I got a meal into the kittens of KMR and got them and Mom into a large dog crate. The vets I spoke to said this may force her to care for them. I am giving her no more then 2 hours. One of the remaining 2 kittens is def. the weaker of the two, if mama doesn't step in I have very little hope for it. The other, the polydactyl seems like a fighter, caught on to the bottle quickly, more active, pooped twice already.
We did have a big tussle getting Moma into the cage. She still looks huge. How long can they go between kittens? 24 hours? I am willing to call a vet to see her but I don't feel like it will be possible to phsyically examine her at this point. It would pretty much be- look at the big cat in the cage and her poor neglected kittens.
I guess I did the wrong thing last night when I moved them out of the litterbox to put down newspaper. She was nursing fine till then. Let's hope my mistake doesn't cost all the kittens lives.
