    Underweight 3 week old kittens don’t want to eat

    The kittens rapidly went downhill. They have been gaining and losing in the last few days but had no other symptoms whatsoever until today. It’s been a rollercoaster. Yesterday the shelter vet told me they were perfect but gave me a dewormer to give for the next few days, just in case. But today...

    Underweight 3 week old kittens don’t want to eat

    Hello!! I brought home 2 kittens from the shelter. They are estimated to be around 3 weeks but they definitely look 4 weeks old. They only weigh 328g and 296g and I’ve been trying to syringe feed them with a mix of KMR and high quality wet food. They don’t seem lethargic or sick but they have...

    Does my pregnant cat even look pregnant?

    Thank you!! She does , however reluctantly, tend to them when they’re hungry. They are squirmy and so far have round tiny bellies. I will weigh them when my human children take a nap and keep track in my planner. I will update 💗

    Does my pregnant cat even look pregnant?

    I found another stillborn kitten she’d given birth to while we slept. It had the head bitten off 😭😭😭😭 Please let that be the last one oh god. I’m watching her like a hawk and I keep encouraging her to be with her kittens. She is nursing them and they seem healthy.

    Does my pregnant cat even look pregnant?

    We have 2 little beans! Mama is obviously a first time mom. She nurses them but otherwise wanders out of the nest when she’s not needed the kittens are clean and fed though. I cried when I heard their little cries!

    Does my pregnant cat even look pregnant?

    Last night she was scratching at the closet door like crazy and then scratching around in her nesting box I made her. Today her food bowl is still full and she was grinding her teeth but now she’s laying down constantly purring. I also caught her licking her nipples. It also seems like she’s...

    Does my pregnant cat even look pregnant?

    Ok perfect, I will give her the first dose tonight. I read it’s safe during pregnancy and lactating and I always have the powder available. She’s still eating and drinking but I hope she holds out another week so she can get better before the babies come!

    Does my pregnant cat even look pregnant?

    Thank you!! I have Breeders Edge which my mamas and kittens usually LOVE but she isn’t crazy about it yet. She also doesn’t care for wet food she just likes kibble. Should I mix some breeders edge with tuna maybe?? also I think she’s developing a URI. She’s sneezing a lot. I don’t want her to...

    Does my pregnant cat even look pregnant?

    Thank you!!! She definitely seems to be bulging in some spots! And she loves laying on top of me and sleeping. I have a feeling it’s her first litter. I’ve fostered many pregnant moms but this one seems so nervous, so that makes me nervous! I don’t see any movement yet but I feel like sometimes...

    Does my pregnant cat even look pregnant?

    Hello!!! I’m fostering what my shelter told me is a very pregnant mom. They estimate she’s due in 2 weeks so I’m just trying to bond with her and help her feel safe and relaxed. She’s very affectionate and VERY playful, always rolling around and purring and wanting lovies. I’ve had a few mamas...

    5 week old kittens refuse to wean - PLEASE HELP!!

    I am at my wits end!! I’m fostering for a shelter so I have the kittens until they are 8 weeks old. I’ve had them since they were 1 week old and they are pretty perfect with one exception - they refuse to wean. Occasionally the boy will eat gruel off my finger but forget eating from a dish. I...

Are the estimates usually accurate? she’s eating and I’m giving her lots of food. The girl can EAT! She eats like 5 cups of dry a day and I’ve...

    Underweight / Weak Kitten

    I found out about it because it’s what our shelter that I foster with uses. I’d never heard of it either but found it on amazon! It smells yummy like vanilla and cotton candy and supposedly it doesn’t have any milk products so it doesn’t give kittens diarrhea as easily. Little Archie lost weight...
