I can see how tiny they are , they are also very thin. thinner than normal, you are definately going to have to build mommas milk up.

She is so pretty. Is the black one all black?

I am going to get kitten food as soon as hubby gets home. Not sure if its all black I think it might be tortoise shell

 

[gypsy2621]

Has Mommas tummy gone flat? I am hoping there are no more hiding in there and she pops them out later.

WOW! They are tiny. And very skinny, most are fat when they are born. Is she having any more contractions?

My vet said to give our lactating dog (Who had 11 HUGE puppies) puppy food, untill the pups were weaned. Maybe you should do that for her. Kitten food, obviously.

It has more nutrients in it. And we always give them beef liver after birth. I dont know if it helps, but that is what we do.

I appreciate everyones help thank you all. I don't think she is done yet her stomach is very hard still. Maybe another kitten or contracting from retained placentas. Poor thing. I moved one of the kitties to a nipple and it is just boney. They r so tiny and so thin. Prematurity or malnourished or both?

 

[gypsy2621]

Beef Liver is high in all the iron and vitamins she will need, and yes kitten food is the best idea, be sure it has the omega 3 and vit E oils included. but I would sstill like to see her with some kitten replacement formular also.

 

[taraann81]

No her tummy is not flat yet. Still sort of puffy.

 

[warmfuzzies]

Well, I think she can go up to two hours between them, so a rest might be good for her and the babies. And yes, the kitten replacer sounds like a good idea.
