Help my dying kitten.

[Tommy]

We were given 4 kittens, about 5 weeks of age I think. There mother died from getting hit by a car. 3 of the kittens are doing great, weights about 600 grams. One kitten is loosing weight fast. It now only weights 450 grams. We try to feed it 10 grams 5 times a day, it will drink, but now it turns it's head as if it doesn't want any, and it throws up shortly after. It seems weary, and cries before throwing up. We are feeding it with warm substitute mother's milk fore kittens from the veterinarian. It has been using the litter box, but only fluid comes out of its rear.
We are really worried that she might not make it to the morning, where we can take it to the vet. Is there anything we can do until then? Can you please help us?

Sincerely Tommy

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.

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.

[Karen]

Good luck, and let us know whatever happens!

[Tommy]

Thank you Catty, I hope Randi can help and in time. The vet dit not sound too optimistic. The kitten seems to be in pain now and then…This really sucks.

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,
