Today Tigra has started to cry out in pain when the babies nurse. I checked her and her nipples all feel normal. Not too hot or too swollen. She didn't cry when I touched them. Yes, I know I'm about 1000% times gentler than the babies are. She only nurses for 2 to 3 minutes straight. If I lay down with her and pet her the entire time she will nurse for a few minutes longer but she cries and bites my hand the whole time. She's biting because shes in pain, she did the same type of bite when she was in labor. Its not a leave me alone your bothering me bite. (Yes, you probably all think I'm crazy by now).
Also, one of the kittens isn't doing too well.
He was the biggest last week. This week he is the smallest. He's losing a lot of weight quickly. When the others are off playing and running around he's standing in one spot. I gave him a bath tonight with some KMR. He didn't drink very much of it. I'm going to try again in a few minutes. He's napping right now and the other kittens are playing. He's also crying a lot.
I read on some sites that weak kittens should be feed sugar water... if that's true I would love to hear it from one of you guys first before I go ahead and do it.
The only KMR at my store is Hartz. I live in the boonies so I can't get anything better either. Can I add anything to the hartz to make it more nutrious? Some emergency KMR receipes have things like eggs and mayo in them... can I add some to the Hartz KMR?
Kittens are now 28 days old.
