ok now shes has lost over 2 days we know that something is wrong, one day is normal, 2 days isnt, what have the other babies gained? Can you check in the kittens mouth make sure its fully formed?

Id pop to the vet ask them to show you how too feed and you need one of these:

Catac Standard Feeder-Hyperdrug

but you NEED someone in person to teach you, there are tricks to help them to suckle, but you need to be shown in person, but vets asap as its now been 2 days and kittens go downhill super quick, Id go tonight

p.s. doesnt matter you are now a breeder, and its up to you to look after the kittens until 12weeks of age, feed them, teach them, vacinate them worm them, insure them and many many other things oh and neuter mum - no accidents... just owners!

Hi all.

My mom popped into the vet while she was up town yesterday and the vet said to carry on trying to get it to feed from mommy cat as we were doing. he said the weight of the kitten was still good, but the weight loss was a concern...
He said the kitten might have a cleft pallet.
The vet said if there was no change by monday morning to take the kitten in and he would have a look for us.
Unfortunatly the kitten passed away through the night :GUTTED:

I have taken the dead kitten away from the litter, now mommy cat is looking for it, i put her back with the other kittens but she comes straight back out and just sits there as if shes waiting for her kitten to be brought back...

This is normal right?

My son is going to be so upset when he finds out its died

Thankyou for all the advice over the last few days.

Oh that is so very sad. i'm sorry the kitty didn't make it.

i don't know if thats normal or not as i have never breeded, but if it was me i'd be looking for it.

you did what you could, sometimes it just wasn't meant to be even though that doesn't stop you from being upset.

take care

Sorry to hear that your little one didn't make it
RIP little kitten
It probably wasn't feeding properly - did you have a look at all to see if there was any obvious problem?

sorry to hear that, but a vet wouldnt say that, he either has a cleft palate or now, it easy to tell as the roof of the mouth isnt formed, when they are born they are basically drowning from that point and make alot of noise, they wouldnt be able to suckle, no roof of the mouth to form the tounge against, so the kitten wouldnt have gained weight.

maybe she had a tiny one, but the vet would be able to see it? Sadly things like this do happen, sounds as though she went down pretty quick as you were feeding her last night?

she may wonder where the kitten has gone, I dont think most notice as they have other kittens so are focused on them, just need to look after mum & kits now.
