Question

My step dad brought a kitten home today she is about 1.5 months old and she was caught under a freezer chest she is very pittifu looking and she want eat anything I'm giving her milk through a medical surenge I don't know what to feed her and I'm realy worried about her

Answer 1

Get the kitten milk you can purchase from the store. It is supplemented and is a formula specially for kittens. It is less than $8 and it could litterally save her life. Keep her really warm. But also make sure she is getting water from the suringe if she isn't taking it from a bowl or a bottle. Keep me posted and i"ll help out as much as i can

Answer 2

First of all, like everyone else said - no more cow's milk. It is very bad for cats. While yes, you should be getting this kitten to the vet, there are things you can do until then. Get some wet cat food - the best would be some you can find at a vet for kittens because it has more nutrition and fat which they need. Try Hill's prescription diet p/d. If not vet food, any wet cat food will do. Take a spoonful and put it on a flat plate. Mash it with a fork and add a little water until it is a little soupy. Then put it in the microwave for no more than ten seconds. You don't want it hot - just warm because it makes it smell more appetizing and seem more appealing. If the kitten still won't eat it, suck it up into that surgical syringe you have and force feed the kitten. If it was caught under the freezer it hasn't eaten for a while and NEEDS food. Also, make sure fresh water is available.

Answer 3

i know everyone else said this, but take her to the vet. Why? How was she caught, chest, stomach? Ok, that could damage major organs. Is she walking with a limp? Was it caught on her leg? How much does she weigh? Does she look skinny? Are her eyes bulging? Any diarria? Is she pukeing? This could be a true emergancy! Go now! A cat not eating is bad! Don't feed cows milk, get the specially made kittens milk, goats or sheep milk. Cows milk causes diarria.

Answer 4

Sweetie- PLEASE call an emergency vet in your area. They can offer the best advise to help you. She definitely needs proper nutrition and needs it fast! Stop trying the cow's milk- no good for kitties.

I know kittens drink warmed up goat's milk which you can find in the store next to soy milk. At this age she might be ready to eat a little wet or dry MIXED with the goat's milk. It needs to be very soft. How was she under a freezer? Where is the mother cat?

Answer 5

Do not give her human milk...kittens cannot digest it ok and it will make her sicker and create more problems. Check her to see if she is dehydrated. Carefully and gently pull her skin between her shoulder blades upward and see if it pops back really quick or keeps it's shape. If it keeps it's shape or goes back really slow, she is very dehydrated and needs to see a vet ASAP. If she cannot eat a soft canned food and drink water, she will need a "special" kitten milk formula that you should be able to get from your vet, walmart may even carry it...call and ask..they should sell a bottle small enough also. But by no means do you need to give her human milk...try some tuna juice to see if she reacts to that and will drink it on her own...that usually gets a cats attention more than anything.

Answer 6

Cow's milk is bad for cats, especially kittens! They don't digest it well, and it can cause diarhea. If she is about 6 weeks old, she would be weaned by now. I would offer her canned cat food and water. You could supplement this with the canned or powdered kitten formula, but it probably isn't necessary. Keep her warm and quiet - she may be ill, or just scared. (If she should develop diarhea from the milk, try some yogurt - the bacteria in it will help.)

Answer 7

1. you must put her somewhere warm, i'm suggesting, wrap a hot water bottle (use warm water!) around a towel, and let her sleep near it.

2. u go to the vet, and ask for food that has strong smell, usually it's for sick cats, and it's very soft (diz is a very good one!)

3. usually kitten this age can already try on biscuits. so if you have any biscuits for a month old, you put it in warm water, when it's soft enough, suck it using syringe.let her eat

4. what kind of milk are you using? you must use milk especially for kittens, otherwise, it will not digest it properly

Answer 8

Take her to the vet now!! the freezer might have hurt her in someway. She is probally malnourished because kittens are supposed to have there mothers milk which has the nutrients the kitten need so TAKE HER TO THE VET!!

Answer 9

give her water only. cows milk of any kind isn't good for cats and tehy can't digest it corrctly.
Try giving her tuna or boil some chicken
TRy to get her to teh vets tomorrow and have her checked to make sure she is healthy and then get some purina kitten show to feed her you may need to moisten it at firts if she is only 6 weeks but teh vet should be able to give you a better idea of the age.

Answer 10

Okay you need to have your Dad make a vet Appointment and get her Checked out... and Also go to your local pet store and get her some Kitten Formula...
