Hi. I took in a pregnant stray cat who was found outside during a snowstorm. She had health issues all through the time I had her, and she ended up passing away a few hours after giving birth. She was not producing milk. She gave birth to five kittens, one stillborn. Two others have died since then, and I am currently left with two. One has gained almost an ounce steadily over the past days that I have been weighing her. The other, however, started at 2.6oz, went up to just under 3oz the next day, and has stayed the same today. She also hasn't really pooped when I've been stimulating her yesterday and today. They have both experienced loose yellow stool, so I have been diluting their formula with Pedialyte in hopes to help. The vet said not to worry about the stool too much as they are not on mother's milk, but I'm wary about this situation. I've never had to take care of a litter of kittens before and having lost 2 already, I wonder if I should be worried about the lack of weight gain.
