Sigh. How much milk are the other two actually drinking?

Do they take it well? Are they peeing and pooping?

I'm sorry to hear another one passed on.

Were you able to contact any of the rescues or shelter @Kat0121 found?  Even if they are full, they may be able to help with supplies and some hands on help.

Sorry to hear this, I had a feeling after seeing the video clip.

The other 2 should not die! They are very actively moving/climbing each other, but you must be sure they are warm and eating enough.

I am sure the others went too long without enough good kitten formula to live and grow.

Kittens are at an incredible speed of growth right now, in the first 2 weeks their weight doubles from birth weight, etc. so there is not much room for them to go without or not enough of the proper milk made for kitten's needs.

Now you know what you must do for these other 2.

I presume you have NOW the kmr, even if its Hartz?

Or at least, the home made glop I skissed?

Because we talk the whole time about milk here milk there, but you dont tell clear cut its a kmr now, not longer the soya milk.

Use the pedialyte to mix the KMR with instead of water, otherwise the milk is too diluted.

They don't have to poop after every single meal. Just make sure they go.

They should really stay together if possible, especially the first three or four months. They will play together and become best friends.

Their poop should firm up once they get used to the milk. It should be the consistency of toothpaste.

I'm glad to hear they are eating a lot. They will need kitten chow and wet food when they begin to wean eventually, but they're not there yet :).

I'm glad to hear those two are doing well. Keep doing as you have been and it should go well. It really does make all the difference when they are kept warm and fed on schedule.
