New kitty w/diarrhea

[mysamson]

We found a stray kitten beside a busy road 2 nights ago, so small and frail.  The next day (yesterday) we took it to the vet.  Fortunately he's neg. for feline aids/leuk.  He was given a shot and worm medication.  We then put out both wet and dry kitten food, just hoping it would eat something.  He has eaten some of both, but def. more wet than dry.  He will drink some water too, but does not play whatsoever, and sleeps a lot. The vet thinks he's around 11-12 weeks old.  The concern has been that the poor baby has terrible diarrhea, numerous times today and several times last night, and of course the vet is closed.  
The stool is orange color, much like the wet food, and stinks worse than anything you could imagine.  You can sometimes hear the babies tummy grumbling while pooping.  From what I've read it could be the new medicine, the new food and of course the shock from all of this, and the poor thing wasn't in great shape to start with. I haven't let him out of my sight.   I would love some advice on where to go from here.  My heart goes out to this angel.  He hasn't had a great life so far....would love to change that!  

Thanks so much!

It's just an adorable photo I got off the Internet.  It looks like a real kitten but  with little angel wings photoshopped on.  I love it, too.  

I will friend you, then you can see my Jade.  Make sure to look at the older photos when she was looking healthier.  She has Numerous issues now, and isn't doing so well.  I hope and pray we will have her at least another yr, but I'm not counting on that.  

You're so welcome honey.  Keep us posted on Samson, okay?

Is your photo a real kitty?  Oh my, that is a beautiful fur baby!  Thank you for the prayers, God Bless you!

The new pic of Samson is precious, just adorable.  He doesn't even resemble the same kitten...thank God.  You've done great mysampson.  Wonderful to hear your Pom is feeling better as well.  

And of course we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers, of course!!  I hope things resolves themselves soon.  

Hugs to you~

Thank you all for the kind prayers and posts.  Both are doing just great.  Fortunately my pom was healthy enough to weather this rather well, all things considered.  We are almost finished with the medicine for her.  

Samson is just great, plays like crazy, purrs often, and still crawls up close to get warm and cuddle when he's finished running around. His poop is almost normal, so he seems to be adjusting to the food and all the other changes.  I will post another pic soon!  

God Bless all you sweet people here!  If you can spare extra prayers for Mom, I will take them.  I have a few other challenges that aren't resolving as fast as I'd like!!
