Alright guys, sorry for not replying sooner. I got desperate on Friday when I couldn't find anything as far as goat milk goes on the shelves or in the dairy department of my local grocery store and even got the courage to knock on the door of a local family who raises goats who weren't home...

I didn't find anything in the dairy department of the store but I think on the shelves they might have powdered goat milk. Is that okay to use? 

Hello! I was here last fall looking for any helpful advice on my sister's and her boyfriend's cat and kittens. Although I lost Hiccup, the one surviving kitten and mom were both kept, spayed and neutered and was a happy ending.  We took in a stray a few months ago (my neighbors had moved and...

It just feels like somethings missing now. I'm so used to going in there constantly and checking that he's warm and fed and holding him and now it just feels empty. :/ I felt like I had this huge purpose to save him and now...well, you know. His sibling is doing very well with mom. She stopped...

I'm sad to say that today around 11am, Hiccup passed away. He made it to 161 grams. I'm not positive if it was his breathing that caused his passing however it may have played a part. He was 2 hours and 45 minutes shy of being 17 days old. He put up a hell of a fight and I'm deeply saddened by...

I feed him again in the next half hour so I can check what his weight is at then but he gained 6 grams from yesterday. Do you think he's gaining enough at this rate?

Alrighty, will do. I'll pick some up today. Yes, that's correct. So 4.5ml at least every 3 hours, I'll keep to it. He's up to 158 grams :) right now it's slow but steady gaining. Thanks for the info on weaning! I wasn't sure about when or if mom pretty much does it on her own or not. And...

I set up the bumpers and took out the box. I think she likes it better this way, she hasn't paced around it or tried to get out.  I was worried she'd hurt him, the only thing I've seen her do other then him getting away/being pushed away from her was at 5am this morning right after feeding him...

I'm having major problems with momma. She moved the kittens out of their box in the kennel and Hiccup either scooted away from her or she left him but anyways, he was cold when I picked him up. The other one was warm so I moved them back into the nest box so they could warm up with the heating...

Okay, do you think since he's eating well and is more active that I should switch from syringe to a bottle? Same amount of food and frequency, I'll measure out the formula with the syringe but put it in a bottle for him to nurse from. Is that a better idea now that he's eating more and has more...

Ahh, okay I understand what you mean. Yes, he swallows and eats much better now and is very fiesty. He'll move his front legs and hold the syringe or kind of naw on the tip of the syringe if I'm not squirting some in there fast enough, haha :) I just meant right now I'm feeding him 4.5 to 5ml...

Well, today has been a huge switch up from what we've been used too.  I went ahead and put them in that kennel in a different box (just an open cardboard box inside because I was worried about the babies falling out the sides of the kennel) and covered just the top with a fleece blanket (like a...

Yes, every day. I just changed it a few hours before she moved them. When a cat tries to move babies and grabs them, she can't accidently hurt them while doing that right? She hasn't gone back into the box since I took the kitten out of her mouth the last time. She's laying on the end of my...

Went into my bedroom 45 minutes ago to see riley (mom) coming out from under the bed. Looked inside the nesting box and both babies were gone. She had moved them to the far corner against the wall under my bed. They weren't cold when I found them so I picked them up, checked them over and put...
