Please come back and let us know how your kitten is doing! I will also post a link on the triangle method, it’s actually a video and you might find it helpful also. I know you have hand reared before, as have I, but I have found having these links to refer to gives me confidence that I’m doing the right thing.
#5 week old tabby kitten full
I am going to post some links for you that are full of info. I think once you get the kitten started going, you will keep having success. Yes, keep trying as it takes patience, patience and more patience sometimes with some kittens! Try putting a few drops of olive oil in the milk to lubricate inside. It is probably hard at that spot, and have done what you have using the thermometer to get things stimulated. It sounds like the protrusion in my experience, is that the kitten has poop. It is awesome and doesn’t cause constipation or diarrhea in hand reared kittens that I have used it on. I have used the canned condensed goat’s milk and that ratio to water is 1 to 1. I don’t have any experience using the powdered goat’s milk, so can’t comment on the water/powder ratio. No one here is going to make negative comments on anything Heather, as this is the fluffiest place on the internet! Welcome to TDK! I had a response typed out on my laptop, when the whole thing disappeared. Perhaps I am not patient but would love some advice.ĭo not want to hear negative comments on the % of his survival. It calls for 6 parts water 2 cups powder. Is this constipation? Am I using too much water in the formula? I am adding 3 cups boiled water to 1 1/2 cup dumor kids powder. Butt bones by anus are still visible and tummy is starting to become more roung.Ĭalled the ER and used a mini thermometer and lube to get things moving. Tooshie was ‘out’ but since being under water, no stool was observed. Triangle method was used under warm faucet water. fifth day 3ml- 3 1/2 ml every two hours anus seems to protrude from slightest touch.

Rubbed bottom to go poop, no stool came out but anus looked as if it was “peaking” Got some stool rub off all over cotton ball, unsure if was just rubbing surface poop or actual defecation. Urination is good, meowing well, will hold head and purrs when full. I am out of the swing and every person I know who hand rears kittens pulls their hair out over POOP! The problem is, I haven’t had any babies this age in 2 years. This is what I have used raising puppies, and three litters of kittens. He is on DUMOR goats powdered goats milk. I was contacted so I brought him home that night.Ĩ:15pm of 10/12/15 he has a chunky yellow poop. This kitten was found 10/12/15 in a ditch tied up in a plastic bag in the sticks of Tennessee.
