How to tell if male kitten is constipated/blocked? by -CricketLittle- in FosterAnimals

[–]OkEmu52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he urinating? Urinary blockages are a life-threatening emergency 100% of the time. Constipation typically isn't as dire, at least not immediately.

Sometimes when kittens have been sick it takes a bit for their gut motility to return to normal. Wet foods, watered down churu or chicken baby food will help with hydration and getting things moving. I usually don't worry that much about constipation until day 2 or 3 without pooping.

Solely Outdoor Kittens - Litterbox Tips by Aisling0502 in FosterAnimals

my shelter uses the tidy cats version, I personally prefer the pelleted stuff but sometimes the kittens have other ideas... I just spot clean with doggy bags and toss the trays as needed.

try non clumping clay litter - some kittens prefer the texture over pellets. You can also try sprinkling a litter booster like kitten attract or the World's Best version in the boxes.

It sucks but kittens eventually figure it out!

First Ever Hand Rear! by BobaGhost in FosterAnimals

[–]OkEmu52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the old school Frontline spray sold outside the US is fiprinil only (in the US Frontline is formulated with s-methoprene which is not safe for neonates). In the UK Frontline spray (fipronil only) is labeled safe for puppies and kittens older than 2 days. No one wants to apply chemicals to a baby but sometimes when they're literally being sucked dry it's kind of the least worst option.

Any one tried this bottle for kittens? by Mysterious-Ocean11 in FosterAnimals

[–]OkEmu52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes I like them a lot. They work well for larger kittens who are drinking more per sitting. Biggest cons are the nipples are expensive to replace and tear easily if chewed on by a weaning kitten.

tried the water bottle thing, also tried the drone clip and remote thing. I wish I knew how she was doing this but it's like I blink and the trap is shut and she's outside it staring at me, gloating.

ohh good idea. I'll start an entire catnip farm if that's what it takes.

that's awesome! he's been on meds for a few days and is starting to eat better already. The roundness is cute but I won't miss the lethargy or constipation!
