Precautions for feeding kittens:
1. Healthy kittens that can suck milk like to use bottles, which is also a more natural way of feeding. The size of the hole on the nipple is very important. You need to cut a hole yourself. The size of the hole should be such that only one drop of milk can drip out at a time when the bottle is turned upside down.
2. If there is a female cat at home, be sure to wash your hands before feeding the cat, wrap the kitten in a towel or use disposable gloves to prevent the female cat from smelling the kitten and even eating the kitten. Lose. Every time after feeding the cat, give the kitten's butt to the mother cat to lick, and the mother cat will clean up the kitten's poop and pee.
3. If there is no female cat at home, you will have to be a cat mother. Use a cotton swab or paper towel dipped in warm water (must be warm water, not too hot, the cat’s skin is very tender and should not be scalded) to wipe the cat Cat's butt. After wiping for a while, you will see that the cat will urinate and occasionally defecate. Careful parents can write it down so that they can go to the hospital for examination in the future so that the doctor can understand the cat's condition.
4. Good hygiene habits must be followed when feeding newborn kittens. All bottles, pacifiers, feeding tubes and other supplies must be kept clean. Caregivers should also carefully clean all feeding utensils. You can use Rinse with boiled warm water.
5. The replacement milk should be heated before feeding. The temperature should be the same as the body temperature of the female cat (38.6℃). Remember to drop the replacement milk on the back of your hand to confirm the temperature. Replacement milk that is too cold can stimulate vomiting, induce hypothermia, slow intestinal peristalsis and inhibit intestinal absorption.
Kitten care matters:
1. The weight of a newborn cat is about 70-135 grams. A healthy cat will gain about 5-10 grams in weight every day. An increase of about 100 grams per week. It is recommended that the owner observes the changes in the weight of the milk cat every day. If the weight of the milk cat is not increased, the cat may be sick and should seek medical treatment in time.
2. The cat’s urine should be light yellow and odorless. If the urine smells pungent, the cat may be dehydrated. Check whether the milk powder is too thick and whether the amount of milk sucked is not enough.
