I need your help please....
I have 3 kittens with 3 to 4 weeks Old... They are really sick and I don't know what to do... When already died... I put them In something warm because they were trembling... Their mother isn't giving them any food and I can't afford a vet...

What do I do it seems they are really suffering...

You need to feed them! You'll need kitten formula and a syringe. Or you can use sugar or honey water to get started. They will die without food. I can also give you a homeade formula recipe to use.

Yes please!
I gave them something, but i don't think they laked it.
If you know the formula, because 2 more weeks and i think they can eat normal food or even drink water

What did you give them and how did you give it?

And what is the mom doing?

I will write the recipe now. Can you post a picture of the kittens?

I mixed cow's milk with two yolk eggs and a teaspoon of vegetable oil... But i read it's a provisory thing...
I gave them with a sering, one of the babys ate well the other two were kinda liking it
The mother doesn't recogonize them. Actualy they had two moms, one that regected them and the other one fed them for only one and a half week and then she started to make a mean sound to them

Okay. Use evaporated milk instead of cow's milk. Add one tablespoon of mayonnaise, one tablespoon of water, one egg yolk, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of sugar. Mix.

Feed every couple of hours for now, until they are eating better. Let them have as much as they want, but they must eat.

If they have teeth, you can try Gerber turkey baby food. Put it on your finger and see if they will lap it off. If so, guide them to a plate.

Let us know how this is going!

Use evaporated milk instead of cow's milk, then add the other ingredients that I listed to the evaporated milk.

I'm glad to hear that number 4 is still alive. Feed him small amounts every 1-2 hours, and keep him warm at all times.

Put him with his littermates. Their body heat plus the hot water bottles will keep him warm. Make sure the hot water bottles are wrapped in blankets.

If you do give them Gerber baby food, make sure it's the meat only with NO onion or garlic.
Keep us posted, they are adorable.
You are in good hands with Sarthur2 and Stefanz.
