My son found a very dehydrated baby on Monday at his baseball practice. We searched for mom for hours. We brought the baby home and started on Pedialyte. After it seemed to be doing well I gave it formula. I was told by someone else that kitten formula would be ok. I have since found out it is not. I did order FV formula and bought Esbilac until it comes. I was also told the wrong amount. I believe we have been over feeding this poor little one the wrong stuff.

I don’t know if the baby has such watery diarrhea or is peeing so frequently that it’s belly seems to always be wet. He does seem to drag his butt from time to time too.

We stopped the formula for now and started Pedialyte for a few feedings. Bathed him and changed bedding to try and keep an eye on changes w the right stuff and amounts.

His eyes just started to open today. I am guessing the age is about 5 weeks.

Any advice would be helpful. Could this be from the wrong food? Could it be a UTI?
