Hello
So my Maya gave birth 6 days ago to 5 kittens and most of them are around 160g with the exception of 1 which was the runt at the beginning however he managed to get to 130 now. ( they were all born around 80 g ) however 1 of them is only 112 g and has been gaining 3/4 g a day. Should I start to worry or is it alright as long as it is suckling regularly and not losing weight ? The other one which I thought was going to be the runt of the litter also started off gaining around 3 g a day until 2 days ago where it went up by 15 a day. I do have supplementary powder milk however the vet said that once I start feeding with it the kitten will no longer want to feed off Maya.what should I do ?
