I recently took on a 3 week old kitten, born Aug. 20th, that had been abandoned by its mother. The person that had her before me said they tried to put her back with the litter but the mother wouldn’t accept her. She is eating pretty well I think, approximately every 3 hours and up to 5 during the night. I’m not too concerned with that. She’s been away from her mother since Sept. 10th possible before that. The person that had her before me was feeding her canned KMR and I have been giving her the powder kind. Since I got her on the Saturday the 11th I have been stimulating her to go to the bathroom and she did not poop until Monday morning. She pooped again the next morning and then last night she went in the litter pan on her own and pooped. Since then she has been pooping every few hours just a little bit on her own sometimes in the box sometimes near it. Today, since my vet okayed it, I mixed a little kitten wet food in her bottle with the formula to start the weaning process. She seemed to like it. But today the pooping every couple hours has continued and she cries during. The consistency color also worry me a little. It’s ranged from runny to almost toothpaste and the color is somewhat yellow and even some white parts sometimes. It’s also slimy or mucusy. She saw the vet on Tuesday and he said she looked good and he gave her that yellow dewormer so I thought maybe that could be causing this.
Also she has yet to go pee by herself yet, I have still been stimulating her after every meal for that. Is that odd? I’ll be calling the vet tomorrow to be safe but I thought I would look around the internet for help first.
