   Try a small amount of mineral oil in her food.
   You can also google "orphan kitten care"..Get her to a vet as soon as you can.

   There are many folks here who will have great advice.. The weekends are slow so keep checking in.

   Hi, Shannon, this is a subject (kitten poop) that comes up a lot on TDK. I added a couple of tags to your thread (top right hand corner, in pink) and if you click on these, you can read other threads on kittens that aren't pooping yet.

   Do you have a litter pan for her yet? If so, after she eats, get your warm wet rag and gently imitate the mamacats licks on her bottom for a bit and then put her in the litter pan. Usually that is anuf to get them "going". The kit looks like a visit to the vet is in order to deal with possible worms, and general health issues... Is the kitten active, and sleeping well? Starting to play?
