Hi all
my partner's cat had a litter of kittens 2 weeks ago - she gave birth to 5 precious little ones, sadly all but one passed away
the one that survived was the largest of them all and she is growing and developing quite nicely, but I am worried that she will not survive. She is still drinking her mother's milk, and is gaining weight appropriately.
since i am new to the world of soon becoming a cat owner I have to learn a lot of things, so excuse my ignorance if i ask silly questions
is there a baby kitten formula that i can purchase for the kitten? Also can we use any type of flea deterent for the kitten as the mother cat has not been treated because she is lactating and the chemical may harm the kitten?
are there any signs i should be looking for because the 4 little ones that didnt survive didnt really drink much milk from the mother and i am thinking that there might be something wrong with the other's milk?
your thoughts and suggestions would be much appreciated
