That's good advice about soaking bread, Shoshy. I would be careful of the kitten having too much dog food. For some reason dogs can do OK with cat food but the reverse is different. Anything is better than what she had though, which was nothing.

The products I'm referring to are powdered milk replacers (another name for all kinds of orphaned animals is Multimilk..I use that a lot) for kittens who have lost their mother's or can't nurse for some reason. There is another product on the market, available here in grocery stores, that is a kind of milk for cats that supposedly doesn't badly effect them as milk can sometimes. I've not used it and am not sure just what it is.

A good interim food is whole raw egg beaten with a touch of water or milk.

Barb, this baby could have a number of things but I wouldn't worry too much about FIP until Lisa sees how she does in the next few days. Fat belly on skinny baby....pretty normal (marasmus). And lots of kittens are born with worms, even in the best of families. It's a baby thing and is usually self limiting....they throw them off as they grow older and are nutritionally better off. (I don't get many kittens in so I am really not an authority.) I do know that upper respiratories can carry through generations of poorly maintained cats and think that the most likely in this case. ( I think there is a 10-14 day incubation period for FIP and usually there would be a rather high fever. And I think FIP is a bit more likely with purebreds, exotics, than with strays. Homeless cats are surprisingly healthy, other than this situation of a starving baby.)

GM always recommended Calc Phos for infant animals taken too early from their mothers.

Geez Barb, six baby bunnies! That's a lotta hoppin goin on! Glad to hear all is well with them. It's a really good thing that their Mom came back because as cute as they look, they don't do well raised by humans. But.....if you like bunnies....be willing to bet there are many, many at the local animal shelter (domestic, so different) looking for a lady just like you! Have you ever seen those Lop Ears, or the Angoras? Take your heart away. Friend of mine sits and visits with an Angora bunny on her lap, slowly pulling out the excess hair and spinning it into wool. Both with very contented looks on their faces, I might add!)

Good luck to Jazzy.
