I have been feeding them right before bed, problem is...I go to bed at 7:30 lol. I'll have to just give them more at their last feeding I guess. I was about to sew a bottle nipple into a blanket. :) Thanks!

After finally sitting down and looking at dates, I'm officially saying the girls are 8.5 weeks old. :) They are doing great...driving me nuts just like kittens should. :) Amber is still wanting to suckle all the time - which I know is because of not having mom - is there anything I can offer her...

Vet appointment went well. Kittens are 6 to 7 weeks old and very healthy. Doc said no worming yet, let's leave their diet be for 2 weeks and see how their stool is. After that we'll talk about worming.

If I could afford it, I would absolutely go back to the original formula. :)

No worries...sorry, that probably came across rude - totally not intentional. Thanks! I will try that and see if he will take it.

You must have missed the conversation about getting the weaning formula because it was more affordable. That's what started the diarrhea the first time.

Well, the diarrhea is back, but at least now I know why. Gues I'll have to suck it up and get the original wet food. Amber(James) is having a really hard time not having a bottle, to the point she's attempting to nurse on his sister's butt. I thought at first he was cleaning her, but oh no, he...

Gone.

That's the idea! I got 2 cans of the authority brand and 3 cans of the friskies brand, they are the same flavor- I've been giving them 1 tablespoon of the authority, 1/2 teaspoon of the friskies, and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin since yesterday afternoon.  They are tolerating it well so far. I plan on...

I would assume - the girl at PetSmart recommended it.

That's just the name of the Authority wet food :) No formula!! I just don't want to throw them back into diarrhea land if I change the brand of wet food. I'll probably just suck it up and get the Authority! :)

With this 'it's normal for kittens to get diarrhea' thing - is that even with changing brands of food? The wet food that was recommended is about to get real costly due to them eating more and more. I'm using authority kitten formula now - any recommendations for something a little less that...

We have solid poop!!! Woohoo!! I haven't talked about poop this much since my daughter was a baby lol. Vet appt Thursday morning. I'm so curious as to how old they really are. And that I haven't done anything wrong and yet chastised lol.
