Yep. They said I have to be a butt rubber, too.
She/he is about three weeks. She got Clavamox (oral) and Terramycin Opth. Ointment. This one little stray kitty has cost me ver a hundred so far. I sure hope this is all it needs for now.
My Sassy got so excited she was quivering. I only let her sniff it through the carrier and then after I fed it, I let her sniff it. She was most interested in it's little ears.
I guess I will feed it again at ten this evening and get up at four for the next feeding. I sure hope I am able to make it healthy.
I truly do not want a cat. After I get it big enough I will try to give it to someone who does want one.
I discovered the other four from the litter on the side of my house. I have asked my neighbor if she will help. She was wanting them for a friend but now that they are sick she doesn't seem quite as interested. I bought her a bottle and some milk and will share the medicine withher if she will help. I have to wait and see what her decision is. If whe won't, I guess I'll have FIVE kittens. Oh MY!!
Lord, help me!
Thanks for all the responses I got. I was in a bit of a tizzy.
