CATDOLL : What to do if the kitten has no breast milk

If a kitten does not have breast milk, it can be replaced with pet-specific goat milk powder. Besides breast milk, pet goat milk powder is the milk that best meets the nutritional needs of kittens. The owner can prepare a disposable syringe without a needle, and use the syringe to draw the milk powder soaked in warm water into the newborn kitten to feed it. When the cat grows up a little bit, you can use a cat-specific milk bottle to feed the cat.

Things to note when feeding kittens:

1. When feeding, you need to feed a little bit at a time, especially in the early stage of birth. Don't rush to feed the kitten to avoid choking. Generally, newborn kittens need to be fed every 2 hours, about 2-4 ml at a time, and increase the amount of milk appropriately after the kitten gains weight.

2. Check whether the kitten is full. Even if the cat eats very little at a time, we should check after the kitten finishes eating to see if the kitten's belly is slightly round and bulging. If it is always flat, it means that the cat is not full.

3. When the kitten is 28 days old, it can be weaned gradually. At this time, it is necessary to feed it with milk powder and a small amount of kitten food. The kitten food needs to be softened and fed 4-5 times a day. And gradually reduce the amount of milk fed and increase the amount of cat food fed. The kitten can be completely weaned after 40 days.
