So... we (I!) have a new kitten, going by dates I think he was only 5 weeks old when we got him. So as not to drip feed - my DD Dad's friend ended up with the mother making herself comfortable and giving birth in his house- call the midwife, all kudos to him.
The owners of the mother were on holiday and couldn't give a shit. When they got home, the priority was to get rid of the mother and the kittens. DD's Dad's friend - let's call him Bob, did a marvellous job and all kittens re-homed to friends like me.
Tiny tiny things, eyes still blue, yet fed on a diet of Dreamies and 'salmon or chicken treats'...
We've had our kitten for 3 weeks now and he has been de-flea'd and wormed. His bowels settled after the worming and everything seemed fine, but tonight he did another fart an explosion thankfully in the litter tray, but I'm worried about him as he seems to like drinking water by the gallon (exaggeration).
I spoke to my local vet who wanted £40 just to see him. I know I'm a fool for taking him on when I cannot afford him, but it's that or the owners said drown the lot.
He's very happy and boisterous in himself. Has tripled in size and very much has the hunting instinct for human toes!
I can't even remember why I posted now he has interrupted me so much!!
Yes, exploding bowels, water, worming... any advice please?
