How Do I Know If My Cat Is Eating Enough, 2 Weeks After Having Her Babies?

[mmeyers9]

She is barely eating, maybe 3 times a day, about 1/4 cup of dry food, each time...

I've been trying to help, with a sardine or boiled chicked, 2 times a day, to help with calories and nutrition...

Can you also give her some canned food?

Give the most nutritious wet food you can find and bring the food to her so she doesn’t have leave her babies to eat. I have heard Royal Canine has a mom and kitten food that is good.

thank you, I will try anything. she seems to act totally normal and happy.

she just doesnt have an appetite.

but she sits at her water bowl a lot and guzzles down lots of water

and all six babies are nursing often, I never see them go more than an hour and a half without nursing, a

their bellies are always full when they're done,

and when she's up walking around her tummy is always full of milk because it's sagging down

and when I touch it, it always feels like it's healthy and normal,
it never feels hot to the touch
and the around the nipples is never read

so I know there's no infection or anything bad going on inside

Try feeding her kitten food, wet or dry, and maybe Pedialyte or KItten milk replacer. These will all help here are a couple of recipes for homemade;
