The last few days his gotten worse. Been trying to feed him kitten milk. Cause his mom wouldn't feed him like she does her other 2 kittens.
I'm truly sorry to hear about the challenges your kitten is facing. It sounds like she's dealing with some significant issues, especially with her lack of appetite, weight loss, and lethargy. Since she's not receiving nourishment from her mother, it's vital to ensure she gets the nutrition she needs.
First, continue providing her with kitten milk replacement formula. It's important to use a formula specifically designed for kittens, as cow's milk can lead to digestive problems. When feeding her, use a syringe or a bottle made for kittens, and make sure she's in a comfortable position, similar to how she would naturally nurse from her mother.
Keeping her warm is also crucial, as young kittens struggle to regulate their body temperature. You can use a warm blanket or a heating pad set to low to help maintain her warmth. Additionally, ensure she stays hydrated. If she's not drinking on her own, you may need to offer fluids with a syringe.
It's important to monitor her weight and energy levels closely. If you notice she's not improving or her condition worsens, seeking veterinary care promptly is essential. A veterinarian can provide specific treatments and check for any underlying conditions that might be affecting her health.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions or need further assistance. Thank you for taking such good care of her.
