Hey,
I posted the other day about Kakashi the white kitten who ended up passing. Well his sister Hatake has been the healthiest since they were brought to me on 5/9.
Little info:
Calico
Weight: 4.7oz
Age: 7-8 days
Umbilical cord fell of 5/13
Eating 3.5mL-5mL every 2-4 hours
In a covered container with heating pad and cooler place with a stuff animal for comfort.
She is very active little girl when awake. She eats pretty good latches sometimes other times she bites nipple. I have miracle nipples/syringes coming today in hopes they work better. I feel pet store ones are just to big for her tiny mouth.
My concern is 2 nights ago she started making this noise during eating and after almost like shes trying to clear her throat. Some times she stops mid feed to do it will have mouth open.
I also noticed today her little nose is slightly runny and that is probably the problem for the mouth noise she cant breath very well while nursing.
Anything I can do aside from vet? Tomorrow Ill be starting to make her KMR with pedialyte as I think she is a little constipated as well.
Anything advice about runny nose? what to watch for?
Also should I use pedialyte from now on every feeding until she is weaned off milk or just temporarily for a few days?
T.I.A
