2 Day old kitten weights advice about anything welcomed!

It sounds good to me. Is there room for the babies to move away from the heat if they get too hot?

 

[muybella]

Yes. I put one pack flat on one end, and the rice pack thing kind of on the side on the opposite end. It's a decent sized basket too for the mountains of laundry my insane children cause me! lol

I received the KMR and syringes. Gave Marshmellow his first feeding of 3 ml's beginning at 2:30. After each ml I burped, and after all 3 I wiped bum. Nothing came out though. Took about 25 minutes to do the feeding. I gave like 0.0.25 ml at a time and he would either just root, climb or meow in between each one. He did well lapping it up. At the end he was really snuggling and meowing for mum so I gave him back. I'm really hoping this helps!

Thanks for all of the advice! Day five weigh in around 9:30/10 pm tonight. 

Oh, and Bella let them stay in the basket bed all night until this morning at around 6 am when she decided to go back under the bed. ah well. 

 

[Sarthur2]

So she took them all back under the bed with her?

I hope you can reach Marshmellow for his feedings every three hours.

I'm anxious to see his weight gain tonight. So glad you're able to supplement now. If you need him to be still during the feedings you can try wrapping him in a towel like a burrito.

You did warm the milk a bit, right?

 

[muybella]

I pulled the bed out from the wall slightly so I can reach better. I'm very interested to see the weights too!

Yes, I warmed it and tested it on my skin. He did very well

 

[Sarthur2]

Awesome!

Do the others seem to be okay? No crying?

 

[muybella]

Yes the others seem well. Only a few cries but I think it's because they were getting ready to nurse.

Finished feeding number 2... He is sooooo active and squirmy

 

[Sarthur2]

That's a good sign .

How much did he drink?

 

[muybella]

3 ml the first feeding and 2 my the second feeding. He was really vocal too
