Hi! I have 2 orphan kittens, 5th day, tiny and one is quite weak. They arrived just 3 hours ago, from rescue center. I read all the basic links, have formula to feed them, they are sleeping in box now on the heat pad
Our spayed shorthair girl licked them after their first meal here, at our home, but how long it must last? The licking? To be sure that the tummies are getting enough stimulation? (And it looks for me like one kitten already is having hernia)
Our "step mother" did it only for few minutes, and then was sitting under they fall asleep and then left. Now they are sleeping nearly 2 hours calm (maybe my fault, overfed them for the first time, one swallowed nearly 10 miligrams until I realized what amount he had sucked in at one swallow)
