PLEASE PLEASE HELP.
we had a possibly 3week old baby come into our animal hospital, our vet did not want to do anything since it was a thursday and she was off for the weekend. I'm going to sum this up really fast just because I'd like help first...
At first the baby girl was limp, I re-hydrated with pedilyte the first 24 hours then moved on to a kitten formula (which she did great on, seemed happy & healthy---the life was back in her). Yesterday i put her on Esbilac, as it was recommended on every site i visited and she went down hill. She hated it too :(
She got hiccups twice yesterday and this morning (apx an hour and a half ago) was arching her back, seemed to be going limp & gasping (yes, she was being fed every two hours) so i gave her a mixture of karo syrup and pedilyte. I've even rubbed some on her gums.
She has since stopped arching but her breathing is labored, it seems like it's small gasps every 3-4 seconds. she is weak, i'm keeping her warm i just dont know what else to do. I'm scared and my vet has no idea what to do.
