It sounds like you are doing a great job utilizing the food and materials that are at hand, Friskie s pate style is formulated for adult and kittens that is all mine ate along with Fancy Feast pate and they are healthy adults today.
What I meant was even if I ordered it I wouldn't be able to get it any faster since I still need to go into town to pick it up. If I am already going into town I can just buy it at a store. I called and asked, the feed store in town does sell it, so if my husband can get off early enough he'll get it or we will pick some up Saturday when he is off work.Maybe order KMR? You said that it would take a few days, but the kittens should do well until then. When it comes you can ether mix it in with what you are feeding now, or just mix up a saucer for them and let them drink that instead of water.
I'm not sure if there is any low-cost clinics around, not up here (there was one but I think they closed, they were horrible and likely killed my cat when she went to get spayed). I live in Northern Alberta, they have discount spay and neuter month in February at some of the vets offices, but that's only 20% off. Looking up the last cat I got spayed, even with 20% off, the total came to almost $300 with vaccinations (probably why a lot of people don't spay and neuter). I'm also not sure the vets around here will spay and neuter that young either, they do it at around 6 months.I’m in love with them already!
The baby teeth come in at about four weeks, so between that and their weights, they are between four and five weeks old, and their mama probably ran off because she was in heat again, poor thing.
Their weights are excellent, and they should weigh about two pounds apiece at eight weeks.
Do keep them together for at least 12 weeks for the social development, and they should be spayed and neutered at that age too.
Do you have a low-cost clinic in your area?
I actually just talked with the vet today, unfortunately they wont do spay or neuters until at least 6 months old.Will you be getting them spayed and neutered soon? They are at just the right age now.
Yikes, you'll probably have to separate the males and females for a month at least, maybe 2. Females can go into heat as early as 4 months, males may be fertile as early as 5 months, and although the boys usually don't have a clue at that age, they might figure things out :/.
You could explain the situation to the vet and see if they're willing to do even one group at a younger age (neutering the males is a less serious operation, maybe they'd be willing to do them first).
