Fading kitten

I have a 3 day old kitten who is fading fast. The vet has given him an injection because it is very dehydrated but said there is nothing else to do. He wont feed off mum or hand feed. I feel helpless, any suggestions?

Re: Fading kitten

I know you're going to feel awful but I really don't think there is very much you can do in this situation.

Just make sure you give the little one lots of cuddles and comfort.

Re: Fading kitten

He seems to have a lot of mucus coming from his mouth, is there a way of clearing this?

if it's coming from his lungs hunny then no but you could try a q-tip and some water and gently remove it from inside his mouth xx it could make him a bit more comfortable xx
