hand raising a kitten....help!!!!!!!!!!

Post by courtney333 »

I am hand raising a kitten that is about 3 weeks old. She was taken from her mother at about 2 weeks. The person just dropped the kittens off, so I took one. She was doing fine, taking the feedings from a bottle, but this morning I noticed she had puss coming out of her vulva, and she had a little blood in her urine. Does anyone know what this is a sign of? I don't have the money for a vet, please help!!!!

I am feeding her Hartz Health Measures Nurse Aid. No wmy brother did give her some baby rice cereal the other day mixed with her milk. She shows no signs of any distress or pain.

well, again...to me it doesn't sound normal but i suppose it could have something to do with her being a newborn.

anytime you notice blood in the urine the red flags of uti and/or stones pop up...but this cat is real young....i'll let davet or Traci chime in further on this.
