I found a tiny kitten please help!?

Question

She has barely opened her eyes yet she is so tiny. My neighbor is getting some syringes but she wants milk NOW. What can I do to calm her down? She keeps whining and making sad noises, She has a sore on one of her legs as well.

I tried giving her milk through a cloth and my fingers but she won't take it! She is meowing awfully loud now for her size and nudging my skin.

Answer 1

buy kitten milk, in most grocery stores, also please take her to a vet!

Answer 2

You are in for a fun night!! You need to go to a store/vet where ever and buy some kitten milk formula. Warm it up just like you would a baby bottle. Find a dropper or something small enough to feed it to her. Because she is sooo young you will need to stimulate her to go to the bathroom when you are done feeding her. the mother cat would usually do this by cleaning up the "back of the kitten". I would take a nice warm moist paper-towel and wipe (GENTLY) the backside of the kitten this feeling should stimulate the kitten to go to the bathroom. You need to do this after each feeding and it can take some time so be patient. Be careful not to irritate the kitten and case more damage then good.
You also need to feed the kitten about every 2-3 hours to be on the safe side. I say this cause I don't know just how young it is. You can't feed it too much but you can feed it too little.
The kitten needs to be kept warm...so get a hot water bottle or heating pad. Just make sure the kitten can get off of it if it is too hot so that it doesn't get burned.
Tomorrow morning I would call your local vet and have her leg checked out. They can also give her a quick exam which I'm sure she needs.
Good luck with everything, I wish you the best!!!

I think this is a few days old so i will try my best, if you go to a vet clinic and get a bottle with a teat made for a kitten, special milk that is formulated for pets. Keep the kitten extremly warm, it will need to be fed every 2-3 hours at first. You will also have to make the kitten go to the toilet as at this age it is unable to go itself. If you don't feel that you are up for this, see if someone else can take it. There are people (like myself) that do this all the time. I'm a vet nurse and usually they are the best to help.

Answer 4

Get to your local vet asap they should sell puppy and kitten bottles and formula specifically for this sort of thing and take the kitten to get it checked out as well if it makes it it will need constant care untill it is at least five to six weeks old in the meantime try to get some lactose free milk for kittens and cats from your supermarket and just see if she will take some maybe you can just mix it some warm water to dilute it and keep your kitten warm. Good luck!

Answer 5

I have raised 3 tiny kittens myself. She is probably whining because she is scared. There is a special formula that they make for kittens and little bottles also. I used both of these. For now, have you tried putting a drop of milk on your finger and feeding it to her like that? Do you have a clean medicine dropper? You can use that also. Please try to get the kitten formula ASAP. It has everything she needs to grow and thrive. I got mine at Walmart. If you can get her to a vet tomorrow, take her. If not, do you have any antibiotic ointment that you use when you get cut? You can put a little of that on the sore.

Answer 6

All good advice... but don't feed the kitten normal cow's milk.
The protein is too much for a kitten.

Take the kitten to a vet... to have the leg sore checked out as well as a good kitten formula to feed it.

Or you can find these things at a large pet store as well such as Petco. Good luck!

Answer 7

YOU CANNOT GIVE HER COW MILK. SHE WILL NOT SURVIVE ON THAT!
She need kitten formula. You can get KMR from any petstore. You need to know that raising orphan kittens is very hard. If you have had no experience with it, you should call around to see if you can find a vet or a kitten rescue that can raise her. You will also need to stimulate her to use the bathroom several times a day. You will need to keep her warm.
If you decide to try to raise her, you have lots and lots of research to do.
Best of luck...I hope she does well!

Answer 8

try milk formulated for kittens (usually from vet clinics) also it would be a good idea to have a vet check her out as those sores could be just about anything. she sounds like she needs some medical attention. but in the mean time keep her warm and try feeding her with a eye dropper.
good luck!!

Answer 9

Take her to the emergency vet asap. They will give her the iv's needed. I had to give a very small puppy mouth to mouth once and it was horrible-you don't want to go through this-take her in as soon as you can.
They also sell milk for kittens at the pet store, use this, not pasturized milk we are used to.
Hurry!

Answer 10

Sounds like she is definately hungry and wants food NOW!
You can buy commercial kitten formula at most pet food stores, as well as kitten bottles. She will probably need to be bottle fed for at least another week (and that's if she weans early).
I would highly recommend taking her to a vet ASAP. They can answer any and all questions you may have and will also check her over to make sure she is healthy. They can also show you how to help her relieve herself.
Good luck!

Answer 11

keep her warm, with aheating pad and a towel over it..... if you have a medicine dropper, give her some milk from it. I dont' want to sound like a jerk, but you probably won't be able to keep this little kitten alive. We had one that we found at the gas station, and kept it alive for 2 weeks, it unfortunately died from aspirating on the milk. I wish you the best of luck with this little kitten.
