she has lots of sharp little teeth!

She is eating a few nibbles frequently. I tried offering a bottle but she wouldn’t latch so Iused the syringe and she would lap the milk up. She’s at 328g as of last feeding so I’m wondering if she is just not getting enough food.

Little kitten is down to 295g today. I am seeing her eating almost hourly. I mixed KMR into the wet food today also. I will try the syringe. They haven’t seen the vet yet but this week she will. We will be scheduling moms spay at the appointment.

Hello all! Bella had her three kittens on June 22nd and some will remember we ended up syringe feeding the smallest due to weight loss. Her name was Alice and we fed her around the clock. She was very playful and when we had to travel out of state we had a rescue take over her care. Sadly...

Thank you all. Kitten number 1 dropped A LOT of weight, she was pretty much back at birth weight. I spent yesterday feeding her every 2 hours and by this morning, she is back at her original highest weight. I did notice kitten number 3 dropped 4g, since yesterday but I didn't weigh at the same...

I believe the kitten is latching, but down another g. Is it worth syringe feeding 1 feed and weighing again? My husband is going to get the supplies if we need it. thank you so much for the article!

Good morning! The kittens are 5 days old! Stats where: #1 105g #2 99g #3 106g. 24hr old we went to 116g, 107g and 117g. 48hrs was 122g, 115g 129g. Next weight was 129g, 140g and 137g BUT yesterday and today, kitten 1 is at 124g. Kittens 2 and 3 are at 180g! So it seems kitty 1 either stopped...

Oops and just to add - her ‘nest’ is in the open as she gave birth in the middle of the room. Should I move her box into the walk in closet? Could this be why? Or could it be that she’s trying to feed the others but the other kitty is causing mayhem? the kitten does not appear weak or sick, and...

Just a follow up question. I’ve noticed today that Bella keeps moving the same kitten to behind her, but still against her on her back. Is this cause for concern? I will put it back in front of her with the other two but she keeps placing it behind her. This cat is fairly vocal compared to the...

Hi guys! I joined the site just a few days ago to get ready for our cat’s accidental litter! (Found out she was pregnant the same week we scheduled her spaying, so obviously postponed that!) I would just like to say, every cat labor IS different! Bella had no signs, no discharge, was as quiet...

Absolutely! luckily our vet is on the next street, so extremely close by. I will do this so the vets are prepared with the sitters information and can bill is without issue if an issue arises. I believe the sitter will come by 3-4 times a day as she is very close by, too. I am sad to miss the...

Hi everyone. New here and in a dilemma. We recently found out our female cat is expecting. She was due to be spayed but we had suspicions and about 2 weeks ago the vet did an X-ray and confirmed she had around 2 weeks left (so any day now… no labor symptoms as of yet). However, we are...
