Last wednesday a friend of mine found 4 baby kittens. We are sure the mother is not around and my friend has two children under the age of two so I told her I would take one of the kits. I got the only female and shes so dduuurrnn cute =)
Anyways..I understand the whole having to stimulate them and that KMR sometimes makes them constipated (im guessing them to be around 3 weeks) so now I have her on kitten glop and she just started eating a/d canned food today per the vet. Well..she DOESNT POOP! She pooed Thursday when I got her and then I had to give her an enema Sunday to get her to go. It was orange and there was a good bit. The next day...no poop again. Another enema and there was a good 3-4 inches of orange poop. Poor thing. So thats when I had enough. We took her to the vet yesterday. They did a fecal test and checked her over. Everything was negative and they said she's very healthy and to try getting her to eat some canned food and just to keep doing what I'm doing. -_-
I love the vets office we go to. They're amazing. But the poor dear still isn't going. They gave me an actual rubber hose enema for her since I only had a small plastic syringe and I did another one lastnight...same thing.....a lot of poop but this time the color is FINALLY starting to turn more of a mustardy color (im starting to think the orange was from it sitting in her so long). They gave me a stool softener and anti biotics to keep her on for one week.
But what can I do to make this poor thing go poo?!?! I stimulate her every time she wakes up and every meal. She pees great. No problems there at all. I tried all the tricks. Pumpkin, a drop or two of oil, pedyialite. I'm at my wits end. (not with her, just the situation because I feel so bad for her.) and her belly is just so bloated. I even burp her after every bottle..
