    I rescued her when her mom abandoned her. She hasn’t pooped in two days and she seems to try but cant. She peeps just fine and will go to the bathroom on her own with no help. But when it comes to poop it seems really hard for her. Im so worried i have already become so attached. 🙁 any advice?

    She is around 3 weeks her ears are standing up and she is starting to play and we are feeding her hartz precious nutrition milk replacer I have been stimulating her and she pees easy. But no poo. She eats really good and is getting quite the belly ha she gets so exited to eat and her name is kinley 🙂 should I just keep stimulating her and seeing if she goes? This is her second day not going :/

    What a tiny one! Sometimes kittens won’t poop for two or three days. At this stage all of their intake is in liquid form so there isn’t as much solid material to eliminate. Stimulate her before and after she eats, but gently. You don’t want to make her raw. Check out all the advice in the threads I tagged at the top of this thread for more suggestions. You are doing a great job. Thanks for rescuing this little one.

    Yay for poop!! I would keep an eye on her bottom to be sure the area isn’t becoming irritated and swollen.
