Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

I bring a dropper close to the mouth and once it latches onto it, it sucks it empty. It takes a little for me to get the dropper positioned properly

I have weened a few in my time. Have you made it poop and pee? Thats where I had the most problems

It won't do that on its own?

after 4-5 weeks it will but for now you have to do it every time they eat.

I wonder if the mother car will still take it off I put it where I put the others. She took them

I should feed the kitten again before going to bed. Oh dear, what did DH get me into this time
Good night!

Stimulation for Urination and Defecation​

Mother cats groom their kittens to stimulate urination and defecation on a regular basis. If you are acting as their foster parent, you get this important duty. Very young orphan kittens will not be able to urinate and defecate without your help, so this is a crucial part of neonatal kitten care. Before and after each feeding, gently rub the kitten on their lower abdomen, as well as the genitals and rectum with a cotton round, or toilet paper dipped in warm water or an alcohol and fragrance-free baby wipe. Whatever you stimulate your kitten with, make sure it is white so you see the color of the elimination. Pale yellow urine is ideal. The darker the urine, the more dehydrated your kitten may be. Consider adding more water or Pedialyte to your formula. Make sure to rub only enough to get the kitten to eliminate because overstimulation will irritate the area. Keep an eye out for chafing and lingering dirt and do not let the kitten get chilled. Kittens should (and almost always will) urinate during each stimulation. They should defecate at least once daily. It is normal for a kitten that just comes into your care to not defecate for up to 48 hours. Transitions stress their system resulting in a delayed bowel movement.

General guidelines are:​

• Kittens need to be stimulated until about 3 weeks of age.
• Kittens should be stimulated before and after each feeding.
• Kitten should urinate every time and defecate at least once daily.

When kittens are 3 – 4 weeks old, they no longer need help eliminating body wastes. Place a litter box in the crate or cage and fill with non-clumping litter or shredded newspaper.

How's the poison ivy, blue? Did you get some cortazone cream for it?

Not bad, thanks. Yes, I got a tube of Cortizone 10. it doesn't really itch or bother me until I'm trying to sleep.

I still don't see sickle neck feathers on the 2 nd from the front in the middle. Were planning on selling hatching eggs or hatching more for yourself ??

Thought I'd try to sell 3 and keep 2 for hatching later, see if I can raise some OE's out of my Sapphire Gems. And then sell those. But that's a year or more down the road and I have NO ROOM AT THE INN!

There's a bunny sitting in my blvd right in the line of sight for the dog's. Wish I had a working BB gun.

What you got against bunnies, eh?

I got some packages ready for the mail today. DH collected vintage electronics to restore during retirement. He lost interest so I'm selling them as is, online. Anybody old enough to remember this one? They used to have them in hotels and you put a coin in and select the music you want to listen to

Yes, have seen something similar in some vintage A&W's, I believe. Way cool! Hope you get a good price for it!

fish with mac&cheese goes good together.

Good with salmon patties. Bake the mac n cheese, get a little crust on it.

after 4-5 weeks it will but for now you have to do it every time they eat.

Use some baby oil on a cotton ball. First rub kitty vigorously with a washcloth all over to exercise and stimulate, then stimulate the anus lightly with the cotton ball, like mother licking it.

ETA, Granny got it!
