You ought to go and get it looked at.

Poor thing.

You really need to get the poor thing to vet asap, it is not only in delayed shock but could have burns under its fur. Good Luck. X X X :-)

Initially severe burns do not hurt as much as mild burns - which is probably why your kitten was OK on Monday. I hope you acted on the advice given and went immediately to the vet. Any burns from scalding water should be seen immediately and treated as an emergency. I hope your kitten is OK.

I can't understand why you are wasting time sitting on the computer - get the poor creature to the vet IMMEDIATELY before infection sets in on the burned skin.

hi megsy ..how was your kitten?

Hi megsy33. We have not heard about your little kitten since Tuesday. I hope it's okay and that your vets been to see him and all.
Kittens are extremely naughty, just like children. Keep them away from anything that will harm them...like the kitchen, a hot cup of tea, open windows (if you live on a high floor), etc.
Give them a ball of wool or some soft ball to play around it to keep them away from everything else.
Let them play like crazy 'coz once they get a little older, all they do is sleep, eat, drink and very occassionally purr for your attention. : )
