Newborn kitten

[Aleanos]

Do you a heat lamp or something where it could stay warm?

Yes, I’m keeping it warm with a little space heater but at a safe distance.

 

[Aleanos]

I'm sorry, that's all the advice I have. Good luck with it.

No problem, thank you. <3

Yes, I am looking into a rescue center. However, I’m looking for advice as of right now.

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.

If 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?

Yes, I’ve been giving the kitten fluids intermittently. And yes, I’ve helped it pee but it hasn’t pooped yet

Oh and I have posted an ad for the kitten, I’m also looking for someone to foster it.

Are you giving subcutaneous (under the skin) fluids?

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.

How much does the kitten weigh?
