I'm fostering 8 kittens that I got two weeks ago. They are about 9 weeks old, all healthy, but they are small for their age because they were bottle raised in another home. My question is about Peewee the runt- he never eats as much as the others.
All of them charge at the wet food and gobble it except for him. Sometimes he runs with them but then he just sniffs it and then turns around and comes to me.
He isn't lethargic or anything and he does eat crunchies. But his weight is way less than the others and he sleeps more.
I have given him kitten milk and baby food and he does eat a little of it. This seems to stimulate his appetite for wet food, but I have to be careful because he gets the runs easily.
Does anyone have suggestions for nutritional supplements or food kittens love, that doesn't cause diarrhea? He is going to his new home tomorrow and I'd like the parents to have something that will help him.
He does eat his kitten crunchies but this is a bottle raised baby and he looks so thin. His new home is really wonderful and caring and I know they will be trying everything to get his weight up. I'd like to give them some good tips on what he should have.
