Okay just checking really! He is worth it so it is okay. I just thought since he was sleeping so good and at the 2 week mark it might be alright. I am feeding every 4 hours now since I did take him to the vet for a check and he said that seems fine. So that ends up only once a night anyway. I...

Can I let the kitten sleep through the night now? He will be 2 weeks old Sunday. I am having to wake him up in the middle of the night to feed and I feel like he would sleep through. So would it be okay to let him sleep?

Thanks @StefanZ. And thank you @kntrygrl256 I am trying so very hard. I have fell in love with the little guy from the start. I told my kids not to get attached because I was afraid of what would happen but it's hard not to love him. Especially now that he's starting to have personality and play...

Yes I do believe the father is possibly mine. I do need to have him neutered. However, the mother could either be a stray or a neighbor cat. I can't exactly get a neighbor's cat fixed. lol And don't really have the money to fix all the strays. I have just recently taken in a stray from the local...

There are several strayed/feral animals around. We live in the country on back roads.

I never even saw his mother. He was drowning when I found him. I don't own a female.

I have him switched over to the KMR by Petag. He changed over fine. He has been going potty today, little by little. It just still takes some work. Maybe his little belly will get worked out in a couple days and it won't be so hard on us both. He seemed to be a little calmer the last time, but I...

Out the door to get it now! Lol Thanks guys! I'll keep you updated.

You guys are so great! I took him in there & started him under the water. He started going a bit, but still was being slow about it. I kept at it though. Finally, I started rubbing up his tail & under his belly, around his genitals & giving a little tap. It was like the flood gates opened. I...

Should I wait til his next feeding & stimulate to see if it helps or try before then?

Finally! The pieces kept melting or breaking, but I finally got one the perfect size & it went. Yeah I always feed on his belly. Now what?

I had a hard time getting it to go. It kept breaking with him fighting. And he is so tiny. Maybe if I oil his bottom first & try it. He hates being on his back so I might can get my son to hold him in a towel upright and try again. His bottom is poochy too so that makes me think he is...

Just tried the suppository. It was awful trying to get it in. He fought and cried and I know it was small enough. It was smaller than his rectum. But he wasn't having it and I felt like it was making his bottom worse. I started crying. So I stopped. I did add vegetable oil to his bottle though...

I definitely will update!! Thank you so much for all the help! You have been so AMAZING!!!

I have been doing every 3-4 hrs.

Oh good idea about the suppositories. I think I have some here for my kids. He usually takes about 20 mL a feeding. I haven't got a small enough scale to weigh him yet. Wonder if they sell them at Petco.

I actually have a rice heating pad that we use for our lower backs so I have given it to him.  He is in a small cat carrier so I put ​the heating pad (heated for 1 min. about every 3 hrs.) at the front and then he has the back part to get off from it. Sometimes he acts constipated but he poops...

I meant he doesn't want to go poop. Sorry. Yes I have been doing the water trick but he still cries the whole time. He has never liked being stimulated to potty. It just seems worse now. I guess maybe because his bottom is sore but it does look better some this morning. Thanks to you guys...

I am noticing now that he almost acts like he does want to go poop. He throws a fit, worse than normal when I make him go and seems like he is almost holding it back. It is just a small bit that comes out, not a full bowel movement like he was doing the first few days. Maybe I am just...

I actually found they have the KMR by PetAg at a couple of stores that are about an hour away, but I will be going tomorrow & getting him some. Do I just switch him over or is there a certain way to do it so that it doesn't hurt his little belly?
