    Mom cries out in pain when nursing

    Please remember I'm in a very remote area. Local vet is an hour away and appointment only. They also didn't open until 9, so when I posted it at 6 I still had 3 hours before I could call the vet let alone get to the vet.

    Mom cries out in pain when nursing

    I don't have any goat milk. I just read that most likely its the Hartz that is making the kitten sick! I've been feeding it to him for a few days now and Mom has been getting it for over a week. Can I try a little bit of powdered milk with the egg, butter, and salt? He is eating on his own so...

    Mom cries out in pain when nursing

    Today Tigra has started to cry out in pain when the babies nurse. I checked her and her nipples all feel normal. Not too hot or too swollen. She didn't cry when I touched them. Yes, I know I'm about 1000% times gentler than the babies are. She only nurses for 2 to 3 minutes straight. If I lay...

    Mom was having a really hard time producing milk. 5 days or so ago I started giving her KRM, yogurt, cheese and 2% milk. Her nipples are now big and full of milk. She was almost completely dried up before.

    Last night Tigra hid her kittens. I have a small one bedroom apartment. I have spent the last 2 hours looking for them. I can't find them anywheres. She has been pacing back and forth for the last few hours, very anxious. I'm not sure why she moved them or where they are. :(

    She has the two little ones separated from the two big ones. She is feeding the little ones and I haven't seen her feed the big ones. I don't have any kitten milk so I'm going to give her about 20 more minutes and then I'll try coaxing her until feeding them.

    I finally got some sleep. I woke up and she was feeding one of the kittens separately. I wathed and she then went back and nursed the rest. Why is she doing this?

    Urgent! Please help!

    I am exhausted! She decided that she is only going to nurse ONE of the kittens. I have to lay down with her and pet her, only then will she nurse all of them. The kittens seem to push and shove, fighting over nipples. Is that normal? I just wanted to clarify that human food is not her diet. She...

    She went ahead and moved the two big ones again. She keeps stuffing them under my recliner chair. I took them out again and put them back with the two smaller kittens. I also made all the other pets leave my bedroom. She's laying down and nursing them again. So we'll see what happens. What a night!

    I'm worried that she's not producing enough milk. The two that she did NOT move ate twice as long as the two that she moved. The two that she moved ate and quickly fell asleep. The two little ones are still eating. It's been at least 20 minutes. I did notice some fighting over nipples. There's...

    Tigra keeps seperating two biggest kittens and moving them to a different location. I'm not sure what to do. I have picked them up and put them with the two little kittens 3 times now. This is after leaving her alone for an hour and hoping that she was moving all of them. I'm not sure what to...
