On my daily walk, this little friend was laying on his dead mother (killed by a car, it was awful doggirl-cry )

It was able to walk a bit around when I came back with a box, it is Sunday tomorrow so all vets or refuges are closed. Any tips? I gave a little bit of water next to it.

Thanks, it weighs 150 grams max, I don't think I can find puppy milk now, I'll try calling around tomorrow a bit. For now I'm keeping it warm and with some water. Good thing is that when I came back for it,it was walking a bit around, didn't see any wounds or apparent parasites.

If it's a lil bean, you'll want something like this: https://www.petag.com/products/esbilac-puppy-milk-replacer-powder . I know that brand in particular is usually safe for wildlife. I'd offer it warmed puppy milk replacement every 2-3 hours from a 1ml syringe, and that 2-3 hours is around the clock. Wet cat food with a high protein content should be tolerable as a mainstay but that's a young adolescent that will need a mixed soft/liquid diet.
