Hi, Im really worried about one of my 2.5 week old foster kittens. Momma's been doing great with them and everyone has been consistently gaining well, but after 2 weeks I stopped weighing them every day. I just checked and while most have gained fairly well, one is down 9 grams since three days ago! I'll start supplementing, but I have a bad feeling about this. How much should I supplement and how often given that momma cat is in the picture, nursing, and seems to have a good milk supply? Does the kitten need to go to the vet? Could it be worms or something? Momma was found as a very pregnant stray and has shown no obvious signs of worms, although she is still very thin and I suppose could have contracted them before I found her. I was told to give her a dewormer just in case once the kittens were weaned.
