It is also very important that if kittens are cold, don't feed them directly, because they can't digest food at this time. You can feed them 5% glucose water with a syringe first.
Before feeding the kitten goat milk or cat milk powder, you need to prepare feeding tools, which are generally available in pet shops. For kittens, milk does not have enough nutrition, which is easy to cause diarrhea, so it is best to feed cat milk or goat milk.
Feed the milk every three to four hours, and the temperature of the milk should be controlled between 35℃ and 37.8℃. Kittens can be fed every four to six hours after two weeks. When it is three weeks old, the feeding interval is changed to six to eight hours.
If the kitten is full, there will be some milk bubbles in its mouth and its stomach will bulge. When a cat burps, you can put it on your shoulder and pat the cat on the back to help it exhale. Kittens are full, let them enter the sweet dream! When the kitten stops sucking the bottle and starts biting its nipple, you can start feeding it canned food.
Kittens need stimulation to excrete. The mother cat will lick the kitten's ass with her tongue, which can stimulate the kitten's intestine and bladder and is beneficial to the kitten's defecation. We can gently and slowly massage the kitten's ass with a cotton swab or a paper towel dipped in warm water. If the kitten has diarrhea, wipe it with warm water. Remember to keep the kitten clean. Generally, after each massage, the kitten will pee. The frequency of cat defecation should be once a day. By the way, normal poop is brown and normal urine is yellow.
When the kitten is four weeks old, we can start training it to use the litter tray. As long as the kitten has finished eating, put some kitten poop in the bedpan, and then take the kitten to the bedpan to let it know that this is the place to poop. You should teach it to use a cat casserole, otherwise it won't use cat litter.
How do kittens guess their age? If your kitten hasn't opened her eyes, it should be less than ten days. Maybe it has a small umbilical cord in its belly. Generally speaking, the mother cat may be nearby, and you can also find the kitten's brothers and sisters. If the kitten has opened its eyes, but has no teeth, it means that it is less than five weeks, because the kitten will have all its deciduous teeth in about five to six weeks.
If the kitten is abnormal, it should contact the veterinarian in time. A healthy kitten should sleep for 90% of the first two weeks after birth. If they keep screaming, they may be sick or not full. Newborn kittens are easily infected by germs, and some kittens will die within 24 hours after birth. In a word, kittens are very fragile. If there is anything unusual, please take it to the vet decisively.
