    Weaning kitten doesnt want wet food

    We're from Manila, PH and dextrose powder is readily available in vet clinics over here, and we dont really need prescription for that so I keep some just so I have something to give my pets when they need it. Unfortunately, we don't have unflavored pedialyte here! So im sticking to this to keep...

    Weaning kitten doesnt want wet food

    Appreciate any thoughts anyone might have. Started about 6 days ago, my kitten, Ellie suddenly had watery diarrhea. They are three in the litter, and the other two experienced it also, but theirs was just once/twice and then it's gone. Ellie's is still going as of now, and it's been almost a...

    Weaning kitten doesnt want wet food

    Thank you all for your replies! The baby finally ate some bits of chicken yesterday, and I think she actually enjoys it. Doesnt like kitten wet food though, but I think we can make it work. on the other hand, one of them is experiencing some wet poop/vomiting episodes. They dont have access...

    Weaning kitten doesnt want wet food

    Hello. My cat gave birth to her babies a month ago, and now the kittens are at the weaning stage. Two of the kittens are already eating wetfood, however the other one seems to not want to do anything with it. She just wants her mama's milk. Is there anything I can do to help? I tried offering...

    Spaying & constipation

    Now this might sound stupid but, is it true that spaying a cat might lead to constipation? I had this weird notion embedded in my mind when I had a friend in the past who said that spaying a cat can lead to it having constipation - maybe due to the weight gain that comes with it I guess? I...

    8 month old pregnant kitten (really small!)/Vomiting

    Hi. We're done with the vet - they ran xrays and blood tests and everything came back normal, except for a bit of an elevation in her WBC, which could be due to the gastro irritation. She's given antacids to relieve the stomach, and an antibiotic. She's improving this morning, and ate a little...

    8 month old pregnant kitten (really small!)/Vomiting

    Thanks. I left some of the other food that she's used to, but hasnt touched it yet. It has been about 8 hours. She threw up more, and noticed that there are streaks of blood in the vomit. I am very worried because this hasnt happened before. It's 5 am and I will be bringing her to the vet first...

    8 month old pregnant kitten (really small!)/Vomiting

    Hello. My mom cat is currently vomiting, multiple times in a span of an hour. She's currently vomiting liquid that looks like the color of her wet food and dry food. Yesterday evening I switched her dry food - from Royal Canin mother and baby cat to royal canin kitten, same brand. She was fine...

    8 month old pregnant kitten (really small!)/Vomiting

    I managed to give him about 1.5ml of formula but it took about 30 mins because I gave it to him drop per drop. He's sleeping now and im hoping once he wakes up he has more energy to suckle on mom. Mom seems to have more milk now, just by observing the other 3

    8 month old pregnant kitten (really small!)/Vomiting

    The 3 kittens are ok with it I guess, just need to get them used to it. The ginger one however doesnt want to, he keeps squirming. When he's nursing on mama he also falls asleep then when i weigh him after feeding, it just goes up a gram sometimes retains the same. ill let him rest then would...

    8 month old pregnant kitten (really small!)/Vomiting

    The kittens are 9 days old today. However I noticed mom's teats arent full like the past days. How long does it usually take for milk to replenish in her system? I got some KMR and now trying to handrear the kittens, because it looks like they cant get ahold of the milk out of mama...

    8 month old pregnant kitten (really small!)/Vomiting

    I feel like im not doing the glycerin thing correctly, it keeps falling off. Sorry, i didnt see your comment earlier, Sarthur2! But yeah the glycerin I used was super tiny, thats why I think it keeps falling off. I'm nervous about it as well so Ill just keep it as last resort for now i have a...

    8 month old pregnant kitten (really small!)/Vomiting

    Thanks for all the advice. I got him alone with mom without caging, just right after the other three finished nursing. meanwhile i also bought some glycerin sticks that I will be using later on the baby. Hope that works!! Does it work instantly on a kitten?

    8 month old pregnant kitten (really small!)/Vomiting

    Thanks for the tips. I'll get some glycerin cone and try that. as for the undisturbed feeding, is it safe for me to cage mom and him just for a short while, while he is nursing? The thing is, i think he hasnt even has his fair share yet but mama gets out of the box after 20 mins or so of feeding.

    8 month old pregnant kitten (really small!)/Vomiting

    He's currently doing good now, however just gains about 5-8grams per day. I noticed that mama cat isn't stimulating them long enough to poop, and so I tried to stimulate him. I think he's constipated. I saw this little poop that's hardened already and he was able to expel just a little of it -...

    8 month old pregnant kitten (really small!)/Vomiting

    I got a weighing scale and he's at 85.5g yesterday. Today he's about 93-94g. How often do I have to weigh him, every feeding? I see him latching good, and when he sleeps his belly is full. The only thing though is sometimes he gets bullied by his littermates out of a nipple, but overall his...

    8 month old pregnant kitten (really small!)/Vomiting

    Today I noticed that one of them is tiny (the ginger one) and has a nipple preference. He usually goes on the underside of his mom, and I dont know why. Any ideas?? Im also kind of worried about his size compared to his littermates. I tried to syringe feed him tho but he didnt want to suckle on...
