So, Rocky has a cat problem. I decided the best way to get him over this is to get a litter of bottle baby foster kittens. I picked up two approximately 3 week old kitties yesterday and unfortunately one dies within a few hours. The one who is left, I've named Norm in hopes that having a name with somehow spur his survival instinct. Norm doesn't eat much, he lets me force/syringe about a teaspoon of formula into him every 4 hours or so. He is interested in wet food, but tries to suckle it and gets it in his nose which he seems to find discouraging. He will not take the bottle AT ALL, and he likes the formula much better with some cat food added for flavor.
I don't know what to do for him. He had his sibling and his momma until recently. I don't want him having too much contact with the dogs or my stuff until I get his flea situation under control (any suggestions on that?). I gave him a stuffed animal, and he has fleece blankets, towels and a heating pad. What else can I/should I be doing?
He had bloody diarrhea yesterday, so the shelter I am fostering for gave me some dewormer. He hasn't pooped today, but I won't worry too much about constipation until tomorrow.
I would love any and all input!
