    So i found these newborn kitten 2 weeks ago..

    at first he was constipated.. and Now he has diarrhea.. 🙁

    i don’t know what to do.. He refuses to eat..

    he is becoming dehydrated.. I made a homemade pedialyte but i can only give it really really small amounts because he don’t want to eat. he sleeps a lot and has a sore bum.. I can feel that he is feeling pain.

    he is not playing or moving more than usual, his behavior changed a lot.

    more quiet than usual, What should i do?

    should i wake him up every 30 mins to force him to drink pedialyte?

    I am really really worried!

    Get him to the vet ASAP, kittens can fade fast, I’d head there now and call on your way. :-/ Good luck.

    Kit is right. GET THAT KITTY TO THE VET NOW!!! If your regular vet is not available, get to a 24/7 veterinary emergency center. Kittens get dehydrated rapidly and will “fade” just as quickly.

    When he gets better, you might try making him something called “Kitten Glop”. There are various recipes on the Internet. The one I used for my newborn was on http://www.hdw-inc.com/glop.htm “DEBBIE ARSICH’S BELLBOOKNBENGAL GLOP”. Shop-Rites carry goat’s milk and when using baby food, DO NOT USE THOSE CONTAINING GARLIC OR ONIONS. (Beech-Nut has these.)

    Now get to that doctor!!!

    Kiro, can you let us know how your kitten is doing? Hope the little one is doing better.
