The healthy one is a good size!
You can put the weak kitten with mom for comfort. Are you still feeding it?

Good to know. I will keep an eye on her. She's barely touching the KMR bowl. She's becoming really touchy since I removed the kittens that have passed away. She's not leaving the remaining kitten alone for more than a few minutes when before she was leaving them for 20 to 30 mins.Probably after pains or hormones. Glad she's better now. Too much KMR can cause diarrhea in mom, by the way.
I gave him 1.5 mL when I got home. it was the first time I gave him a supplement. He seemed to be doing really well until momma started putting him in the litter pan. Momma licked him and he mewed a little bit and moved a little bit but now it looks like he's in a deep sleep. I'm not weighing the kitten because I don't have a kitchen scaleYes, I do think you should be concerned. Your kitten should not be so lethargic. How often are you supplementing? How much? Are you weighing the kitten every day?
I put them in a blanket lined baby pool. Momma seemed to like that better than the box. She crawled in with him and he made some attempt to cuddle her but not to nurse. He's moving and stretching and sometimes I will see an ear twitch or a sucking motion with his mouth but he still seems to be asleep. I've attempted to wake him and it hasn't worked.M mkcrazycatlady
The litter pan is not a good place for the kitten. Can you put them both back in a nest?
I think you need to feed the kitten more, as I mentioned above. Something is not right.
