The shelter I am working with would prefer I not tube the kittens I am fostering so I am bottle feeding them. There are 3, the first two start suckling really quickly and strongly and then stop before the entire 3 ccs is consumed. The third wiggles and fights to get away and I barely get any kmr...

Havent been able to get a full 4 cc's done any of them yet. Was worried because even when I was stimulating them there was no solid elimination. Finally 2 of the 3 eliminated but the stool was hard as rocks and looked like it was tinged with blood. The third just strained and strained but...

Yep, I know about the website. But thanks for the link.

Thanks Kalie. I'll post a picture later. 2 grays and one black. The two grays cry a lot. LOL the black eats and then knocks right out.

Hey guys! I havent been on the board in for ever! But I'm back! I volunteer at my local humane society and also foster. I got 3 babies in today. Unfortunately, we don't know the age (I'm thinking less than 4 days old because umbilical cord is attached.) or if they were able to get colostrum from...

Elder is 4 years old. About 12lbs. Vet says weight is okay. He is a solid boy. Younger will be 2 in June. About 7lbs. Younger doesn't eat as much as Elder. When I eat, they eat. But only bits and peices. Thanks for the info. I'm wondering how they would react to wet food. I might try a can...

I really should know this but how much should a cat be fed per day. My oldest loves to eat. Seriously. It's like a hobby of his and me being the horrible parent I am, if he cries for food I feed him. So the other day something made me look at the feeding directions on the cat food bag and it...

Awwwe! They are too cute!

My name is Emma. I was a member under a different user name. Can't remember the user name for the life of me, so I reregistered. I have two furr'uns. (Furry lil'uns) Toussaint who will be 4 years old at the end of August and Toussaint's Nemesis (aka Neme Nemertoads) who turned a year on June 24th.

Hey all. I belonged to The Cat Site a while back under a different user name I can't seem to remember. Yes, I am slightly embarrassed about that. I always come back here when I need good advice. And boy do I need advice right now. I travel quite a bit. I leave the Boys home by themselves...

Thanks I really appreciate the info you have provided. I am going to try to get Bease in tomorrow.

Super big hugs for you and Jake! I make sure to keep you both in my prayers.

She was spayed before her first heat, or that is at least what the vet told me. There was a question as to whether she was or wasnt in heat. But the vet after the spay told me she wasnt. I called the vet during my break and the person I spoke to would not discuss it with me over the phone...

For those of you who know me, know when it comes to Tousse and Bease I can be the biggest hypochondriac. I just wanted to get feedback before I made what may be an unnecessary vet appointment. Bease had her two week check up & her stitches were removed. The vet kinda probed, looking for...

I dont think so either. I want freebies too!
