advice needed

a cat i am fostering had kittens last saturday they all gained weight well as there is only 3 of them but now one of them hasnt put weight on for 3 days now is this normal as i am getting a bit worried and thinking maybe i should give him some extra feeds myself any advice on this would really help thanks

As a foster mom who just lost a kitten....I would supplement the kitten's feeding if it doesn't seem to be gaining weight.

Is baby nursing along with all of the others? Has Mom in any way tried to push him aside and not care for him?

yes he is feeding with the others she isnt pushing him away atall

So long as baby is nursing well (that is to say, falling asleep on the nipple or moving off when he is full) then I don't think it is time to worry just yet. Some kittens just seem to grow and develop a little slower than the others in their litter.

Now, if you notice that baby hasn't gained weight by tomorrow at the latest - or if you notice anything else out of the ordinary such as lethargy, not nursing, limp or chilled - then go on in to your vet to have this kitten looked at.

i weighed the kittens this morning i do it every two days although the one that hasnt been gaining i do every day he still hasnt put any weight on and now one of the others hasnt gained any since i last weighed him so just to be on the safe side there off to the vets at 12.30
