Dexter is 4 weeks and doing awesomely. However he is not interested in kitten food yet, and mum is happy feeding him, most if the time.
Should I be encouraging him more to eat food or is it OK to wait longer?
Mum had a severe allergy to cat food, dry, so I'm wondering if delaying food...

Touch and go still I'm sure but she's fed a few times since and had a few ml of formula from the dropper. I'm prepared for a long night. What will be will be. But I'm going to give it my best...
So sorry to hear about your kittens xx i can sympathise totally x I was given a pain medication for delilah when she had an illness last year but told to use very sparingly due to side effects. On googling I chose not to use it more than once.
Drew didn't have any pain meds following her spay.
