    Keep feeding her, so she doesn't get dehydrated. Where are you located? Have you tried helping her poop? She might need that, being so young. I'd call an all-night emegency vet in your area just for advice.

    617-453-0143 is the phone number for the Veterinary Emergency Hospital near me - they are open 8 pm to 8 am, and are in eatern Massachusetts. They were wonderful when a certain bunny broke her leg at 11:30 at night.

    Help my dying kitten.

    Thank you very much Karen for your advice, I will keep trying to feed her then, but how often? It needs sleep too, I think. Hope she doesn't get dehydrated. I live in Denmark. But this site is the only one I could find. Yes, we have tried helping her poop by rubbing her belly. I can’t find any Veterinary Emergency that is open here.

    Tommy, not to be undelicate, but, you don't rub her belly to help her poop. You need to stimulate her anal area. I would take a warm wash cloth and gently rub over her anal area to stimulate her. I would up her feeding to once every 4 hours, smaller amounts...

    I would really try to find someone that is open right now for assistance. Good luck to you and the kitten.

    I just sent Randi a private message - Randi lives in Denmark. I said to please check Cat Rescue...I know you will be contacted when Randi sees the message!

    Hugs and hang in there!

    Thank you for telling me Cataholic. I woke up a vet at home and he told me to leave it in peace until they open i 4 hours. Hope it is not too late.

    Remember, Tommy - to help her poop, rub her hind end gently with a warm washcloth, the place where the poop comes out.

    PT prayers are on the way to your baby!

    And they are powerful ones.

    hugs

    I'm going through something somewhat similar with one of my babies right now. If you have any soft food, warm it up a little, sprinkle a touch of garlic on it and try to get baby to eat that. My girl ate that for the first time tonight and it appears to help. My vet is going to call in the morning for an update, but it seems to work. Squirt wouldn't drink anything, she was tired of milk, so we tried some soft food (which I know I shouldn't feed but we were desperate). Otherwise, if the kitten won't take that, then take a syringe and put it far in the mouth and push milk in that way. She should get about a tablespoon a feeding, but with her losing weight, you may want to push more.

    Please, as soon as you know, let us know how the baby is. Our thoughts & prayers are with you.

    I need help too

    I found this kitten and I guess the mother was moving them or something when she got hit and died. I couldn't find the others, well Comrade Pashenka is eating off the bottel well, and offften,He is about 8 days old, and while "changing his diaper" I noticed what looked like a hemoroid, His stools are normal yellow/toothpasteish.but after I get the poo there is little spots of blood. I can't really afford a vet.and I would be devistated to loose him we bought him all we could imagine, KMR, botles,Cat wipes,eye wipes, bene-bac,Heating pad,Made him a neuter apptfor when he turns 4 months. I am desperate
    please help,
