Bellbuzz,
You're doing great! I am so glad you were able to get some meds for the kitten's eyes.
I was going to suggest a small saucer instead of a bowl to put the food in, perhaps it might be able to get to it more easily, but if what you are doing is working, don't change it.
A warm moist wash cloth is my next suggestion to help "wash" him like his mommy would. His face and all over just like a cat needs to. Then make sure he is not wet and dry him good, then comb him out. He will enjoy it and it will help bond him and perhaps he may learn to do this for himself too when he gets older.
Check for fleas too, they can kill a baby kitten or puppy. If you found it wondering in a field, it will most likely have them.
Mom cats will move their babies around to keep them safe. They move them one by one untill all the babies are in the new place. So keep an eye peeled for a momma cat wondring around in that field,mewing for a lost baby.
Good luck! |
