YAY, it is GOOD news They are both doing WONDERFUL!! They eat a ton at each meal (drinking KMR) and peeing AND pooping on their own everyday!! They have been pooping on their own for the last 2 days now. It is formed, but still soft, so I am assuming a very normal kitty poo I have raised...
Sounds like you are doing a wonderful job taking care of the kittens How many kittens are there?? We just took in 2 4wk old kittens on Tuesday and they are such a joy to have around!!
The only other thing the vet told me was to use a wet, warm cottonball and rub on the abdomen and anal areas to try to stimulate the kittens. I will call him again tomorrow and see what he would like me to do next.
That kitten rescue website is wonderful!! It has such great...
They are both peeing on their own, and the male started pooping on his own as well Friday evening. It isn't really a formed poo, more of like a newborn poo. It is bright yellow and real soft/waterish. It honestly reminds me of the same poo my kids had as newborns. The females hasn't pooped...
Hello!! My name is Theresa and I am from southern Wisconsin. We just took in two orpahned kittens, Teygan Rose and Fred Bear. Their momma was hit by a car and the owner wasn't able to care for the kittens so she contacted us. We went the next day to pick up the kittys and now they are our...

Their story...

Okay, I am going to try posting a few pictures of Teygan and Fred Bear. I am hoping it might help you give me a better idea of how old they are, along with their weights. I am using a new scale now, so I have their weight in ounces.
Teygan is 9 1/2 ounces
Fred Bear is 13 3/8 ounces.

Thanks everyone!! Yes, they are orphaned and that is why we ended up with them. I am assuming they are alot younger then what I was told, and not malnurished, because they are plump little kittys Both drank from the bowl this morning, and the male seems to be going pee on his own quite...
UPDATE:
I just weighed the kittens and they are as follows:
Fred Bear: 0.84/lb
Teygan: 0.56/lb.
Not even being 1 pound yet seems soo small to me, but maybe it is because I am used to lab pups. They normally weigh more then that at birth.
For some reason that website won't open up for me??
THANK YOU soo much for your advice. Trust me, ANY help is definetely appreciated
My MIL and FIL have a very touchy scale, so I will borrow that from them and weigh the kittens every day. Are their ideal weights for their age/size?? How many times a day am I suppose to weigh them?? From one...
Hello. My family and I just took in 2 4wk old kittens on Tuesday and I have a few questions. There is a male and female (brother and sister) and the male is a little bigger then the female. He also seems to be a bit more advanceed when it comes to eating. He will drink about 1 (sometimes 2)...
