Driving into town from the homestead, I saw a dead kitten in the road. When I drove over the kitten I saw a leg move, and bingo I saw it was alive. I backed up carefully, and checked it out, not a lot of traffic on these back roads. Kitten was having a spasm , and bleeding out the nose, but alive. I took it home, and put it in a box with waster and food. Kitten did take some water. I got my wife involved, and she fed it with and eyedropper, milk and cream. Kitten appears to be about 6 or 7 weeks old. She is not real interested in soft cat food, but the wife made some gruel, and she lapped it up. The poor kitten can walk, but only in circles. I fear brain damage or swelling. Today is 3 days since finding her, and no other problems, aside from dilated eyes. she likes to sit in the sink, with warm bathwater, unusual for a cat. This evening my wife said she saw the kitten manage to walk in a straight line. Wondering what to do, we live way out, and aside from the dog, spending a ton of money on a kitten is just not an option. We have been keeping her in a dark place, to keep stimulation down for her. Any ideas on how to speed or help her recover?
