emergency!?

Please post a picture of the kittens so we can attempt to determine their age and size so we can advise how much to feed.

Okay i put the sock are you sure its safe i feel like its going to over heat them

Did you wrap it in a towel? If wrapped in a towel it will be warm but not too hot for them.

And do they have room to move away if they get too warm?

They have to have a heat source.

Yes i moved them into a bigger box and they love it ima post the video

I dont know how to post it but heres the link or video

How old were they when you got them, and how long have you had them exactly?

When you got them, were their umbilical cord pieces still attached?

I think like 3-4 days because they still had the imbilicol cords they fell off after the first week we had them im not exactly sure what day we got them but i started a schedule on 8-3-15 so probably a day or 2 before i started the schedule maybe let me make sure

So they are close to two weeks old.

Based on what they should weigh at a healthy weight, they need to eat more.

They need to eat 7 mL of KMR every 3 hours.

You must feed them every 3 hours THROUGH THE NIGHT.

This means you have to set a clock and wake up and feed them. They will go downhill quickly without proper feeding, as you have already learned.

You rub the tummy and rub each kitten's bottom with a warm, damp cotton ball or cloth to stimulate pee and poop after each and every feeding.

You need to keep careful track of the time. If you start feeding at say, 9pm, you feed all three and then you start the next feeding at 12, exactly 3 hours later.

Do you think you can do this through the night too?

Great thanks for the clip!

You have another who I'm concerned for, the smaller middle one.

They look to be about 2 weeks old.

We will figure out an approx amt to feed them okay?

Smallest let's say weighs about 5 ounces, close anyway, the bigger one about 5 1/2, and the biggest about 6 ounces. I might be off but going by what I see in the clip.

If you are totally honest and can not feed every 2 hours, then lets go for every 3 hours.

I do think the smaller one needs some extra attention though.

For every ounce a baby weighs, they need about 8 mls of formula per ounce, per day.

If they do not get it, they will not gain weigh every day and eventually will die.

This means, start feeding them every 3 hours on the clock as I said before, not 3 hours from the last time you fed and was finished.

The smallest needs at least 40 mls a day, the middle about 44 mls, and the biggest about 48 mls a day.

Divide the number of times you will feed them. They MUST be fed a minimum of 6 times a day, and that is low, so be sure each eats according to weight.

Smallest should get about 7 mls each feeding, the biggest about 8 mls, you can burp them on your shoulder afterwards.

Then potty. They can not potty by themselves yet.

Another full week and they won't need the heat source unless it's cold in the house, and will be able to go potty on their own.

They're about 13 days and accouple more before i had them

Okay, Catwoman and I are close. Read what I wrote above and tell me if you understand it and if you think you can do it.

Yeah when i just got them i fed them every 3-4 hours and threw the night and recently i let my boyfriend tale over the feeding obviously he sucks so ima set alarms and such i love them so ill force myself to get up

You are going to have to. You cannot depend on anyone but yourself!

There is another weak one who may not make it unless you are very, very vigilant.

If you want them to make it you must keep the rice socks warm and feed exactly as I've explained, along with stimulating for pee and poop.

You are responsible for whether they make it or not. They were not abandoned when your sister found them. The mother cat was probably off looking for food for herself and would have come back.

You need to take this very seriously.

I know i told her that i was so mad!! So i took them in and all the other ones are still eating theyre not acting weird but ima make sure feed them at everytime im supposed too :/

Please do! I would like to see these three have a happy ending.

The three musketeers must go on for the others.
And not to mention they love the little rice sock right after they eat they'll cuddle around it

Just keep re-heating it all the time .

Aww see?! Poor little puddin butts wanna live!!

I only wish you had come here sooner.

I suspect you are young? We know you are trying, but surely don't want to lose anymore. It will get easier in another week or so.
