QUOTE(jaswwp @ Feb 23 2021, 08:58 PM) May I ask how much you guys spend in a month on cat food? I kinda dare not count the cost because mine are mainly eating wet food so the money spent is substancial. around rm 200 - 300 per month, i got 2 cats, eating royal canin hair & skin and brit premium wetfood once in a while.

QUOTE(jukoh @ Mar 11 2021, 03:13 PM) Just saw this message. I hope your kitten survived. My cat delivered 6 kittens and 2 were stillborn. The last one is the runt of the litter and we were worried it would not survive (bald headed and very weak). It was back in November during CMCO and we called nearby pharmacies to find out whether they sell milk powder and feeding bottle/syringe for baby kittens. After that we had to help the runt get enough milk from mother cat during every feeding then supplement by bottle feeding every 2 hours. By the time he's 1 month old he slowly grew stronger and growing more hair. By 2nd month old, he's starting to look handsome. Now he's the fattest/heaviest and most handsome out of the litter and is well loved by everyone. We're really thankful we managed to save him. any tips to give milk for 2 days old newborn kitten? this one smallest one among the others and he seems like dont know how to get milk from the mother, always sesat to other places even after i help to put it near to the mother nipple tried to bottle feed also he dont know how to drink and mouth seems so small to try force the teats in π

QUOTE(jukoh @ Apr 8 2021, 05:36 PM) Just read your message. FYI, we use 1ml syringe and slowly 'shoot' in the mouth (careful not to choke the kitten or hurt the mouth). Kitten powder milk is only as supplement (preferably every 2 hours if it's not drinking mother cat's milk) because most important is the mother cat's own milk. We also help the kitten to find and latch on to the mother cat's nipple and take other kittens to put on another nipple if they try to 'fight' with the runt because the runt is too weak to fight on its own. It will drink milk a while then sleep so we have to wake it up gently and put it to the nipple again. Sometimes need to tell mother cat to stay still and pet/encourage her to take care of the runt. You can observe if mother cat totally don't care about the kitten which means survival rate of the kitten is slim unless you help it. We noticed cos mother cat has other kittens fighting over her nipples and is too tired to really care about the runt who's not latching on so we keep bringing it to her to lick/clean. If mother cat did not clean the kitten, you need to take cloth (wet with warm water) to gently stimulate the kitten's bottom so that it will poop/pee. Try to google 'how to care for runt kitten' and read/watch videos. We are so thankful ours survive and is now the 2nd biggest size out of its siblings. Best of luck. my one little runt has passed away this evening when i got back from work, i did give it milk every 2 hour with the 1ml syringe when im at home but no one to look after it when im at work, it really cant get any milk from the mommy. now going to bury it, π
