    Hello everyone, I just got 4 precious kittens two nights ago and have tried just about everything but they still haven’t pooped! I am feeding them powdered kitten formula every 4 hours and stimulating them after each feeding. They pee each time but still no poo. I’m starting to get worried so I’vever searched around online and tried diluted formula, warm wet washcloths, a warm bath, burping, lots of tummy rubbing, and just this last feeding I introduced a little bit of veggie oil in their bottles. Is there anything you think I should try next? I don’t really have the money to take them to the vet so I want to try everything I can until that’s the last option. Of course if it comes to that I’ll make it happen, but I’d love to see this work out! How long is it okay for them not to poop? Should I be worried yet? Thank you.

    Hi Shayla,

    Concats on your new babies! Here’s some links on hand rearing kittens. Naturally, seeing a vet is best but here’s the best info we can give you. Many TDKers swear by Goats’ milk. Mix it 1 milk:1 water. It’s easy on the tummies and doesn’t give them constipation.
