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!

I have just read through the thread of comments from you and some of the other members in the cat community. You are amazing, mysamson.
You have rescued this little angel and given him a wonderful life. You are an awesome fur baby mom. Samson and your Pom are so blessed to have such a loving and knowledgeable mama. We here at the cat community all understand the exhaustion of caring for ill pets. I am sending healing prayers for all of you. Eve ( one of Sammy the cat's caregivers and
Sam's mom )

I just read through this thread then saw the new pics.  The first photo, omg.  And no, we don't want to know 'why' the rope, do we.  I don't want to even think about it.  

With your awesome TLC, Samson no longer looks frightened and worried like in the 2nd photo, but content and happy now.    

Bless you mysamson, for taking in this little one.  He couldn't of been found by a better pet parent.  I know I can speak for everyone here in that we will look forward to your updates on this precious baby.  

Prayers for both Samson, your Pom, and You, as well.  I know we all understand the exhaustion of caring for ill pets.  Hugs to you!

OMG!!!! I could just cry at the thought of how much he needed YOU to find him and make his life a Fairy Tale. I envy you being able to spoil that little man, rotten.

The most resent picture is amazing! See what love can do---turn ugly little ducklings into beautiful Swans. He is going to be a heart breaker with the ladies. Thank you so much for being the wonderful, caring person you have been in saving this little homeless and helpless creature.

GOD--I just hate seeing that string around his neck---I don't want to even think about that.

Prayers for Samson and the Pom!!

A few pictures are up!  Samson is doing great.  Pom (Gracey bear) is on meds, and seems to be feeling a little better.  Hopefully she will recover quickly.   Thank you for the prayers!   Can't wait till they are both healed and ready to make friends!
