So our little stray Poppy has been with us for a couple of months. She was very skinny and pregnant when she arrived. Her babies are now 4 weeks old and she is still feeding them.
We have her on a whiskas dry/wet mix for now and she still eats 4 meals a day (about 200g wet and upto 100g dry per day). She isn't as skinny as she was but she is still slim apart from a bit of a tummy where her milk is. She always has biscuits to graze on too and doesn't scoff those down so we guess she isn't hungry.
It might also be worth mentioning we've kept her in since she turned up and we will do until she's spayed.
Over the last week she's started to pass wind a few times a day, and it smells so bad!! I've read a bit online but still don't know if a vets trip is unecessary, should I just try changing her food first and if so do people recommend wet or dry?
She also only poops once a day or once every two days - is that normal?
Any comments on whether we are feeding her enough and when we should start reducing this down would be appreciated too!
It so difficult because we don't know her very well and we've never had a litter of kittens before!
Thanks
