Ollie is now 12 days old and has been doing great. Eating well, eyes started to open, putting on 1/2 oz. a day, and learning to groom after meals. His last bowel movement was Sunday morning. I know they don't go everyday, but now we are on day 3. Is this normal ? I have been using cottonballs to stimulate him. He pees alot, but no poop. I am getting concerned. Any advise?

I am not a kitten expert but my first thought is ...
call your vet and ask about this. That little sweetie might need to be seen right away to rule out anything serious.
There is little room for error with young kittens.

Maybe other members will have some ideas for you, but no matter what, I would call my vet.
Here are some poo vibes for little Ollie.

I took him to the vet and they got him to poop. He was a little constipated. I feel so relieved and I am sure he does too
. Thanks for responding.

I am glad that Ollie is alright.


Did your vet give you a reason way Ollie was so constipated and what you might do to avoid the problem in the future?

I need to stimulate him until he goes. He is a little fussy and meowing alot ( so I would feel bad and stop) when stimulated and the vet told me it is because he really does not know the feeling of pushing to poo. So I will have to get through it because he needs to poo everyday.
Thanks again!

You are taking good care of your sweetie.
Sending poo on his own vibes.
