If by chance her little bum is still sore, you can put a small amount of desitin OR olive oil on it. Either one would soothe her nicely, I've used both on little kitty bottoms before and had it work wonders. As for gaining weight, if she's on a good quality kitten food (honestly, I would...
I wiiish I stopped at cats. I'm pretty much a small animal rescue. Roughly the end of April some one (some one I THOUGHT was my friend) asked me to take all of her 27 (OMFG) rats. I said I simply didn't have the room, no way. Hooked her up with a local pet store to board them at. A week...
Hmm ... Lets see here .. I came around last summer, when I was randomly thrust into kitty momma hood. Bottle raised 4 baby kittens from birth. That brought my kitty count up from 2 rescues to 6. Bringing the house total tooooo ... 11. Right now we have 12, as we have another bottle raised...
WOW ... sorry ... I guess I completely forgot about you guys. All 4 kittens grew up great! ... Except for Sebastian. She's still under 5 lbs. Even her sister is huge compared to her, and the boys are even BIGGER!! I have some updated pictures of them some where ... but I can't seem to find...
I have successfully raised a few litters of kittens ... and that is definitely not normal.
I would suggest the vet again, but I would also suggest to prepare yourself for the worst. Loosing baby kitties is always very hard. However, there may be some birth defect that you don't know about and...
Haha. Sorry. I've been busy. HOWEVER, I'll make sure to get some pictures of everyone tonight and tomorrow, just to show off how big they've all gotten :-D
Ok, here's some more pictures.
A few weeks ago, I got a picture of the 2 we're keeping. I guess I never posted it.
Sebastian and Mittens!
And, 2 weeks ago I got a couple more good shots of the babies!
Here is the stubborn Beast (last one to finally give up on the bottle) saying "DO NOT...
Ahhhh! Gotchya ... No matter how I try, some times they are just brownish. We've tried baby wipes ... actually baths ... Rub downs with wet towels. He's just rusty some times. IDK why ... the vet didn't seem to think anything of it. He is definately a boy tho. :-P
Side note ... All but...
I have 4 now 4 week old kittens (roughly 4 weeks on ... well ... TODAY!!) I started trying them with meat baby foods about a week ago. They'll drink it out of the bottle if it's mixed with the formula. It can be used to help stretch the formula out a bit.
While I was at work today, we ran...
Yea ... we lost one the first weekend ... *sad face* ... but everyone else is soooo big and strong now ... I know we aren't out of the woods yet ... but we're pretty daaaarned close!!!!!
they'll be roughly 4 weeks old tomorrow!
Sooo ... I have a bunch of pics of these guys now ... but I'll only post a few!
Here's an upside down Caleb ... he likes this!
Here's me and them!
Nappy time!
Iiif the kitten is grooming itself, or is being groomed by another kitty, you can use olive oil on the bumbum ... it's safe if injested, and works well for my 4 ... heh
Sorry ... everyone is doing well ... except ... the first saturday we lost one ...
the 4 left are good ... but lately ones urine has been smelling HORRIBLE ...
as in smelling like an old porta-john does ...
He's acting fine ... with no fever ... eats ... plays ... I've been having...
Ok ... soooo ... we have 4 kittens we've been bottle feeding ... today is their 2 week mark ...
Onnne has some gunky eyes ... and the other has some goooo coming from his genitals ...
Called the vet, and was supposed to take the gooooy boyparts boy in yesterday, but .. I got hurt at work, and...
If you're trying to feed with a bottle, it might work better with a syringe.
We're fostering 4 alllmost 2 week old kittens.
We got them when they were about ... a day old. They couldn't use the bottles, it just wouldn't work. Your vet can give you a few 1ml (they work a lot better than the...
Yea ... they're starting to open they're eyes and everything now!!
Everyone is doing great now ... they're purrring when we touch them and allll that.
And yes, I cover the heating pad well ... I've got a towel on it, and it's wrapped in a couple t shirts too. We're feeding every two hours...
No ... the kittens are only a week old, I just wasn't sure if the kitten glop recipe was supposed to seperate if you froze it and then thawed it ... it's not very gelatine like in my fridge either ... ???
