Hi,

Pixie seems a lot better today, is eating more and is in with the kittens a lot more, so I'm thinking she feels a lot better now. I am a bit worried about the kitties weights though, below are there weights from yesterday and then today. Looks like 1 kitty has lost weight, the others have gained but the 2 smallest, only slighly gained. Should I be worried or monitor them throughout the next few days? I don't know how I would be able to tell if her milk is drying up or not. I thought they were supposed to put on 10g a day, thats why I'm slighly concerned. Thanks

280g - 267g
247g - 250g
270g - 284g
245g - 250g

2, 3 and 4 are doing fine.


I would be concerned abt No.1 - 13g is quite a drastic weight loss. How old are they? You may try supplementing no. 1 for a while.

Good luck!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, they were 2 weeks old yesterday. I was surprised about number 1 kitty as he's always been the heaviest and is very well rounded, but I will keep an eye on him and definately if he's weighly less tomorrow i'll supplement. I was trying to find the thread on here which gave the approx weights kittens should be at particular ages but can't find it now!
