sbaker8688 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I found a baby kitten outside being attacked by an adult cat. I shooed the adult cat away and picked up the kitten. It is literally only 1 or 2 days old - eyes and ears aren't open yet. It has around 3 bite wounds or so and they were bleeding. I bought alcohol, cotton swabs, and another kind of antiseptic and cleaned his wounds with that the best I could. Besides that, main problem is eating. I bought some whole milk at the store and I have a syringe. I've tried giving him some milk many times with the syringe but he won't take it - seems most of it is spit up or falls out of his mouth and goes on the outside, and maybe he coughs on the rest. I'm not sure how much is getting down him, but my guess is very little. Of course I know he really needs a special formula, but this is just a stopgap measure until I get him to a vet, as I don't know how long he's gone without eating. Anyway, I need a vet. I'll just throw some nice-to-haves at yhou. Of course the vet must be decent, not some kind of quack. I'd like english-speaking. I'd like something nearby the Night Bazaar area. I'd like something easy to find and get to. Finally, I'm limited on transportation and what not - I'd like someone who has stuff like milk formula there to sell so I don't have to run all over God's green earth in the heat and traffic with a sick (dying) baby cat tucked under my arm trying to get formula or medicine or whatever else. Thanks for any help you can give, and hopefully you'll respond soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playyer Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Dont know the area that well, but I think you need to get some special milk from a pet store. If you can find goat milk that is better than cow milk. Easier for them to digest, preferably raw. Health food shops often have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertmueller Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Purpoon Animal Hospital on 242, Wualai Road, near Airport Plaza The map for this clinic is on www dot chiangmaiplaces dot com If you have time until 9a.m. then you can also go to our favourite vet clinic. They speak excellent English. Ban Mha Ka Maew Animal Hospital on Mahidol Road There website is: www dot banmhakamaew dot com Don't give cow milk, better try water only for the moment until you find the goad milk. Cans are sold in every pet food shop. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hope you got the kitten to Dr. Nook just off Chang Klan Rd. by the Shangri La hotel. That's who we use for our cats. She's open from 8 am to 8 pm. Often tom cats will kill a littler of newborn kittens so that the mother cat will go in heat again more quickly. Sounds like that may have been what was happening.

Gonzo the Face Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 ....after all has been said and done......let me just say......its nice to know that there are people out there like you.... The newborn may have been insignificant to all too many, but life , I'm sure , is most important to the kitten. Quietly you've got to have a warm fuzzy feeling inside..... As is said......"Good on ya " 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sbaker8688 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys - got the kitten all taken care of. He's going to be okay. Where did you finish up going? After I made my initial post I did a lot of google searching and found a clinic that claimed to be 24 hour (Purpoon Animal Hospital which someone recommended above). I didn't believe it but called anyway and low and behold someone answered. I ended up taking the kitten in at 3am - this is before I even received any answers to my post. At any rate they took are of it well. A female technician there was particularly good at feeding the kitten. I must say though, the stupid "head guy" or whoever he was dropped the kitten on the floor. ....after all has been said and done......let me just say......its nice to know that there are people out there like you.... The newborn may have been insignificant to all too many, but life , I'm sure , is most important to the kitten. Quietly you've got to have a warm fuzzy feeling inside..... As is said......"Good on ya " Glad to know there is someone else out there who feels the same way I do. Last year I was walking along the street in Bangkok and came across a 2 week old kitten who had fallen down from the rooftop above (a mama cat had kittens on top of the shop house). Every single Thai just stepped over it and kept going. I picked it up and took it home of course, and raised it to adulthood. Later the same year I came across an adult cat laying in the gutter with blood, mucous, pus, and everything else coming out of whatever orifice there was. The thing was comatose. I will stop describing right here - you don't want to know, and I don't want to recall. Again, every Thai just stepping right over it without a care in the world. I honestly thought there was no way the thing could ever recover, but I picked it up anyway and jumped into a taxi and told him to take me to the nearest vet. it was a government clinic. The cat was on an IV continuously for like 10 days straight. I'd sit at the clinic all day long, take her home at night with an iv in her, bring her back the next morning, rinse, repeat. There is a happy ending here too - the cat, despite all odds, made a complete recovery. Her name is Snowbell. Anyway, good to know a few others out there care. Wow well done. Really difficult to look after kittens that are so young. It is a full time job. I just finished feeding him, he's sleeping now. Thanks.

elektrified Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) As far as I am concerned, this is the only vet in Chiang Mai: http://banmhakamaew.com/about_en.php In case anyone is interested, Dr. Piyapong (Mor Aaa) left on 01 January of this year. Retired was the word he used. He's now at his Sansai clinic more often than he was before. I'll have to double check but I think he said his hours were going to be 10-12:00 then 15:00-20:00 M-F and also on Saturday. He was the best doctor there and he was there for many years. Without him, we wouldn't see the need to go there again. Edited April 9, 2015 by elektrified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
