[Joannie]

I appeiciate all of your help, he/she seems to be a little better today able to eat a little wet food with some cottage cheese I will stay away from the ASA and get some kitty milk from my vet. My daughter was able to get some milk down it with a sryinge. But its little nose and eyes are still crusty and gucky. Joann

Joann,

Just keep putting warm moist wash clothes on his eyes. The vet will probably prescribe some eye ointment for him.

Thank you so much for helping this little guy out! Do you have any idea how old he is?? If he's more than 5 weeks old, you might want to get him some IAMS canned kitten food and mix it with the kitty milk. Put it in a saucer, put a little on your finger and put it in his mouth. He may not eat because he's congested (cats won't eat if they can't smell their food). Try to see if he'll eat on his own. You can also give him some Nutrical, which is high in protein and vitamins which he sounds like he needs.
