    Someone gave me this kitten and then i found out that she was only 6 weeks old, i was kind of upset about that but i have another cat who is about to be 1 that i raised since she was 2 days old so i know exactly how to take care of her! only thing that’s worried me is when i got her, her poop was a little runny. i’ve been feeding her kitten canned food mixed with a little bit of water because i’ve noticed she won’t drink her water out of the bowl that i have for her. But i noticed her poop was a little runny then i noticed one of her poops had a tiny spec of blood in it, i’ve put her on a feeding schedule and i have noticed her poop start to become more formed and less runny but i saw just the tiniest spec of blood and she’s pooped twice since i saw the blood lady and i haven’t seen it yet. She’s playing and eating like usual. i was thinking it could just be from a diet change but i’m just so worried!!

    Erisa,

    Thanks for taking care of this wee kit. It can be the change in food. Do you know if this kit has been dewormed? If you haven’t seen any more blood and she behavior normally, I wouldn’t worry about it. If you see more and/or a larger amount of blood then call the vet.

    no she has not been dewormed and i’m going to take her to the vet as soon as i can but i have to wait until i get paid. Even though i’ve only had her a couple days now i would be devasted if anything happened to happen to her.

    I understand. Wee kits snuggle into life before you even know it happened. 😉

    Here’s some information on veterinarians so you can find a free or low-cost spay or neuter/services.

    Working with veterinarians
    1) Negotiate a payment plan with your vet. If you’re a client in good standing, they may be happy to work out a weekly or monthly payment plan. However, a vet you’ve never been to may not agree to such a plan.
    Offer to perform a service for your vet like cleaning kennels, answering phones or other work in lieu of cash.
    2) Get a second opinion. You’ll pay a consultation fee, but another vet may have other, less expensive ways to treat your pet.
    Use a vet in a less expensive area. Vets in smaller towns tend to charge lower fees.
    3) Check out local veterinary schools. Many run low-cost clinics for limited income clients. The American Veterinary Medical Association’s website and VeterinarySchools.com have lists of veterinary schools by state.
