Why isn't my 2-week-old abandoned kitten pooping or opening eyes?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Hii my kitty is of 15 days and he pees alot but does not poop and even his one eye is fully open and another is partially open. He was abandoned by his mother the day he was born and I have him now. My neighbour had his brother too but he died 2 days ago. I am worried. Please help

You may have to stimulate your kitten to poop, but if he isn't pooping, I would have him seen by a vet immediately. You may have to stimulate him to poop, but if he hasn't pooped in al day, that's serious and requires a vet visit. Both his eyes should open fully soon, and the vet can examine him to let you know if he is doing ok. Please take him into a vet now.
