I am feeding the kittens with a tiny syringe that I got when my ferret got sick(don't worry I boiled it to sanitized it). It has the numbers 0.1-1.0 on it, but I'm not sure what they stand for. I took a pic of it next to a quarter so ya'll could see how big it is.

Can someone please tell me what the measurements stand for? That way I will know how much formula I am giving the kittens.



BTW, great news, the kittens are sucking off the syringe! I guess they like it cause it's smaller then the nipple. The black kitten liked it so much that he tried to swallow the whole thing! lol. I had to hold him back.

It's a one milliliter (or 1 cc, same thing) syringe - each .1 is a tenth of a mil. Hope that helps!

Thanks! You wouldn't happen to know how many cc's a 3 day old kitten should eat, would you?

Thanks! I checked out the link and found it. Someone else gave me that link earlier and I totally forgot to check there first.


Since the kittens only weigh 2 ounces then I should give em 16 cc's. I've given them both about 2 so far, so I'm right on schedule.
