I'm confused, one of my 2 1/2 week old kittens gained 31 grams yesterday and today she lost 8 grams, I always weigh at the same time. It's confusing because she is playful, alert, walking better than most of her litter mates and feeding fine. Her tummy is as round as all of her siblings and she is acting like the rest of them, she isn't crying or lethargic at all. I really wonder if I gave the wrong weight yesterday or my husband wrote it down wrong because other than the loss nothing else fits.
Besides that she is in the middle of the litter weight wise and always has been, the biggest is the only male and after gaining the 31 grams yesterday that put her only 2 grams behind him. When I was moving them back into their clean nest the boy that is the largest of the litter feels heavier then the others and the girl feels noticeably lighter like the other kittens.
If there were signs of a problem I'd have the little one to the vet asap but I'm really thinking this was error on my part. I'm going to weigh her again tonight and if she gained then I'll take the blame, if she hasn't then tomorrow she'll go see our vet.
From +31 to -8 doesn't it seem likely that I messed up the numbers? I checked for discharge from her eyes and nose as well and everything is normal.
