A fren of mine had some problems with her new adopted kittens... 2 of them at 2months of age... at first, they both have no problems pooping in the sand litter, but yesterday, after my fren got home from work, she discovered that those kittens had poop outside the sand litter... how can we teach those kittens to poop again in the sand litter?
and is it normal for them to poop so often? On the 1st day itself, they have been pooping a lot... My fren is giving the kittens a mixture of rice and soft kitten food... and they dont like to drink up the milk that my fren had mix for them... please advice... thanx  |

QUOTE(elfreakz @ Feb 4 2009, 01:26 PM) first of all, bring to the vet for Deworming. okies then... i'll bring them to the vet for deworming.... didnt know that rice + wet food is BAD for them... i'll buy them a proper dry kitten food... but wat if they dont want to eat this? my fren did bought some cat biscuits for them but they did not want to eat that much... i wonder y?Second, channge what you feed. No rice please. soft kitten food? eerrkk you mean wet food such as whiskas? if yes, skip this, and go for dry kitten food. third, pooping... see the poop is it hard or soft? of soft/watery you need immediate vet and change the food. fourth, pooping outside litter box... with all the above point, im sure your kitten is sick.... sick kitten/cat usually do mess in the house to show that they are sick. since they cannot talk, so they create problem. fifth, milk is good, but if they can eat already, skip the milk and give dry kitten food only. dry kitten food contain enough nutrition for the kitten to fully grow. can buy this at the pet shop such as Iams Kitten, Science Plan Kitten, Royal Canin Kitten, etc. milk can cause diarrhea and stomach pain. the best thing to do is deworm at the vet, and change the food and diet. proper diet please.  the milk that was given to them was bought specifically from a pet shop... She did not give them any cow's milk.. QUOTE(mojava @ Feb 4 2009, 01:39 PM) Milk is not good if it's cow's milk as cats and dogs are lactose intolerant....meaning that the lactose from the cow milk will harm them. the milk is not cow's milk, thank god... and i'll bring them for deworming soon.... maybe i could try 1st by changing their diet... maybe that is wat caused them to react as they did.... thanx for ur help... will update more on their progress if necessary...If you're going to be giving them milk of any sort goat's milk is the safest. Deficating outside the litterbox is/can be normal if it's on occasion but not all day everyday. If the stool is NORMAL then you just scoop it up & place it in the litterbox, the kitten will realise it's theirs & poo in the litter box. 1) Any cat/kitten 2months > should be dewormed. 2) Never feed your animal human food!!! Also I know your friends/family or elders may do this but NEVER EVER FEED your cats any type of BONES especially chicken or similar animal as the bones can sliver when they chew & your pet can/will CHOKE on the bones & DIE!!! 3) Google is your friend & there are alot of informative sites on cat/kitten care/behaviors etc. (usually the .gov .edu or .orgs) are your safest bet to research from. |

QUOTE(mojava @ Feb 4 2009, 05:47 PM) Wet catfood is ok for the kitten but what I think he's referring to is owh... put them on a steady diet of dry food not a mix of wet/rice. Milk/milk powder for animals is also ok.  in dat case, i'll ask my fren to give them wet food first w/out the mix of rice... but will it be ok if she mix them together with dry food instead? since the kittens didnt know how to eat the dry food... thanx for the advice.... |
