Hello,
I am currently fostering 2 rescue kittens. The shelter just found them the morning I received them (2 days ago), they were without a mother. Estimated to be approximately 4 weeks old. They have ears up, walk around and are starting to run, they play with each other and with toys... which after I have done some research seems consistent with 4-5 weeks. One of the kittens started eating wet food mixed with KMR however the other has no interest in wet food so I am providing her with KMR.
My question/ issue is with bathroom habits. Neither appears to be urinating without stimulation which by this age I would expect. The second big issue (what I am worried about) is that neither has pooped since we took them in. It is just over 48 hours since we received them. Both appear to be in no distress, playing and active but no poop. The one who started on the wet food abdomen does seem full but it is nontender and soft. I am just starting to get concerned and as I have never had kittens this age before I would appreciate any recommendations or advice. I have tried stimulating a poop without success from either. Thank you all in advance
