Hi! I'm new to this website and I've loved it so far, it's been really helpful!
I'm currently taking care of 3 11-day-old orphan kittens (I've had them since they were about a day old) and, naturally, I'm full of doubts
Right now I'm strugglig to set a feeding routine for them. I've visited several vets and they all have told me different things, but most of them agree that I shouldn't wake them up to feed them... I've tried it, but my kittens can easily sleep for 8 hours straight (at this point, I always end up waking them up because I get worried ).They are not lethargic or anything like that, in fact, they eat well and are quite active when awake Also, I think they're a little bit behind in their development... They still haven't opened their eyes yet, and the biggest one weighs about 165g (the smallest is at about 135g). I've seen every kind of poop coming out of them , but the vets insist that they're in great shape... I'm pretty sure they have parasites, but (at least in my country) you can't deworm them until they are 15 days old. I'm really concerned about it all, but I still see they are in good spirits... Any advice, please?
