    1 week old rescue with big belly

    I’ll start giving him that. I prepare the milk at every feed, so I only make a little over what he is supposed to eat at a time. Should I put the 1-2 drops at every feed or just do it a few times a day for the first days?

    1 week old rescue with big belly

    Hey everyone I’ve been trying to burp him today but he is just so tiny I don’t even know if I’ll really feel a burp coming out of him. I’ve tried to do as instructed for every feeding for like 5 minutes and haven’t really felt anything. I wonder if it’s normal to take a long time to burp and...

    1 week old rescue with big belly

    I’m paying very close attention to his development. In case he starts eating less or having trouble pooping I’ll def. take him to the vet. I’ve considered worms but online I’ve read we can only deworm at 2 weeks old. So I thought it’d be unlikely that it’s worms since he has been feeding on...

    1 week old rescue with big belly

    Hey everyone, My dad rescued a cat last Saturday. He appeared to be about one or two days old. I have been keeping warm, feeding him formula (I know I’m suppose to feed him 2-3 hours a day, and he does during the day, but during the night he sleeps a lot and when I try to feed him he just...

    Caring For Two 5 Week Old Not So Healthy Kittens

    Hello everyone. Quick update on my girls. Today they had their morning poop with no blood on it (internal party happening inside me ahah) I gave them the dewormer monday night. On tuesday there was still a little blood on the stool, but today it seems to be gone. But the poop smelled a little...

    Caring For Two 5 Week Old Not So Healthy Kittens

    Unfortunately we don't get canned wet food here, only the sachets. I don't know if its the same case. Yeah I was hoping her tummy would kind of sort itself out but its been three days so I thought it was time to do something. Its not even that much blood either. Just a few drops after she poops...

    Caring For Two 5 Week Old Not So Healthy Kittens

    Is metronidazole an antibiotic? I spoke to the vet on the phone today as she was suppose to come to my house to vaccinate them tomorrow, she said it might be worms so I am giving her another round of dewormer today. They were last dewormed about a month ago. I find it strange since they are...

    Hello! Today I weigh them. In the beginning of this thread khaleesy was weighing 270 grams and arya was weighing 390. Today khaleesy is at 450 and arya is at 600 so I think i can say they are thriving. Last Sunday khaleesy had to receive an enema (we did it at home) but after that she has...

    Caring For Two 5 Week Old Not So Healthy Kittens

    Yes the vet said we’ll repeat in a months time. I have a question in terms of feedings. Last week they were a little problematic and i was feeding them every three hours. Now they are fine and also with playing more they are also sleeping for more hours in a row, like profound sleep. During...

    Caring For Two 5 Week Old Not So Healthy Kittens

    UPDATE my girls are doing well, they are pooping again (never in my life did I think I’d be so excited to see poop) On orders of the vet I started mixing dry kibble on their wet food. She didn’t want me to just leave it out because they might experience diarrhea so she told me the best option...

    I think so too. I actually think they are just big bellied kittens. As long as they are soft and they don’t complain when I squeeze them I think I can be happy :) nk

    Oh and after pooing out everything with the help of the laxative she still dragged her butt on the litter. Is it normal ?

    Please give me an opinion on the belly size situation at this point. It is soft not hard, when they eat it becomes hard. But I feel like it’s smaller than the first photo of her belly I posted on this thread

    Caring For Two 5 Week Old Not So Healthy Kittens

    My gut feeling also tells me she doesn’t need it and the vet did tell me this over the phone so she didn’t really see her. She just told me it’s normal for kittens on KMR and wet food to pee a lot and for the pee to be clear and odorless. I’m just dead scared of dehydration. Even though she...

    Caring For Two 5 Week Old Not So Healthy Kittens

    UPDATE: We have her a glycerine based anal laxative and she went right away. The first few pieces were small, dark and dry but after she managed to let out some soft poop. Her belly is still big (I’m starting to assume it really is just from them being kittens) i weighed her before the...
