I cross-posted it for you, you should get replies in your main inbox, I
asked people to reply directly to you. I do know at least a few of them went
away for easter, so it might be later tomorrow before you hear much from
anyone.
Have you tried slippery elm? I've seen that suggested many times in the
past, on several lists.
Make sure he's getting enough fluids too, of course, some Sub-Q fluids
wouldn't hurt if he's that solid, he's probably a bit dried out. How does he do
with a pinch test for dehydration?
Poor baby, any idea what happened to him?
I'm not even sure there's much you can give a baby that young for pain.
Metacam is really strong for such a wee tike, and a Duragestic patch would
probably over dose the poor thing. Have you spoke to the vet about pain
management at all? Can the kitten move around, or walk, at all? If he can move
around, I'd suggest you offer him BOTH a hot pack, AND a ice pack, and let HIM
decide which, if either, makes him feel better. I did that with Bones when she
first broke her back, and she really seemed to opt for the warm pack most of the
time. But don't put him on anything if he can't move off of it on his own free
will.
How is you hit by car cat doing, any breaks there?
