I have a orphaned 11 day old kitten.She has not been pooping.She's not dehydrated,she's eating well.Quite active,good sleep schedule and is gaining weight.Already had her 1st vet visit and only had a slight eye infection,which they provided drops for and it's cleared up.Im about to try the diluting of hey formula and a canola/soybean mix oil,few drops.My question is HOW MANY FEEDINGS SHOULD I DO THIS AND WHEN SHOULD I SEE RESULTS?

Im not sure if there is any sure rule. But its seldom a change at once, so it will be several feedings as you say.  But once you notice there IS a change, diminish the oil dose, otherwise you will get runny poo instead.

Having her rear end in a running warm water - not hot, it shall feel pleasant, and tapping with your forefinger on the private parts - almost as momma would do with her tongue, is too an useful trick for stimulating.

Be sure she doesnt get chilled off, and dry off thoroughly...
