Kittens are one of the favorite pets of many poop shovelers, but do you know? What's wrong with a newborn kitten not eating breasts? There are two reasons below. Let's take a look at how to feed kittens!
1. A newborn kitten may not find the female cat's nipples. At this time, you can touch the little cat's mouth to the female cat's nipples, so that the kitten will suck the nipples actively for a period of time, and then slowly will take the initiative to suck the nipples by itself.
In addition, if the kitten does not take the initiative to eat milk for a day, the owner can prepare goat milk powder for the kitten to feed the kitten to avoid the kitten being malnourished because of not eating milk for a long time.
2. Weak constitution
Some kittens will not eat milk because of their weak constitution. If the kittens don’t eat milk for a long time, it will easily lead to death. Therefore, at this time, you need to feed the kitten manually. You can choose goat milk powder and small bottles for pets. Fill it with hot water and feed it. A small amount is needed multiple times to avoid indigestion from the kitten.
Note: When kittens are artificially fed, they do not have the ability to defecate independently, so they need to use a cotton swab to dip warm water and gently wipe the anus of the little cat to stimulate defecation. In addition, since the kitten is too small to regulate its own body temperature, it is also necessary to keep the kitten warm to prevent the cold from causing disease.
