Hi
Heeelllp.
We found a kitten abandoned in our back yard 2 days ago.
Mom never came back we waited. Since tuesday night she has been taking the hartz kitten formula. 5-10 ml. at a feeding every 4 hours or so. She is in a nice box with a heat pad and one of those dolls that imitates a mommys heart beat. She purrs and pees plenty. Its the poo I am worried about. She pottied Wednesday a real good time in the evening. Thursday afternoon just a bit on a cotton ball. Now we are rolling into friday and no more. She eats with vigor.
Her eyes are clear, nose had a scratch on it so I have been putting neosporin on that. Any tips would be loved. I have 3 children whose hearts are all wrapped up in this little girl. (mine too).
Thank you.

It's my understanding that mamma by her licking and cleaning of her babies, "stimulates" the action of the bowels, resulting in release of stool. I would rub the body gently, from head to toe, on the sides esp, and see what happens. This is so neat to have happened for you and the children, they sure get to learn a wonderful thing! I just recently found a little baby possum, 45 days old from what the Wildlife Center said and the trust it puts to a gentle hand is priceless. God bless.

Hi
Thank you for the kind note. This is a wonderful experience. My dog has adopted her and licks her and it really helps.
Thank you again.
Blessings
