Four Week Old Kitten Wont Poop

[MadCa7]

Help! My four week old kitten seems to be constipated, shes being only peing but no poop will come out even if stimulated for a long time. Is it safe to use an enema on a kitten that age? What should I do?

You can add a bit of olive oil to her food! It will help move things along!

Begin with some
Olive oil or other coldpressed food oil with every meal. If it doesnt help you may do an enema if you are cofident how to do it.

Does the kitten have a mom or other resident helping out? If so maybe the helper takes care of the poo. It is usual.

Ok, thank you Ill see if she does better otherwise Im taking her to the vet.

The vet will give her an enema.

What are you feeding her? Adding a few drops of olive oil to each meal will help prevent this issue once her bowels are moving again.

Are you sure she is 4 weeks? Have you tried stimulating her by rubbing her genitals with a damp cloth?

What do you feed her? And where did you get her?
