    In need of bottle baby advice

    I agree. I contacted the shelter today but have not heard back yet. Maybe I'll stop in tomorrow and see if they will show her to the vet. I just want to see her healthy :/ she seems so happy and is a sweet girl. So it's sad to see her not gaining weight. She did seem to gain about a quarter of...

    In need of bottle baby advice

    Yeah I'll back off for a bit. When I do though, her poop looks more chunky. I haven't given them to her since this morning and her poop is already chunky with what looks like formula chunks. Right now I'm doing 3 parts water to one part KMR instead of the 2 parts water.

    Right now it's a reddish orange color- but that's most likely because of the probiotics I was giving her. They turn her formula a pink color.  Her poops were a green color and had white chunks in it- it looked like formula wasn't being digested. I watered down the KMR a bit because I read that...

    That's good to know... maybe I was just feeding enough to keep her living but not enough to make her grow. Could how often she poop have anything to do with the low weight gain? She poops every couple hours... I like to think that just tells me her organs are working but I'm not sure how normal...

    She is so adorable! I'd agree that she is at the two week mark. I would say I was feeding her about 32-35 a day, by what the shelter recommended. However I typically gave her a bit more because she never acted full when I fed the shelters recommended amount. So I'd guess she has been getting...

    Absolutely- I'll bring her into the shelter vet tomorrow if her stools are still not normal. They wanted me to wait a couple days to see if the probiotics work.

    In need of bottle baby advice

    Oops, I should have proof read my post last night. It was the middle of the night during a feeding so I was still half asleep   I do already use the powdered PetAg formula. I mix what I will need for the day in the morning, which is why I said premixed. I typically mix it, keep it in a...

    In need of bottle baby advice

    One other question- I feed her with a small kitten bottle. Since she is so small, its recommended to only feed her about 6cc for every feeding. I use a syringe to measure this out then put it in her bottle. It's such a small amount that it's hard for her to suckle it. Is it okay to make the KMR...

    In need of bottle baby advice

    I was feeding her ever couple of hours more so during her first week. I could switch back to that if you think it would help. I believe the KMR is petag brand, which I've heard causes constipation but she's having the opposite troubles 128580 I don't have anyone helping, which is why I started...

    Help Cat vomited several times and had diarrhea

    You could try some probiotics. I use FortiFlora by Purina Pro Plan. It helps with diarrhea. Good luck! I hope he feels better soon.

    In need of bottle baby advice

    Hello! I'm currently fostering a singleton bottle baby. She was dropped off at my local shelter as a stray. They estimated that she was about a week old. I've had her for a week now, and as my first bottle baby I'm full of wonders. Her name is Finley. She just recently opened her eyes a few...
