I found a kitten today under a car it was about 94 F outside, she looks about 2 weeks old. I fed her small bottle of milk through out the day but she won’t poo or pee. I read online that we have to stimulate them like their mom would so I tried but she just won’t, I don’t know what else to do.

    Do you know if you are stimulating her correctly?  You really need to contact the local humane society or cat rescue for help and instruction on how to properly stimulate the kitten.  U should use a warm moist washcloth to rub on belly to stimulate the kitten.

I have a 3 week old kitten whos mother died so she has been bottle fed , she recently starting drinking out of a bowl and when she ran out of milk i went to get more, she normally has raw goats milk but i couldnt find any anywhere so i went to pets at home and got some kitten milk instead , whilst i was there the vet suggested trying to get her to start eating food, so i got some wet food and put a small amount in her bowl and mixed it with milk, she loved it! But now she has horrible diorreha. I have taken the food away and just left the kitten milk , but im worried 🙁

    This is prey drive, and likely will not affect your son in the least.

    HOWEVER.

    If you haven’t yet, I would invest in a crate.  Train the dog to accept the crate, and crate the dog when you cannot supervise.  Had the dog been tested around cats prior to moving him to your home?

    That’s good to know thank u Laura see believe it or not dog was never with cats before my sister had a cat but the never really had any interaction but with my cat the dog and her get on like a house on fire no problems at all this wud have been the last thing I would expect my dog to do considering she’s as gentle as they come I just didn’t know how to approach the situation with the dog

    So if the dog really doesn’t know any better, you cannot expect her to know how to behave.

    YOU have to teach her. As I said, this means crating when you can’t supervise. When she isn’t crated, she should either be leashed to you or dragging a leash attached to her collar so you can INSTANTLY correct and redirect her, and don’t let her roam to another room unless she’s supervised by an adult. EVERYONE in the household has to be on board with this.

    How is her general obedience? Does she respond instantly when you give her a command? If not, get in a class with a good, balanced trainer (ask your vet for a referral). This will help build a relationship between you and the dog, and the trainer may have more ideas for you.

    Do the cats have a cat-safe room WITH a solid gate on the door? If not, set that up NOW. Make sure everything they need is in that room so you can shut the door if need be. I would also keep the kittens (and the queen, for now) in a dog crate when you can’t supervise them.

I Found This Kitten About 3 Days Ago Lying In The Middle Of The Road…

I found this kitten about 3 days ago lying in the middle of the road. I brought her home and bathed her and fed her. she has no problem eating. she is a cuddle bug. from my research I would say shes around 4-6 weeks. she has been sneezing and has had this gooey eye problem since I brought her home, although it has gotten a little better since then. unfortunately I cant afford to take her to the vet at the moment so I’m just looking for home remedies or a medication I could possibly buy at the store.

    I would be.  Sounds potentially wormy.  Please get her to the vet today.

    My kitten had a very round bloated tummy. It ended up that he had Giardia which was easily treated with medication and daily bathing. I suggest making a vet appointment. My best to Emma – 🙂

    Just for future reference: this isn’t a hybrid.  The word “hybrid” indicates a mix of a wild species and a domesticated species.  What you’re talking about is simply a mix, and the risks are about equal to those of a purebred.  In short, you’re taking a risk no matter what…chances are the owner(s) of the parents have not done any sort of health testing and do not know the overall health of either cat’s pedigrees.

  2. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    Breeding 2 different breeds together gives you hybrid vigor.  This term basically says that mix breeds tend to have less health problems and live longer than their purebred parents.  Although there is always a risk hybrids of 2 purebreds are usually healthier.

    He was vaccinated a clue of weeks ago and he doesn’t have any kind of parasites.

  2. Chelsea Margolis

    Would he still have a bump a couple of weeks after getting vaccinated?
