My kitten is very sick!!
I have a kitten, about 4 1/2 weeks old, and it has had many problems for the
last couple of weeks. When it was born it was a normal size, the same as the rest, and just recently it has gotten smaller than the rest, is normally fat at the stomache but has very skinny legs and backbones, and has had a uncontrolable stool. One eye has got an infection and has started having troubles standing with its front legs just tonight. It is an outside kitten and we bring it in away from the other kittens to eat soft canned food. When it gets the chance and can catch the mother cat, it will also eat from her. He has no troubles eating but is VERY sick. IF YOU HAVE ANY HELP OR ADVISE, PLEASE UPDATE ME. I don't know how long the kitten is going to live for if he doesn't get help soon. Any response is greatly appriciated!! Alyssa |

That kitten must see a vet immediately. You may have to feed him/her yourself with a bottle if the mother is untameable and if s/he requires regular medication or a stay at the vet. If S/he is away from the mother, the mother may abandon him/her and that means YOU are the new mother. --Fil |

He was old enough that the kitten was eating canned food and STIL drinking from the mother. Thank you for your advise, but I wish I could have done something sooner. My kitten passed away this morning. |

No one could be so insensitive as to leave a four week old kitten outside to more or less fend for itself. Suggestion Either get on your computer or go to the library and read up on cat care. If you are a child, please remember to read and learn as much as you can about baby animals before you try to raise any. MLB |

I got the impression from reading her first post that it was a feral
kitten, that they were just trying to look after, possibly it was the "runt" of the litter which is why the mother didn't look after it properly, I've seen this happen before, very sad.
