Coco Help

[Sarthur2]

Nice job!

 

[Thesaint117]

Gona move them out of the box into a bed soon

 

[Sarthur2]

If they are happily settled in the box, and mom has plenty of room, you may want to leave them for now.

Yay! They have surpassed the 100g weight! And all look alot stronger and bigger now .

Should I still monitor the weight gain? And if so for how long

 

[ashade1]

I would continue to monitor for the next couple of weeks! they are just so small that when something happens, it happens quickly! The best way to catch it fast is daily weighing!

 

[StefanZ]

Safest to do it. Now perhaps every second day, esp if they visible are thriwing and adding..
CocoJR is gaining a little too little, siblings gain more.

 

[Thesaint117]

Yea, it is odd since I don't see CocoJR struggling at all .... should I syringe feed her KMR ?

 

[Sarthur2]

Yes, supplement Coco Jr. Overall, the weight gains are fantastic! They aren’t out of the woods yet though. Keep weighing daily.

 

[StefanZ]

Give it one more day, but HER continue to follow up closely.

 

[Thesaint117]

Think I'll keep an eye and monitor them. And supplement the ones not gaining alot daily.

 

[Sarthur2]

For today, that’s just Coco Jr.

 

[Thesaint117]

Yup

Was not able to supplement either of them yesterday, had a long busy day and was not nearby to do so. But these are the gains since then

 

[Sarthur2]

So far so good!

Strangely they have all decreased in their growth today? They are 2 weeks old, when do they start gaining weight at a slower pace?

 

[Sarthur2]

Kittens should continuously gain weight.

They can have an occasional plateau day, but if the gains are poor again the next day, or a kitten loses weight, you need to supplement.

You’ve got one who lost, and a couple who only gained 3 grams. That’s not good.

 

[Thesaint117]

Kitties growth so far! They all weight between 220-290g (not home where I have my measurements) playing and in static walking mode

 

[Thesaint117]

Kittens are now just over 4 weeks old. I've tried to introduce them to biscuits and wet food, 1 of them has taken to it a bit.

Umm concern is I've noticed a wet patches so I assumed they have peed, I put a small litter box in for them and some have started eating the litter. It's a clumping type one that's found here (9/10 times I only can get this).

Should I be worried?
