We have a 2 week old kitten that was not excepted from hi smother at birth, so we took him in.  He pooped a lot on Thursday, but he didn't go yesterday or today.  I have already used a thermometer and petroleum jelly up his bum for stimulation, the warm paper towel method, messaging his belly, and rubbing his bum with a paper towel covered in petroleum jelly.  He still won't go.  What other methods can I do?

I wouldnt recomment the thermometer method. I hope he didnt got hurt.

Some forumites uses with good measures,  setting the back half of kitten in half warm running water, say 40-42 degrees Celsius, a trifle more than cats body temp.

. The water stream doing the stimulsu. and cleansing at the same time.

You must of course dry up the kitten carefully.

Good luck!
