    Hay. I rescued 1 day old kittens about 9 days ago. And now they are ten days old. They pooped once or twice when I got them, but now they just.. stopped. They haven’t pooped since. They pee a lot. Every time I stimulate them. Do they not poop because the milk is a liquid and cant exactly form into a solid, therefore more pee, less poop/to no poop?

    Hi Omi, welcome to TDK! No, kittens will need to poop eventually. I take it you have bought them some KMR (kitten milk replacer) not Hartz please since many have lost kittens to this replacement. PetAg makes a good one or plain pasteurized goat’s milk will do. Anyway, try adding a little olive oil, or vege oil (a few drops) to a bottle as you feed them. Then a few minutes after they have eaten, try stimulating them to poop. There are many videos on hand rearing kittens on here that are helpful. I will see if I can get some links for you.
