Hello all. I hope I am doing this right. I am in need of advice on two 91/2 week old kittens I have left from a litter of 3. (Big brother has gone on to his new home.
) The problem is weaning them. One is actually eating a little on her own. She will take a few bites of wet food and is definitely drinking the Mothers Replacement Milk. Hmm--Guess I only have one stubborn (?) kitten. Any way, he will drink the Mother's Replacement Milk but absolutely refuses to touch ANY kind/brand of food. Not wet, dry, or mixed with the replacement milk. Not even TUNA FISH!! (The real thing) I have tried every brand of food I can get my hands on. I have separated them from mama several times for as long as 12 hours. When they are separated from mama they will not eat or drink anything at all, regardless of how long they are separated from her. She is quite willing to nurse them and will even call them to her. She (Mama) has been through one heat cycle already and I know she is getting close to going through another one. I have homes for waiting for both of them. In fact the male kitten ( the one who refuses to eat any solid food) is going to be joining his brother.
I have tried everything I know plus all the things that have been suggested by the vet. ( I have called several of them) Any suggestions? Thank You!!!
