One of our outside cats had kiiten under our trailer. One wandered out today, Dehydrated looking(skin real loose and wrinkeld like on belly). It had some kind on discharge in both eyes. It also has really explosive diarrhea. The kitten appears to be about 3-4 weeks. What I'm wondering is if the kitten may have some kind of illness, or if maybe the mother cat just wasn't given it the proper care that it needed, and feeding it??? Someone please help me with diagnosing this!!

Hi

I am guessing from this that you left the mother cat to fend for herself with new kittens? Mother cats need alot of food, and it dosn't hurt to give them as much as they can eat just to be certain they are getting enough.

The kitten you describe is very sick and needs help or it will certainly die. THe others in the litter proberlly are sick too, aswell as the mother.

I suggest you put some bowls of food under the trailer (and fresh water), and try to catch the mother and kittens to take to the vets.
