be a tiny dose of Clavamox, but his eyes and nose are so red ... ask the veterinarian if you can dose him with Clavamox until he's seen, and how much to give. I wonder where his momma kitty is and I wonder how old he is. Hello there, baby kitty! I think your name should be Misty because you were found at the DQ ... Welcome little one.

[CathyBogart]

This is sort of unrelated, but....why is there clavamox left over from a previous prescription? It is VERY important to finish off antibiotic prescriptions COMPLETELY, even if the infection is gone before you finish.....not finishing antibiotic prescriptions is how we breed antibiotic-resistant bacteria!

That said, WHAT a cutie!! Is he going to stay on permanently?

[Taz_Zoee]

Awww, I love the markings on his head and his nose. I hope he checks out okay at the vet.

Are you keeping him?

[Medusa]

Oh my goodness, I just love his markings! I would call your vet or the emergency clinic and ask how much Clavamox to give him until he can be seen. Baby kittens wouldn't need much and he may not need it anyhow. Good luck and please keep us updated. He's adorable!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Thanks for rescuing him. He sure is adorable and I hope that his vet exam goes well. I'd name him DQ or if he's a girl she could be named Queenie. I'd also call a vet and ask about giving him the clavamox before you give him any of it.

I am actually unsure why my mom never finished giving Angel her anti-biotics... She didn't actually have an infection, but the vet gave it to her as a precautionary thing because something got ahold of her and made a small hole in her leg.

I probably won't keep him.. Not saying for sure that we absolutely wont. But we will probably just get him well and wait until he is old enough to be neutered before we find him a home. He's a very sweet little boy, so we shouldn't have a problem finding him a home when/if we do..

Does anyone see the outline of the cat he has on his back?

LOLOLOL,

Check it out!

Tail, two legs and an ear!

Yeah, I see it too.


That looks like a VERY young kitten. Maybe 4-5 weeks. Sorry you weren't
able to get him a Vet check before Monday, but I hope he checks out as
healthy.

[Scooter's Mom]

Thank you for rescuing him. He's a cutie pie.

[moosmom]

What a sweet baby!!! I wouldn't give him anything until he sees the vet. Because he's so tiny (looks to be about 4 weeks) he's probably anemic from the fleas. I'm sure the vet will also hydrate him as I'm sure he's also dehydrated. He looks skinny.

Please keep us posted on his progress. Great job rescuing him! (or her)

[catmandu]

What a sweet little fellow, and we would check with the Vet as to waht you can give him. If they are close enough you can drop in, and ask if they can giive you something temporary for him, although they usually look at the Kitten first.
What a little Love Bug, and The Found Cats all pray that you fail fostering and make him your very own.
Moose Angel will be his Guardian Angel.
Here he is a few years ago with John Hancock.

We rescued a baby kitten ten days ago as today from the woods, with a bad case of URI, skinny and the worst case of ear mites I have ever seen!

For URI , she got a prescription of 1 ml. of a oral suspension of doxicillin 50mg/5ml. every twelve hours. But luckily your doesn't look nearly as bad.

For running eyes, I always clean them with a cloth soaked with saline solution or chamomilla tea.

[Grace]

What a sweetie! Do I see extra digits on the front?

I would call an Emergency Vet to check on the Clavamox dose. Maybe even take him in there?
