Hi all, I’m new! ๐
I need major advice here, I’ll explain. Just on Friday my momma cat wasn’t showing up, and my only reasoning would be that she was out hunting and got killed. The kittens were frantic, and so I brought them back to the house to try to feed and comfort them. They meow a LOT, is there something wrong with them? I am giving them the homemade formula that includes evaporated milk, an egg yolk, and corn syrup. I have a syringe (w/out needle of course) and an ag pet kit borrowed from a friend. One problem: there is NO holes in the ag kit nipples and I made some holes, but it doesn’t come out like I’d like it to. They don’t exactly suck on the nipples either, how can I get them to suck, and not give up?? And for the syringe, it does pretty good. So how MUCH of this mixture am I to be giving, and how many FEEDINGS should I do a day? Last night I stayed up til 12, got some formula down, and woke up at 3, repeat, then at 7 this morning again. Then mid-morning at 10:30, then after lunchtime around 1:30. I tried to feed them around 3:30 or 4, but they won’t really eat. <span style=”text-decoration:underline;”>Am I feeding too often?</span> Or too much, or not enough? They keep meowing, and they suck on the bigger teddy I stuck in their little box. What’s wrong, and what can I do to make sure I’m feeding enough, and that they won’t get sick? They are 3 weeks old as of today! Most have their eyes open by now. I don’t want them getting sick or dying. <span style=”text-decoration:underline;”>Any advice to get them to stop meowing? </span>
