    Over 1week Old Orphaned Kitten Won’t Gain Weight

    I have no idea what to do. I have to be at work but I’m numb. I cannot get out of my car to go into my apartment where there’s his milk and feeding bottle and puppy pads and blankets and everything. I cannot stop thinking that I may have overfed him. Or that I stressed him out with all that...

    Over 1week Old Orphaned Kitten Won’t Gain Weight

    Hi everyone, I’m tired and heartbroken and pained and everything in between. I came home from work with Peaches at 10pm. The last time he fed was at 3:30pm. He had been quieter than usual at work and I checked on him every ten minutes or so, since she’s just right next to me. At 11pm, I tried...

    Omg! I was sure it was female🥺😂 thank you. I don’t think it has teeth yet. I’ll check the next time I’m feeding him. You’re so kind. ❤️

    Peaches would not hold still for me to take the photo, but I hope this is enough to tell its sex. Thank you!

    Thank you. I hope I’m wrong. I’ve attached a photo of Peaches on a scale today. I don’t know the exact figure...

    Hello everyone, I’m sorry I haven’t given any updates in a while. I have been working, and I have been taking Peaches with me to work, which means that I’m tired all the time. I’m not complaining, but it’s really a lot for me. I’m still worried about the weight. It’ll be 3weeks on Thursday...

    Peaches is doing alright, I think. Thank you for asking. Just a little worried about his/her weight.

    Thank you. Peaches sleeps in a storage box on my bed. I fear he/she’ll make a mess if I put a litter box in there because he/she moves to different parts of the box all the time. Maybe it’s time to move it to a bigger space?

    I literally just asked about this again, thank you for replying. I don’t know what waterproof material to use. I have just been changing the blankets regularly, which is a lot of work tbh. He/she has gone through three blankies today alone. Also, he/she is so small, I have been wondering all...

    Hello everyone, thank you so much for being here for Peaches and me. I checked Peaches’ weight today and I’m happy that he/she’s actually 200g (+ a tiny little more!). I’m so so happy + relieved, omg. I’m thankful I said something here and that many of you pointed out how incorrect the vet...

    Thank you so so much. Yes, Peaches drank about 12mls milk the morning before we went to the vet. I was worried because I tried to feed it 3hrs after and it refused. I read on the internet that although their eyes are open, they don’t see properly until about 6-7weeks. I should stop reading...

    This makes sense, and I’m happy to hear it! Clearly both my measuring scale and that of the vet’s are problematic. Mine said 80g, theirs said 20g. My friend is bringing me a proper scale this evening to have Peaches checked. Thank you so much.

    This is such a relief, my god. I went back into the doctor’s office to see the scale used— pretty elaborate. I was scared! Thank you, I will continue doing all the things.

    Over 1week Old Orphaned Kitten Won’t Gain Weight

    Yes, the vet was not helpful at all. I kind of knew they wouldn’t but I couldn’t not do anything. I asked about the sex and I was told it’s too young to know. Nearly three weeks is too young to know for a vet? Sigh. My friend who’s a baker is bringing me a proper scale this evening so I can...

    Over 1week Old Orphaned Kitten Won’t Gain Weight

    Hello everyone. Again, thank you so much for being helpful to Peaches and me. I have just returned from the vet utterly heartbroken, even though the doctor says I should not be. Apparently, the food weighing thing I bought from the store is crap because the vet checked Peaches and it currently...

    UPDATE: Thank you all so much for all the useful information, I appreciate. I have been feeding Peaches every 2hrs, (sometimes 3 when it’s sleeping). And each time, it eats 3mls to 5mls (or a little more). It still weighs 80g but I’m hopeful that this will change soon. It is an active kitten...

    There are goats in Nigeria. We’re just generally not a pet people. So anything that’s not for human consumption, you may have to buy outside of the country. We don’t even have fresh cows milk for humans, we use powdered milk. So unless there are people who drink goat’s milk (and there aren’t)...
