Let me preface by saying: he was an orphan, yes I'm using KMR (with colostrum) and yes he has seen a vet and will do so again this coming week. I've had him since he was LESS than 24 hours old. Also, his name is Rugbee, because he looks like a carpet (pale tan/cream colored).
1st question: Could lack of nutrition cause him to be more wobbly?
Rugbee eats well, he's energetic and vocal (the normal kind), and he pees and poops well. Maybe it is just my anxiety but he seems to be a little more unsteady/wobbly, especially in his neck/head area. Is this normal? I've done a lot of research on the amounts of KMR every 2 hours, and I follow that. He otherwise seems healthy aside from a bout of constipation that lead to an irritated bum. I was instructed to dilute the formula and also add some Pedialyte here and there.
I just want to hear some opinions on this, as I am horribly anxious all the time about how he is, and how his health is. He purrs and after a feeding likes to snuggle under my chin.
2nd question: he sometimes is very aggressive with the nipple on the bottle, biting and kind of whining which honestly is new because he usually never did that - does this mean he is hungry and I need to feed him more each feeding?
3rd question: Due to him having been constipated, what can I apply to his sore bum? I see differing things about Neosporin.
I don't have any photos on my computer, but I can try to add them later.
