A week old kitten
This cat was abandoned by his mother. It’s my first time taking care of a pet ever. I did take it to the vet. He told us to feed it with a syringe every (kitten formula already bought) 2 hours and then rub its butt with wet cotton to help it pee/poop.
The thing is he barely eats a few drops. He closes his mouth once like 2 drops are in. Is this normal? How much of the syringe should he be eating every 2 hours? Also the room temperature is around 28C right now but I’m afraid that he’ll get cold. Honestly at this point any tips are appreciated. Thank you.
Also its been a few hours since we adopted him from a friend and I am extremely paranoid something will happen to him etc. I literally control if he’s breathing every 2 mins since he came and cannot leave his side. He is sleeping right now I think. How many hours a day do they sleep?
Also lastly I just saw a very small tiny bug in his fur but it literally disappeared deeper into his fur and I cannot find it. Any tips?
Update: fed him for the second time and he ate this time. I let him sit in his box and held his head upwards gently rather than holding him in my hand. Seemed to work.
Update 2: we took him to the vet again. He cleaned the fleas and gave us a flea comb. He also again said to feed him every 2 hours , make him pee after every meal and to keep him warm. We are doing all of these a d trying our absolute best to make this little kitten live <3
