4 day old kittens- Help!

Hello,

I'm helping bottle feed 3 kittens that are about 4 days old. They are all eating well every hour or so.  I've been stimulating them to use their bowls but they are only urinating.  I haven't seen any stool yet.  I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice?? Thanks

Kate

They are supposed to do poo every day, but I had seen forumites where they dont do it...And thrive...  For example in this thread about saved kitten from wild monkeys...  down this page.

- look out this thread, many useful advices there

You may also have to try out some other stimulation variation?

For now I understand you are doing ok, ie you must have done everthing  more than ok as they are still with us and are well.   Tx and congrats!

I will send in a couple of minutes some useful links, you will perhaps have some ideas from there.

Of course, very much will be doubling of the same information. But a little different explaining, or different organizing the stuff, may make a easier understanding in many cases.

The links, first two from our ownn site,

Handrearing:  http://www.thecatsite.com/a/hand-rearing-kittens

http://www.thecatsite.com/a/premature-kittens  this may be useful too, here also about elimination.

A very good site is the done by our veteran forumist Hissy: www.kitten-rescue.com

And two from internet:

Good luck!
