    Kitten weight gain slowing. Mum thirsty?

    Yes they have a mum, and she has done very well. Since posting I think I had a break through with the two who tried other things earlier, but one kitten has still not eaten anything solid. He seems smaller than the other two now (he used to be the biggest).

    Kitten weight gain slowing. Mum thirsty?

    Hi my cat had kittens 10 days ago (this is her second litter, her first was problem free). Up until now their weight gain has been good, averaging 15g a day often higher. But in the last couple of days it's slowing to around 11g, with the runt only gaining 5g since yesterday. In addition, today...
