Common Questions and Answers about Kitten not eating kitten food
eating
I don't know whether or not your kitten eating your puppy's food is harmful......is the puppy's food smaller than what you were feeding your kitten? I found that with my cat(she's about 10 months old), she likes the smaller food, and we still feed her Purina kitten chow, or another kitten formula. She will eat "cat" food too, but she really seems to like the stuff for kittens and has an easier time eating it.
She made another poop, actually tried to poop on my fiances shoulder! It was solid and got stuck, which required me to help "Wipe" it out with some toilet paper. She did however try to eat the chicken we were eating, and cat food, soft cat food is what she's been eating. BUT she did get into some spaghetti we had yesterday, I'm hoping its just an upset stomach.
I'm not the vet, but I once tried to rescue an abandoned kitten that was not quite weaned. One of the most important things to do with young pups and kittens is to keep them warm - like 85 degrees. If they aren't warm enough, they can't digest food well. My little kitten didn't survive and died in my lap.
I don't like the signs you describe, so don't be surprised if she doesn't make it.
I have given it milk and water with a syringe.
we just adopted a kitten and she is just hideing and don't want to go to her food bowl is this normal or what help.
Hi my new kitten is more lively than any kitten I've owned or even seen! She climbs my legs (with claws), and most disturbing she's chewing on paper! She has lots of toys, and I make a point of having play time with her when I get up in the morning and when I get back from work. I leave out dry kitten food for her (she's eating well) and water. I brought her home she was just over 2 mons old. I have no other pets.
you want a proper diagnosis which only a vet can perform. Meanwhile, please buy some kitten food. WET, not dry. I assume you are feeding more than sardines, but if that's all, that is not nearly enough.
Keep us updated, and let us know what more we can do to help. Bless you for taking this little one in.
I am so stressed because we are on day 6/7 of my 6 month old kitten not eating or drinking much. She also is not acting like her crazy self at all. Short bursts of play, but then nothing. I brought her back to vet on day 4. They did blood work- it was normal. Gave her fluids & an enema because there was hard stool in the colon & they thought constipation could be causing her not to eat. On day 5 I called the vet again out of desperation.
Are you feeding him dry food or canned food? If you're feeding him canned food, it just might be that he's getting enough moisture in the food to control his thirst. If he's eating dry food, I don't know what the explanation is, but if he IS eating only dry food, you need to do something to try to entice him to drink.
My friend found a kitten who's mother had been run over. We could only find her. As best as I can tell she is around six weeks of age. She's very playful and active but still not fully coordinated. She has been eating kitten wet food mixed with a little of my grown cat's wet food (it is the only one that was available the first couple of days and she likes the taste better so it encourages her to eat more when we mix it).
I have weighed her for the past three days at 1.4 pounds.
t eating it so we tried wet kitten food and he is eating much more. He is playful if we instigate it but rarely starts the play himself.
He was fully vaccinated and wormed when we took him so will need a booster in a year.
I thought he was underweight for 12 weeks and I wonder if he is younger than they thought - he wasn't born at the centre as he was found as a stray, so I guess it is possible they may have miscalculated?
But this kitten keep sucking the youngest kitten anus and eat their poop more than eating normal cat food and she died today.Why is the reason she died?Is it about the poop toxic?
2)The youngest one got slamed by a door when the wind blows he was 1 month old.So,he can't use both of her back legs.Now,when I gently hit his back legs he will lift up his leg slowly.So,what should I do to make him walk again?Just wait?Also after this happened he can still eat,poop and pee.
They send us home with some cat food and some antibiotics and we felt encouraged. Today however he`s back to not eating and not drinking. We called our regular vet who just suggested taking him back to the ER vet if things got worse. He later called back and suggested some kitten recovery food which we went and got and sure enough the kitten ate regularly. So again we`re encouraged. Now my question is at what point do you rush of to the ER vet.
I have a kitten which is going to be 2 months old. His poops have been mushy since we get him last week. Since two days ago, he had been pooping very frequently and each time the poop was not a lot but his fur tend to get the poop on it so we have to clean butt with water basically everytime he poop. I have been free feeding him with eagle pro dry food kitten and adult forumla with fussie cat wet food 3 times a day.
