Taters now has most of both eyes open- there’s one last little middle bit on her second eye that’s being stubborn. It’s looking good for her!
My latest concern was the weights the last couple days; the kittens are now 25 days old. Yesterday the whole litter had the smallest gains so far- only 6 grams for each of them. I made sure mama got extra wet food and kmr today and she loved it but didn’t seem to eat any more then usual (her dry food intake decreased as I offered the wet). When I did tonight’s weigh in, the weights were all over the board;
475(+6)
436(+6)
467(+12)
474(+16)
507 (-1)
The loss was of course the most concerning and it came from the biggest kitten (Spud). None were acting odd; if anything, Spud was extra energetic- zooming, pouncing, and wrassling every kitten he could get his paws on (see photo of him mid-bounce) He had zero interest in mama snacks but he did settle down for a nap with the rest of them. Is this just a blip? Considering how active they’ve been, should I just do another weigh in tomorrow morning instead of waiting till tomorrow evening?
