One of Kiera's kittens isn't doing too well... Loosing weight while the others are gaining. I'll try GayeF's suggestion of separating the other littermates to give him alone time with momma to feed tonight after work.
My question is on bottle feeding. I have tried a syringe, a dropper and a squirt bottle all with no luck. He is not interested in taking any of these things. Can't say I blame him - they are plastic... I tried to get a proper baby bottle but the darn pet store was out. I'll try again on monday at a different store.
So how do I get the little guy to drink the milk I have for him ?? He squirms around and tries to crawl away and swings his head from side to side. He really needs the supplement as he lost 15 grams this morning from yesterday's weight (took him 2 days to put on that weigth !) but I just can't get him to eat. Begging and pleading hasn't worked either...
It's so frustrating knowing that he HAS to eat and he just won't take it.
HELP
