Hello,
My husband and I found some kittens, not even 24hrs old, 2 of them dead, the other 2, cold as could be, at first I thought they were dead. When we went to move them, the slightest movement proved to be the saving grace of the 2 kittens who made it. One is strong healthy and raising hell when he's hungry. The umbilicals are clean and taken care of. The other kitten has issues. This one i would believe to be the runt of the litter, well, here's the list:
listless
needs help with pooping (enema style)
eats maybe 1.5-2 cc's (compared to sibling eating 6-8 cc's)
has a cold
He tries to suck on fabric, but as soon as milk comes at him, he doesnt want anything to do with it. I need some suggestions on keeing this guy fed and somewhat healthy. They are being kept in a box that has a heat pad under it, and they are on towels. They are on a 2 hr feeding schedule. Any hints on what to do with sickly? I know the first thought is vet, but i just had my dog put down, and creamated, and a bit short on funds this week until next week, so please, help.
