Feed the kitten tummy down head up like it is when it feeds at mom.  Do not feed it on it's back.  the formula also needs to be warm.

I told you how much to feed and everything to do in two big posts above.

Let me know how it's going and if you have any questions about feeding.

This kitten will have to be fed every 2 hours THROUGH THE NIGHT too.

Separate the kitten for now and feed it all day. Your cat will not get herpes from it because it will not be near the kitten even in your apartment.

We'll see if the kitten can be put back tonight, but it needs to gain weight anyway and she keeps putting it out.

Just feed the baby. The baby is not going to get your cat's herpes if your cat has nothing to do with it.

That's actually a normal weight for 13 days.

How much do the fat siblings weigh?

Relax. The kitten is not dying.

So there are 3 live kittens.

Has she always been the runt?

Does she look as much smaller than her siblings in real life as she does in the picture?
