Re: one of kittens losing weight help.
I think you should get him checked by the vet.
They do go downhill very quickly when something is wrong. ![]()

Re: one of kittens losing weight help.
have u any kittystim?
KittyStim Kitten Probiotic & Colostrum - £8.80 : Vet UK: Selling Hills Prescription Diet, Frontline Spot On, Royal Canin, Feliway, DAP, Drontal, Hills Science Plan, Seraquin, James Wellbeloved for less. have you syringe fed him? if he has a cleft palate the milk can bubble out of his nose. is he feeling any warmer? def get him warm before you try hand feeding him. how is mum with him? he will need energy to suckle. you can also get nutro drops. |

Re: one of kittens losing weight help.
what i meant by bottom is did he have an anus - if everything looks to be in place then that probably means it is.
My comment about his cries is because of the risk of a cleft palate. Cleft palate kittens tend to not latch on, get neglected by mum (they sense something is wrong) and have a distinctive cry. If he isnt feeding and youve got him warm properly, then i would get him to a vet asap today rather than tomorrow, and get the little fella checked over properly. Remember its bank holiday too, so if you end up havng to see a vet tomorrow or monday its going to cost alot more.... not saying you wouldnt see a vet - just giving you a reminder of the bank holiday. |

Re: one of kittens losing weight help.
well the good news is ive done as the vet said and the first supplement feed I gave him he did have it but wasnt really sucking, but ive just done another one now, and he drank it and sucked! the vet is happy, and said just to keep topping up
PLEASE HOW MUCH SHOULD I GIVE IT IN MLS? for each feed. my next neighbour is a doctor and shes given me some shringes to use, the teat wasnt working, but might tomorrow?

Re: one of kittens losing weight help.
I had to feed one of our last kittens with a syringe for the first 24 hrs, I used cimicat and think he had about 3mls every 2 hours?? I still have the tub so will go check for you.
