For a tiny kitten like yours, maybe just the teeniest taste of cod liver oil mixed in her food? just once in the day. You are doing great work, I admire people like you because I know how time-consuming and worrying it is with such tiny ones. How is she doing now? BUMP!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18845#post-411976 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 06:15:34 +0000 caroline 411976@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>bump... Keep checking in..good advice here from lots of folks.<br /> Try a small amount of mineral oil.. good luck, </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18845#post-411849 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 20:13:05 +0000 panagabko 411849@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>i have just rescued *five* 2-3 week old kittens....they all seem to be doing great except the runt of the litter. this one kitten was severly underweight and lethargic, with an semi infected eye that looked like it had never opened...</p> <p>a few days later it is successfully nursing*with help* and its eye is clearing up and functioning, and its is putting on weight and starting to be active...</p> <p>but then after i mixed a little kitten formula in with its milk *which i later heard can constipate them* it seems to have not yet pooped...</p> <p>i dont want to wait too long, and allow it tto become severly constipated for this kitten is allready in a fragile state....</p> <p>i just was wondering if anybody knows of safe way to help decongest my kittens bowels...remember it is tiny!<br /> i just want all these kitties to come out of this healthy and happy....especially the wittle baby kitty! </p>
