Hello! This is my first time writing in forums for a kitten.
To cut to the chase, I have a kitten that is 3 weeks old and does not have a mother. He was found in my backyard and the mom never returned, so I decided to take care of the kitten.
I have been feeding it KMR powdered formula and been using tap water to make the formula. He eats well and is a playful kitten.
Recently I have noticed that he kinda has a big belly and he hardly poops, the cat doesn't seem to show signs of being uncomfortable but it still worries me. I have called a vet but they will not see my kitten till Friday. I will keep looking around till I find an earlier appointment.
Anyways, I have tried to stimulate him and he does pee, a lot; but he does not seem to poop. The last time he pooped was on 4/19/2021 at 12:15 PM. So roughly yesterday around noon, but it has not pooped since I get worried when it doesn't poop.
When he does poop, it comes out like normal and brown. it is not hard so it shows no signs of constipation. Would my kitten need vet intervention or should I continue to stimulate and see what happens?
I'm very nervous when it comes to my kitten because I want it to live a happy and healthy life and I want to catch any future problems that may arise. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to help ((
Thank You!
