Question
found a kitten along the road, brought it home and it ate dog food, now she has diarrhea don't have money for vet, what can I do for her?
Becky -
You should have your new kitten examined by a veterinary professional. If she has diarrhea she could become dehydrated and that dehydration can lead to other problems. The best thing for you to do for her is to take her to a doctor so she can be treated.
If finances are a problem, perhaps you should consider finding a home for the kitty. A new pet can place a strain on one's finances and finding a home for your kitten can help ease the financial strain.
