My rescued kitten has weak legs and won't eat. What should I do?

Question

Hello! Today I found a small kitten. It has been stucked in a very narrow place for two days. It was shocked and scared. It calmed down but it can't walk properly. Its back legs are so weak. It is crawling. Also, it doesn't eat and always sleeping and lethargic. I gave it milk with a syringe. What can I do for it? And what should I feed it?

You can try canned food and you may have to place it in his mouth for him to figure out what it is. If he is too young for that you can syringe kitten milk. Then it walking can be a sign of malnutrition and dehydration or from an injury. Make sure it stays warm and if it does not eat your vet gave give it fluids to help
