hi all,
i just got a new kitten (Quid, also known as Quiddycat) whose mother
abandoned him because she ran out of milk.  he's the runt of the litter.  he
is only about 3 weeks old and we found him a week ago in the middle of the
street.  he's too young to really do anything just yet--sleeps most of the
time, eats, and goes to the bathroom.  he was eating kitten food as soon as
we got him and the vet said that the formula we were mixing with the food
was giving him diarrhea.  she also gave us some medication.  however, he's
really dirty all the time.  he goes to the bathroom, and we have to
constantly clean him because he can't really reach to clean himself.  And
his back legs seem weaker than his front ones.  Is there anything wrong with
him?  His bum is a little weird too, it almost extends out to his tail so he
has a large bald patch there.  I'm worried that something is wrong with his
tail or maybe his a.s his in a different place than it's supposed to be?  I
know this sounds strange but I'm worried about him because he's so tiny.  Is
this normal for a kitten his age?  It's too early for him to get his shots
or anything but I want to make sure he's OK.

Thanks!
