Oh no! I am so sorry to hear this, but you can do this! We will help you!

Do you have powdered formula and a tiny syringe?

Did the vet show you how to feed? How much? How often?

How much do the babies weigh?

When did they last eat?

 

[catmammy2017]

Can you help me with what sex each is please

They last ate an hour ago..I try and feed little 1 first then other 2 then little one again

You'll need to feed every 2 hours this first week to help get their weights up. Are you using a syringe or bottle?

Will you have any help, because they must eat through the night also.

Are they peeing and pooping? Is the pee clear?

The hot water bottle must be underneath a blanket. You may find purchasing a heating pad more convenient for the next 3 weeks.

Would one of your other cats be interested in snuggling with them and cleaning them?

Part 2 - I think that is a girl but not positive.

A syringe will allow you to feed without the kittens suckling to get their weights up. They will learn to suckle, but it may take a couple of days. You'll know when they begin sucking on the syringe and drawing out the milk on their own.

Right now go slowly, drop by drop in the side of the mouth. Let the kitten swallow and breathe in between. Always feed tummy down, head up - never on the back.

My other cats are male...they won't come near them..they look and run away. I have know they need feed through the night I don't mind. I buy a heating pad tomorrow. I have syringe and bottles. There's yellow sometimes when I wipe them

I don't know if you saw my above post because we both posted at the same time so I'm quoting myself. I wanted you to see the part about feeding with a syringe.

Yellow pee is concentrated and means they are dehydrated. You can mix the formula with clear pedialyte instead of water to get electrolytes back into their systems. Pee should be clear once they are hydrated.

Also, you can trim the 2 cords to about an inch from the naval. They will dry up and fall off in the next few days.

Where do I get that from?

You should be able to purchase an electrolyte solution from a pharmacy. Give them a call first to see if they have it.

Here in the states it is called Pedialyte, and is available on the baby aisle.

In the UK we have dioralyte for rehydrating children (on holiday etc after terrible tummies and what not)
I'm sure they do non flavour ..?
Is that the same thing?

Yes, that would be what I am describing - thank you!

 

[catmammy2017]

Thanks got more into the little one using a dropper x

 

[Sarthur2]

This is good to hear!

Hopefully they will each gain the minimum of 6-10 grams per day. More would be even better!

You can put a soft, stuffed toy in with them to simulate a mom to cuddle against.

Teddy has made them less restless thanks x
