Poop Troubles! Three week orphan kitten

Hi I’m new here!

I have previously taken care of a four week old kitten and she’s grew up well and is now 1 year and 6 months. Three weeks ago, I found our new baby, in my backyard under a bunch of junk we keep out there. She was meowing very loudly and by herself in the cold night, so I took her inside. To my suprise, she was very tiny, very “rat” like. Her eyes and ears were closed and umblical cord, dried but still attached.

I’ve been feeding her powder KMR and sticking to my kitten care handbook instructions very closely. The past week and a half, she’s had trouble pooping. I’ve been diluted her forumla to 1:4 ratio since she’s had hard stool.

Very hard stool and is on/off constipated. As well as her bowel movements and tummy size was concerning, so I took her to the vet. They decided to start her first deworming treatment. The vet technican, suggested that we leave her there for a couple hours so they could keep trying and giving her “mini” enemas.

She still had not poop so they prescriped her a supplement for healthy digestion and a stool softner. If she did not poop in 24 hours, they wanted us to bring her back for bloodwork and x rays. Now I don’t make a lot of money, so that was utlimately the last resort.

I decided to switch the powder KMR to liquid, as I read one causes constipation and the other, diarrhea. I was so worried as her belly was big and she hadn’t pooped much in 4 days!

Although instead of hard or normal stool, she had diarrhea. I’m very worried as to be relived that she finally got waste out of her system or that diarrhea can be very dangerous for kittens.

I’ve decided to switch back to powder KMR for her next feeding, although I’m very unsure to give her stool softner they prescribed for every eight hours. Since they are also closed so I can’t call and ask till tomorrow.

Very sorry for the extremely long post, but any advice is welcomed. I’ve already fallen in love with this kitten. Help.
