I'm going to ramble, but I am a first time kitten mom. We got Lacie on 8/13 and she weighed about 481g. Her previous owners said she was about 7 weeks old, so we are guessing her birthday is June 26th. As I've googled, this seems very underweight. She is very bony and you could easily feel all of her ribs/hips/shoulders. If she wasn't so fluffy she would've looked like a skeleton. We have been free feeding her wet kitten food and she has been gaining a lot of weight. Google says they should gain around 10 grams a day, but she's gaining a lot. On 8/15 she weighed 499g, 8/16 520g, 8/17 556g, and last night she weighed 584g. I think maybe she is just catching up to where she is supposed to be.
I don't know if she is eating too much or gaining too much I just wanted to post this and see if someone else has experience with this or can give me any advice.
We got her dewormed and 1st set of shots on 8/18, I haven't seen any parasites in her poop yet. I added an adorable picture of Lacie just for fun.
