Well, mom and kittens seem to be doing well! Still can't figure out where she was all night. I think the kittens nursed for 4 straight hours this morning!!
Mama's back! I have no idea what she was doing all night. Very unlike her to be away from them like that. Hopefully everything will be ok now! Thanks so much for all the advice!
Nope, not complete bath! Just warm cloth around their face to clean them up and another for their bum! Wow, I thought my babies were high maintenance 128521 going to try and get a couple hours of sleep now before the next feedings! Really hope the foster mom works out for them 128533
I think I'm doing everything ok so far. Just added the sock of rice to their kennel. They felt pretty warm. How much should they potty? Couldn't believe how much they went #1! (All over me!)
I have them flat (like they are bellied up to mom eating) and I'm using a medicine dropper from my baby ibuprofen. I found a shelter that had just found a stray that had a dead kitten and they think she still has milk so we are going to try to unite them in the morning! Fingers crossed! I think...
Here's what I've done so far.... I made a little concoction the best I could from that website you gave me. (Thanks) and wiped their bums (something I never thought I'd be doing!) Did not think a kitten could go potty that much! I "gave them a bath" and they seemed to be somewhat receptive to...
The only thing I'm missing is gelatin. Would it still work? If they need to be bottle fed, how do I go about finding someone who would take them? We aren't home enough to keep up with their feelings.
Ok. So she has been gone AT LEAST 4 hours now. It's starting to get dark and will get cold soon. I want to bring them into our heated garage if she's not coming back, but don't want them to be missing if she comes back. Advise please!!
