Hello everyone... another uninformed new user here. I just have to say thank you to all of you! I too went through a pooping worry and I think I read about 20 poop/constipation topics about how to make this kitty poop!
I found an abandoned kitten on my drive way. There is a mother cat outside with a liter of about 3 kittens and she did not want anything to do with this one. He was tiny (maybe less than a week old), had traces of blood on him and there were flies flying all around him. I thought maybe the mom would eventually come back for him, and since I was on my way out to work, I promised if I get home and he's still there, that I would help him... and when I returned (around 11 pm) there were no other cats/kittens in sight except for this little white kitten, whom I named Milo, shivering like crazy. I spent about 2 hours washing him, picking all the fleas, and scrubbing the FLY EGGS off of him. it was not pretty... I bout some KMR, fed him and took him to the vet to get dewormed.
but here's my question now... His eyes were barely open when I found him, and I've had him for about a week now, but he's pooping and peeing on his own, and I was wondering is it too early to litter train him and how?? I put him in a box with liter, and he just tried to escape... when he couldn't he cried till I picked him up. He's sooo tiny still! He's only 6oz and hasn't gained any weight this week even though he's eating like crazy. Another thing is how do I get him to eat on his own? I put milk in a little bowl and he won't touch it... he still loves his bottle. He has another appointment with the vet on the 22nd for his second round of deworming... but can any body help till then?
