I just got a 7 week old kitten yesterday. I set out a fresh bowl of kitten chow, a small bowl of water, and some canned food. She won't touch any of it. I tried to dip my finger in the canned food and wipe on her mouth hoping she would lick it off and realize it wasn't so bad and eat it. She was meowing to no end this morning, crawling through my hair as if looking for a place to nurse. We went to the pet store and bought a kitten bottle and kitten formula, but she wouldn't drink that, either! I tried to play with her mouth with the bottle hoping she would play back by chewing on the end and getting a bit of milk in her. It worked, but she still didn't get very much to eat. I am worried. She seems healthy.She is playing and sleeping regularly, and she uses the litter box, but she just WON'T EAT!!
any suggestions??
any suggestions??
I also put the food in jar lids. It is easier for kittens to eat out of small jar lids than out of bowls or plates. It is also possible that the bottle you bought, you didn't make the hole big enough for the formula to travel through (that happens often)
