Constipated kitten

The last kitten to do a poo is in the process but can't quite manage it, I helped get a bit out but there is still some there, it looks like he is under pressure.. what can I do to relieve it??

Will I add veggie oil to the KMR solution to prevent this?

Have you stimulated him to go poo? Keep trying with damp cotton wool, and I have no idea about the vegetable oil... waiting for someone more experienced then I am would probably be a good idea!

Yeah I have been stimuating but nothing is happening other than weeing.
He is due for a feed now but I don't want to block him up :S

I read veggie oil helps avoid constipation but I don't know if it is true.. can anyone verify this?

Have you discussed this with your vet? Kittens that are still being stimulated really should be assessed by a professional before administering anything even remotely akin to a laxative or stool softener.

I'll give her a call.. I think I may need to go see her, I am hearing faint coughs from the basket occasionally.. not coughing fits, just single coughs.. but still.. they were with kittens who had cat flu...

btw sorry forgot to mention, he relieved himself about 15 minutes after I posted.. quite a lot lol..
