Hi.

Thank you for taking this little one in, but the baby kitten is getting no nourishment from LB - only 'some' comfort.

I don't mean to be mean, but this kitten has got to get more nourishment into him/her or s/he is going to die - it sounds like it has been close to 48 hours since a sufficient amount of nourishment has been fed to the baby. Baby kittens do not have the luxury of days, some only have hours. Chances are the kitten is severely dehydrated now and needs the intervention of a vet to hydrate him/her. Kittens also need to be kept warm (100 degrees) and you cannot feed a chilled kitten. Most vets will do a courtesy visit when they find out that you are caring for an orphan kitten. The vet and techs will show you how to hold the kitten, how to cut the nipple or use a syringe or eye dropper. Some will even give you supplies and KMR or other milk replacement. You have to be very careful as you can easily aspirate a kitten if they are held wrong or you try to squeeze milk into them.

Did you look at the link from AbbyMom? www.kittenrescue.org/handbook.htm? it is an excellent source of what needs to be done. I strongly urge you to take the baby to a vet or you will lose him. /mari
