    Poopy Question?

    Spike is 3 weeks, and can go #1 all by himself (usually on me ), but pooping is another story... His poop is toothpaste consistency, according to the vet it's the normal color, a greeny-mustardy. But he only goes when stimulated, and it's every other day, and ALOT. The vet didn't sound...

    Spikes not interested in bottle but.....

    Spike is 3 weeks old today, and he is suddently not interested in his bottle, unless it's a chew toy. He DOES seem interested in the canned food his 3 "puppy siblings" have started on. (No, I won't feed Spike THAT! ) He's got teeth 1/2 in, so I was pondering trying a canned kitten food. I...

    Excuse me, I have to rant... Why....and HOW can people be so mean to animals!! My neighbors are famous for putting food out for the stray cats and dogs. No problem, they need food from somewhere. But this afternoon, I was outside, and happened to see the neighbors kicking one of the stray...

    Little Man....

    has diarrhea again. And I am very, VERY frustrated with the vets here. I have learned, through my searching through the yellow pages, that most of the vets in my area take care of horses, cows, and dogs, and apparently have no hope for a premie kitten. I realize that it is slim for a premie...

    Purring Kitten?

    Alright.....what does a kittens purr sound like at about 1 week old? I totally freaked out when I changed little man's bedding, picked him up, snuggled, and he snuggled into me, and started ticking. At first I thought there was fluid in airway, but he doesn't do it when he's moving around, or...

    Update on my little man

    Well, I think I have found the cause for his diarrhea. I opened a new can of KMR yesterday, seemed fine, I started investigating the formula this morning, as formula is all kittens drink, I thought I would go to the source. It was VERY curddley, even after shaking--I usually pour the formula...

    New here, orphan kitten w/diarreah

    Hello, and I applaud you all for what you do for your little ones!! I was recently given a cat that had been obviously abandoned when the owners moved from their home. She was VERY thin, and is about 3/4 the size of an average cat. Last Thursday, she gave birth to one kitten. She was so...
