    5 day old kitten constipated or?

    Back to normal, switched to a bottle and poop is normal upon stimulating instead of just coming out on it's own.

    5 day old kitten constipated or?

    I think the kitten was getting dehydrated again yesterday as it looked plumper before. I did the pinch test and decided to use home made pedialyte in the kmr. I think things are back to normal just not sure about pooping next.

    5 day old kitten constipated or?

    There are no siblings. I will try to reintroduce back, but since it had not pooped and I was trying all these things plus was on the road yesterday, I wanted to see proof of poo.

    5 day old kitten constipated or?

    Yay an inch long brown poop and a good pee as well. Now do I do pedialyte in place of water for formula? Olive oil?Any special care? Thank you for the replies, not sure when the next poop will be but hopefully sooner than 3 days.

    5 day old kitten constipated or?

    I mixed up a home made pedialyte that I found the mixture on this site and fed him some warm and straight. Maybe I should mix his kmr with it instead of plain water. I am a bit afraid of using too much olive oil. Is it safe? I think with syringe feeding it may not mix well and ends up last in...

    5 day old kitten constipated or?

    I have this above but have not given him any. I give him this kmr pictured below. I have powder pedialyte but its apple flavour. I read the new stuff in stores has too much zinc now. So not sure if I should buy some if he starts getting dehydrated. Can I make my own?

    Miracle nipple feeders

    Yes, looks like I may have to buy another whole set, what a shame in Canada with shipping it was 25.00. I would use them in future on any kitten, I bought it for a sick one that passed away the other day. The siblings do not need feeding but it was suggested I get some. To return would just...

    Bump on kitten's abdomen

    I did try running warm water over his bum area and nothing and later a tiny pc of suppository and nothing came out. The leg motion was like going to scratch his side which was odd as none of the others did this. Anyway I thank everyone for their help, I thought he was improving.

    Bump on kitten's abdomen

    I woke up to check and feed the little guy , he looked like he was sleeping. He had died. I don't know if it was that bump under his navel or something I did. He kept working the hind leg like he was constipated or? He did drink from the bottle early evening. I did put him with his mother but...
