I really do not know myself, there is sure to be advise coming along soon. all I can say is how I would think and like you I think 72 hours is a long time. I wonder it is possible that the kitty has pooped and it has not been seen. hopesome can give you some constructive advise soon.

Oh
Just one thing to add re the above, is the kitty having plenty of fluid ?

How old is the kitty? How long has she been weaned? How long has your friend had her and has the food being changed lately? In a young kitten going so long without pooping cannot be good. If she seems ok in herself then thats a good sign but personally I would take a trip to the vets just to make sure. Hope all goes well.

I would give the vets a ring and ask there advice.

Hi,

Firstly how old is the kitten? Has she only had the kitten 3 days?

I think your friend should ring up her vet to ask advice, they would be the best person to speak to.

I agree Chr, vets advice for me too, not healthy building up all that poo IMO and best to get it checked out

thanks guys got a call from her and its been using "behind the sofa" for its poo lol well at least theres no need to panic, i had told her to take a trip to the vet and get the kitten checked out and i think she is going to book an appointment anyway
the kitten is 8 weeks and she has had him/her since thursday not sure where she got the kitten from.

but thank you all for your advice
