Rescued 8-9wk Old Kitten...HELP..
My husband was on his way to the VA Hospital last night and had to swerve
into ONCOMING traffic to avoid hitting this kitten...He put on his hazard lights, got out, and chased her down...Well, she is SEVERELY malnourished, dehydrated, and flea INFESTED...So far, I have given her a bath, combed most of the burrs from her LONG hair, and managed to get her to drink a little water from a medicine syringe...The only thing I can get her to eat is juice from Friskies Shredded cat food, ALSO through the syringe...She is not injured, but she is sore from malnutrition and weak. She is very vocal and is purring, but I'm worried she may not survive...Any help???? |
