    Teddy Bear update

    Well I took him to the vet yesterday to be weighed and he weighed in at 1.5 pounds! I was so excited! But for the sad part. My Inlaws where in town last weekend, and fell in love with him. They called and tomorrow I'm meeting them half way(they're coming from Chicago), and they're taking him...

    Anybody else have any idea's on what to feed Teddy Bear?

    I had Teddy Bear 6 weeks Tuesday. I took him to the vet and all looks good. He's too young for testing, so I'll have to wait, but I'm weighing him weekly. He's still on Science Diet Kitten food, and I have mixed the baby cereal with aTablespoon of water. He won't take a bottle anymore, so he's...

    Anybody else have any idea's on what to feed Teddy Bear?

    OK, he's been on Science Diet Kitten wet food, mixed with water and baby oatmeal cereal, in his bottle to try to slow his gut down. The vet recommened that we try not to wean him off the bottle. He's gained alittle weight, but he still has gut noises after he eats, and he started throwing up the...

    Kitten not digesting food properly?

    I lost two more kittens last night. It happened so fast. I checked and cleaned cages, and feed and within an hour and half, they were so far gone. Vet said fading kitten syndrome? So I took the remaining two in for their deworming, and one kitten is off the bottle, eating solid food, but Teddy...

    Is it OK to give kittys milk?

    I know cow'smilk is a no-no, but what about goat, or lactose free, or even soy? I have a adoptive Mom of one of my kittens asking this question. BTW, the 4 kittens are doing great, but still wanting a bottle. They'll eat out of a bowl, so I'm down to feeding once a day on the bottle. Thanks guys...

    Question from a first timer

    These aren't newborns with eyes still closed. They're about 31/2 to 4 weeks old! They opened their eyes about 2 Sundays ago. I have been feeding KMR and now I'm in the process of weening.

    Question from a first timer

    I did tube feed til they had their sucking reflex. We were taught not to treat domestics as wildlife, cause meds differ. One thing might work for wildlife, but could be toxic to domestic. This is my first experience with domestic and I just wanted to do right by the little ones. My meds are...

    Question from a first timer

    He's bleeding on his Pee pee as my kids say. It's stoped this morning, and looks real good. I'm washing after every feeding with a warm soft cloth, and he had a BM so I think he'll be ok. He's the only male I think I have.

    Question from a first timer

    Well a contacted the vet today and he suggested started feeding them soft kitten food. They're about 3 1/2 weeks. Their ears are up, and they are walking on all four and climbing the cage. I tried tonight, and they didn't like it to much. I mixed soft with KMR. He said as long as there is no...

    Question from a first timer

    One more question. A woman told me I could use apple bitter or apple cider vinager, dab just a little on the gentitals, to deter sucking. Is that safe? Wouldn't that upset their tummys?

    Question from a first timer

    The neighbor is not friendly, and I saw the Momma cat and it looks like she has no milk. Since I lost the kitten that was the spitting image of hers, she can deny it. My other problem is the one kitten that they sucked it's head bald. I put it in a different cage and treated it's head, cause...

    Question from a first timer

    Thanks guys! I have been rubbing their tummys, and all I get is urine. No BM. There's some small BM in the cage, but I didn't see from who. LDG, you can use any language around me! I am a former Marine's wife, I have heard it all! I have called around, and all of my vet resources are either...
