No problem, thank you. <3I'm sorry, that's all the advice I have. Good luck with it.
Keeping it warm and fed is as much as you can do for it right now, I think. I would be trying to find a rescue asap- or calling vets and explaining the situation to see what they can do.Yes, I am looking into a rescue center. However, I’m looking for advice as of right now.
Yes, I’ve been giving the kitten fluids intermittently. And yes, I’ve helped it pee but it hasn’t pooped yetIf its breathing is weird & bubbly, I wonder if it has a respiratory infection. If it's dehydrated, it should probably be given fluids intravenously or subconsciously. Look for someone in your area that fosters kittens, they should be able to help.
And remember, young kittens cannot urinate or defecate on their own, they need to be stimulated by wiping their genitalia with a warm, damp cloth. Have you been doing this?
Oh and I have posted an ad for the kitten, I’m also looking for someone to foster it.If its breathing is weird & bubbly, I wonder if it has a respiratory infection.

Are you giving subcutaneous (under the skin) fluids?Yes, I’ve been giving the kitten fluids intermittently. And yes, I’ve helped it pee but it hasn’t pooped yet
No, I’ve been giving them electrolytes via a dropper. It drinks it willingly, the pinch test for dehydration is slowly but surely progressing positively.Are you giving subcutaneous (under the skin) fluids?
How much does the kitten weigh?No, I’ve been giving them electrolytes via a dropper. It drinks it willingly, the pinch test for dehydration is slowly but surely progressing positively.
