Hi all,
So foster Kiara and her 4 kittens seem to be doing fairly well.
The babies are now 10 days old and seem to be nursing well and thriving. They are LOUD buggers though, and fight like crazy over nipples.
The one problem we seem to be having is that not only has Kiara stopped grooming herself, she also isn't doing very well with grooming the kittens. They are all greasy looking and very stinky. I've been wiping them down with a warm cloth, as well as pet wipes, but they don't seem to be doing the trick. Wondering what your opinions would be if I were to bathe them all? Not too worried about Kiara, but would bathing 10 day old babies be ok? I do have gentle, pet specific shampoo.
