Hello. First time poster here.
I recently became a mother to 2 precious little kittens. I would guesstimate their ages to be roughly 10 days or so old, but not entirely sure.
The male has no trouble eating or going pee/poo and seems all around healthy. The female (also the runt) seemed like she was having a hard time having a bowel movement. Its understandable that the potential for them to get constipated was high when they were transitioned to KMR. A few days ago, I noticed that the female kitty was refusing to eat and seemed lethargic. So I ended up taking her to the vet and they performed an enema on her because the x-ray showed that she was really backed up. I felt so awful for letting them do that to her, but I wanted to give her every fighting chance she could get...
Since then, she is acting normal. She eats well and is active. The only thing that concerns me is that she has not been able to poop. I stimulate both kitties and the only one who has been able to have successful normal poos is the male.
Is this normal? I spoke with the same vet that I took her to that performed the enema and they said it is concerning that she has not had a bowel movement yet, but not sure..
If anyone would be able to help me out with this issue that would be greatly appreciated.
Please be kind to me~~
