The runt still doesn't seem to be latching on very well,he looks healthy,just smaller but he was born smaller,he is moving about and crying but he takes so darn long to find a nipple.
I am wondering if she only has a couple of nipples that are producing milk or something. When I go to check on them the kitten is rarely suckling but his tummy is plump and he isn't getting any weaker. Do some kittens just find it hard to latch for a while? Maybe he will get better at it? He is only 2 days old. Is there any specific signs of not eating enough I need to look out for?
