Not yet, as my vet advised waiting until she's 6 months old but she will be very soon :)

Sorry for the very, very late update but here's how the "little" one is doing right now: :D She has turned into the most playful little kitty and she weighs about the same as my adult cat does. Thank you for all of your tips and insights. I couldn't have done it on my own!

One of the vets at the clinic was willing to deworm him at 2 weeks, another vet we saw opposed it until 4 weeks, and our regular vet said she can do it when she visits us again for my adult cat's yearly shots in a week, which will be week 5 for the little one. His stools were irregular in his...

chromecat - I think I might be fostering your kitty's brother from another mother! :p I never witnessed any vomiting though, and good thing, because I think I would spend a couple days without any sleep at all if I did! I really appreciate the info on pneumonia. It eases my mind to hear from...

I live in Turkey and I honestly don't think any vet clinic around here would spay/neuter ferals brought in by locals at a low price, if at all. Unfortunately that isn't common sense here yet. I agree with you, but that's not my reality :/

I would love to, but our yard houses nine female cats in total and I couldn't possibly afford it all if I were to start getting them spayed :/

I would worry too much about my adult cat. Mine is not a spacious flat, and the mom cat is generally very hostile towards other neighbour cats. But she is currently living in a neighbour's balcony with her kittens, which is basically a small, dry and cozy nook. I guess it wouldn't be a good...

Thank you, I hope I am :) Mama cat is fed daily. I heard one of the kittens passed... unfortunately there are many male cats around. I wish trap-neuter-return was a common practice around here. Anyway, remaining 2 siblings are doing just fine. One girl and one boy, I suspect. They're slightly...

Well, as I thought, the vet finds it unnecessary to give him drops yet, so all I can do at this point is hope that he's alright. Thanks everyone.

I just fed and weighed him - he's down 7 grams but last time I weighed him was before his big poop, which was a result of 2 days of constipation. I last weighed him at around 8 am, now it is 6 pm so it hasn't even been 12 hours. Other than that, he sneezes very occasionally but it's always when...

Thank you! I hope they're willing to prescribe. I probably wrote my previous post in a post-feed sleepy haze, sorry about that. I'll rephrase: I have always fed him belly down, there was an issue with him sneezing but I later chalked that up to the hole size. I tried smaller holes, but kitty...

Could I request antibiotics as a preventive method, or would that be too harsh on a three-week-old kitten that doesn't have pneumonia? He fed better but only for a while, then he almost choked. I don't feel confident enough to carry on with that :/

Sorry to update this with a non-improvement, but this is my situation right now: Since posting here, I've been doing everything as usual. Belly down posture, new teats everytime the flow feels too fast... I even moved onto feeding larger amounts at a time because the kitten seemed to be fine...

I don't know how, maybe because I hold him too gently as I'm afraid to hurt him, but he's managed to squirm out of all the burritos I made of him :D His eyes are fully open now, so he's a little bit calmer. But only a little! He hasn't sneezed today, although he burps and passes gas more often...

So I would definitely see a change in behavior if he inhaled? Good to know. :) I read somewhere that inhaled formula could rot in lungs and that would cause the pneumonia. Could be wrong since I have only one source for it and it was a forum post (can't be sure if it was TCS), but that had me...
