Yes, the kangaroo warming method has many advantages.
Do you happen to have an IR-warming lamp? such as rheumatic persons use? Or persons keeping lizard terraries? Perhaps some neigbour has? Very useful with many weak ones.
Otherwise, you can take common raw rice, put it in a sock, and nuke it in micro 5 minutes. You get a heating pad holding warmth several hours. Wrap this up in a towel of course.
Human baby formula is OK, but as I understand it, its too weak. double this up and it should be even better.
water with regular sugar isnt harmful as such, but it doesnt give the same quick energy boost to a weak kitten. As it must be digested some. While honey water works already in the mouth, glucose sugar doesnt need to be digested and goes straigh into the blood already in mouth and all the intestine systems.
Im happy the little one seems to be better. He perhaps will live after all.
Yes, I think momma wanted to squish him. She sensed he was going downhill, so helping him to die quicker, she was very kind sort off...
Some moms take extra care of the weak kitten,
but some not, they abandon or worse. Everything to save them whom are still healthy.
In all such cases its necessary to handraise the weak kitten - and it may often be saved. Not always, and its often a fight uphill. but often enough a dedicated human may win, when the kitten leaved alone would mercilessly perish and die.
So its peculiar, very often its not advanced veterinary help which is decisive and needed, but a dedicated caretaker whom gives her heart and effort.... O Ola1393
Mamma is in my room seperate from all cats but her kittens! I have already got a large carrier pen to put her and them in when their older until she finishes nursing so I can take her to be fixed
Timmy was completely separate from the others because she tried to squish him and I didnt want him to be smothered. So I did the stimulating with each feeding. The morning of the day he left he had finally had a really good movement but he had been passing a little and peeing each time prior to that. I had been so excited because I took it as a good sign and that he was finally getting his systems in order. I dibt understand why he died, he was sooooo active all day... I cant keep thinking about it, it hurts too much
