Hi all,
I took in a 2-3 week old kitten ( assuming age, eyes open, ears unfolding and about 10.2 ounces in weight now). He is a chunker and eats between 80 to 95 mLs a day.
Yesterday he started chewing on me and everything like crazy and with his feeding we just finished and his previous one (he eats every 3 -4 hours depending) hes more interested in chewing his nipple or me than eating. He took in abou 3 mLs this time around and less than 5 about 3 hours ago. He chews, purrs and passes out. He has little lumps where his incissors will be. Is this normal? He's taken in 93 mLs today total so i know he isn't starving. Hes peeing and pooping, very active and not acting abnormally but i want to be sure I don't need to worry. I lost my last foster at 11 days to FKS so im a bit paranoid but as long as he's eating its okay if he doesn't maintain the same appetite? Should i wake him up sooner to eat for his next feeding or keep him on his normal schedule? Thanks!
