I found a starving kitten last summer and forgot to write what saved his life. 50/50 mix ACV/Water mixed in a shot glass. I soaked a paper towel in it and applied this to the back of the kitten's neck.
When I found this kitten behind my shed crying at the top of his lungs I immediately brought him water and some fancy feast gravy. The kitten of course ate a little of the fancy feast and drank a little water. He was only maybe 6 or 7 weeks old. He had the runs after that and pee'd a few times and he refused to eat anything after that first time and he stopped pooping and peeing.
He was on a waiting list at a shelter that my best friend worked at. On the 3rd night, he was at death's door. His eyes were open, but he wasn't moving and was as limp as a dishrag. He was staring off and I was about to lose him. That's when I looked up what to do on Earth Clinic.
After I applied the 50/50 mix to his neck, I put him in a towel lined box with a towel over the top of him and a heating blanket on the lowest setting. About an hour later I smelled poo. I looked in the box and he had passed a little something, but was still lifeless. I cleaned it up (which wasn't much, but very stinky) and lay him back down. About 1 1/2 hours after that he passed a mass/clump and cried out. I was amazed! I thought this kitten was done for sure, but thankfully the ACV/Water mixture was working to move whatever was blocking his intestines or colon. I cleaned up the box again and lay him back down. So this began about 9 pm and by 6 am he was 100% better. He ate normal kitten food after that and was well. He was adopted at the shelter after being in foster til he got big enough to be neutered.
I hope this story helps someone else should they ever be in the same situation with a beloved pet.
