I would love to see new pictures of them!

idk who the culprit is, yesterday when im still at work, apparently all of them or 1 of them pooped and peed in bed.. the result is all of them had dried pee and poop in their body including their head..

the question is can id pour warm water soap or only warm water on their head? im afraid they will inhale the water/soap water and got sick because of that

Only use water, but be very careful not to get it in the mouth, nose, or eyes. No soap on the head.

Are the kittens doing good otherwise?

Can you post a new picture soon? :)

okay noted, last time i only bath them until their neck.. too afraid to pour water on their head

yes they're doing good. 2 of them is bigger than the rest, but the bigger ones doesn't have more appetite than the smaller ones especially cry goddess she is the biggest but she doesnt want to drink milk much.. she always shake her head after 3-4mL (i feed them 3-4mL for every of them, untill all done ill give 2-4 more mL each of them in turn with total 5-8 mL)

sure, ill post it after i bath them tomorrow..

This is good to hear that they are doing so well.

Do you think the smaller ones need more milk?

I look forward to the pictures. They will be two weeks old this weekend!

You are doing a fabulous job with them! :)

Aww, I understand your feelings - it's rewarding to save their lives, but it is also much work, like another job at home.

The kittens are happy with you! :catrub:

They are so precious! :redheartpump:

What a nice job you are doing!

They can eat soft wet food at about 4 weeks old when they have their baby teeth. :)

When they begin eating soft wet foods you start putting them in a litter box before and after meals. This is usually around 4-5 weeks old.

How are they doing?

There is no disease. My guess without seeing a picture is that the feet and crotch are suffering from urine burn.

Since they have no mom to clean them, the pee and poop burn the skin on their bottoms and on their feet.

Please apply coconut oil to all of their feet and bottoms frequently, and I believe you will see an improvement. :)

On, no! I am so sorry! :(

You did not post a picture of the peeling skin. Did you use coconut oil?

What are the symptoms? Do they have diarrhea? Do they eat enough?

2 smaller ones died, the 2 bigger ones survive.. :( :(
i cant find the oil :(. im really busy lately.. i often cant have a lunch because of it.. i cant find the coconut oil on every supermarket nerby.

no, starting on week 2, they almost never have diarrhea anymore (apparently, i gave too much powder milk, i thought much powder milk is good for them.. turns out it gave them diarrhea instead)
yeah, they eat enough.. i never counting how much mL they drink now.. i just keep give them untill they dont want to eat anymore

You are doing the best that you can! You can use olive oil if the skin is still peeling.

I am sorry you lost two kittens.

They will be 4 weeks old at the end of this week. They will eat wet and dry cat food soon - at about 5 weeks old.

They should be getting their baby teeth soon too!

When you have time we would love to see a new picture. :)
