Maple's kitten adventures...

[Imp]

I think you are doing great maple. And to answer your question Yes. I do however agree that #1 needs to go to the vet asap, if at all possible.

Kitten 2 with Ava....

I'd feed him at least every 2 hrs...

Start the baby on the bottle to get some milk in him..then when he perks up..let him try to suckle off mom...
If he doesnt suckle..then you need to finish feeding him yourself..
ALSO.. since hes so weak..he may not snuggle up to mom to keep warm enough... he HAS to be warm enough..or he wont eat...
So.. you gotta make sure he stays warm enough somehow....
This isnt going to be easy.. I hope he makes it.

And i KNOW its really hard..but dont let the girls handle them much anymore (look is okay..but not touch..).... not right now with the little sick one. YOu dont wanna stress him or mom out at all.

 

[maple]

yeah...that's rules...look don't touch...I had them hold them while I changed the bedding.

dang, it's like havin a premie again...except feline style and not real baby. I will enter into the land of fog. I will make no sense and I will live in my pj's.

Your doing a great job for your first time. I've never witness birth in person and love the pictures.

Mama kitty might benefit from some raw liver. We always gave it to mama cats and it really seems to help the smaller, younger mamas. good luck and nice job.
