pedialyte is on its way for the little one! Middle kitten (4.0 oz) ate double the minimum!

Hooray for middle kitten! How much did the big black one eat?

And did you get more into the runt?

Glad you've got pedialyte on the way. Can someone stop at a vet office for a small syringe?

Let me know how it went. I'm worried about him!
okay so he did spit a little out (probally around 1/2 ml all together) but I got most of it in I believe plus with what I did earlier I believe he at least got two ml (by the end he was kind of swallowing)

so I am supposed to give him a couple of drops of pedialyte between feedings so what like every 30 mins or more often?

I would until all 3 of them have clear pee.

Who drank from the bottle and who got the syringe?

okay so the black and white one drank from the bottle (he still hasn't pooped) and then the big black one drank half from bottle and half from dropper and then the runt drank from the long nipple. I put a very small hole in it so when I squeezed it lets out 1 drop at a time and since its long and skinny it goes farther in his mouth after he finished eating we went to go poop him and he pooped all of that black poop out first and then he started pooping soft yellowish poop. That is a good sign right?

Yes, the soft yellowish poop is good.

Let's give the black and white kitten until his next poop. It should firm up.

So far, so good! [emoji]128077[/emoji]

okay so since the runt pooped yellowish poop does that mean he is on his way to being fully hydrated ?

okay and here's a question about Winnie. I'm sure it's not a big deal, just curious he is already 10 days old and his eyes haven't even begun to open. By this time they're eyes are usually opening. Right?
