You can also put a few drops of paraffin oil in the forumla and on the anus. This lubricates the intestines and anus and makes it easier to pass on the stool. Paraffin oil shouldn't be given more than just a short period since it also affects the nutritional uptake negatively.

yeah we use Cimicat instead of the RC. the electrolytes in pedialyte will help but wasn't sure of the dose so didn't mention it figured would be best coming from a vet. paraffin or a tiny drop of lactulose in the formula. but still if the kitten was rejected? maybe the kitten may need some medical care as well to be sure.
poor lil thing!! good luck!
