I found a premature kitten who I'm not fostering. She is 3.4 oz. She eats but not that much and she always hiccups after eating. She has pooped 3 times today (each time I did not stimulate her) and I'm very concerned, is it normal? What do I do?

Please give me any advice you can. This is my very first time helping any newborn animal, I really need your help

Next question, is why do you think the kitten is premature? The weigh as such is a good one for a new born.

Ilthough I did had seen prematures with your good weigh, but its rare.

Eating not that much; how much a day? Being weak they cant eat much at a time, they must instead eat a little but often. Every second hour is common, is very weak even every hour.

What is on the label of some kmr - producers is way too seldom.


Pooing on its own isnt not that common, and potentially not so good.
Still, I say better this than having constipation...
