I found a tiny kitten, maybe 10 days old; don’t know how to keep it alive, afraid it’ll die. About the size of my hand, a bit smaller.
At ~10 days, not weaned; without mother's milk use goat milk formula (pet-store). Feed small, frequent amounts—high needs, small appetite, avoid overfeeding → indigestion/harm. Fragile—keep warm. Provide comfortable, warm, quiet environment and feed properly to raise it.
What do rabbits under one month old eat?
Kits under one month mainly drink mother's milk; if none, use goat milk formula. Their gut isn't mature and needs easy, nutritious food—goat milk fits. After weaning, alfalfa hay as staple (rich, fibrous). As they grow, gradually add rabbit pellets, fruit, vegetables.
My kitten’s left belly is bloated and it struggles to poop—is it overeating, constipation, or something else?
A bloated belly can come from overeating, fur-ball blockage, constipation (worse if it won't drink), or parasites (with diarrhea and poor appetite). Ease digestion with a gentle tummy rub and temporary fasting, feed digestible goat-milk formula and kibble, add probiotics or hairball paste, and use a kitten-safe dewormer. See a vet if it does not improve.
What should a nursing rabbit eat?
A nursing doe needs more green, juicy feed to aid milk production while supplementing nutrition, plus some concentrated feed and quality legume forage like soybean cake, bran, and soy pulp. Ensure ample water and watch milk output and the kits' intake; if milk is insufficient, supplement the underfed kits with goat milk formula.
What can a puppy that is not yet a month old eat?
Before one month, a puppy should only have mother's milk or puppy formula (goat milk). Goat milk is nutritious and easy to digest. Its digestion is weak, so other foods easily cause indigestion or harm; keep to easily digested food.
I just found a kitten, looks only 4 to 5 days old, eyes not yet open, sneezing often; found last night, passed a little stool, none today, only a little urine
Frequent sneezing in a just-found kitten is usually a cold or respiratory infection from chill or weak immunity. Since its eyes are not open, avoid hasty medication; feed kitten-specific goat milk formula every two hours by hand. A stray kitten that ate little having little excretion is normal, but such motherless kittens are hard to keep alive and need patient care; with many problems, take it to a vet.
When can a puppy start eating kibble?
Puppies can start kibble after weaning, around 6 weeks, but soak it first since their chewing and digestion are weak. Early on, mix kibble into goat's milk; use puppy food, not adult.
I found a stray cat and don’t know what to feed it—can you tell how old it is?
From the photo the cat is clearly still a kitten, though the exact age can't be determined without a birth date. Based on its small, thin build, it is likely around two months old and can be fed softened kitten kibble, canned food, and goat's milk formula.
