Exclamation Advice needed on newborn kitten

confused:My cat Poppy had 1 little kitten yesterday, and she took to it well, cleaned it, let it suckle etc. It sucked for about 2 hours non stop shortly after birth, then snuggled in for a bit but it has been crying and trying to feed, Poppy lets it latch on etc but it stays on one nipple for a few seconds and moves to try and find another so i'm not sure if it is getting anything from her, I have squeezed a few of her nipples but nothing comes out. Does this mean she has no milk for it???eek:

Re: Advice needed on newborn kitten

Hi cant really give any advice. But maybe call your vet if she is not feeding kitten then it will need a substitute milk that you can hand feed it with. Sorry cant really be much help

Re: Advice needed on newborn kitten

Yes it does sound as if she has no milk. There may still be kittens inside her, that would explain it. You need to take her to the vet urgently if you are to save that kitten.
