In the first days the life of newborn kittens completely depends on cats who are considered as one of the most loving and responsible mothers in fauna. However sometimes their maternal instinct does not work for any reason, and the cat can refuse feeding of the kid.
Instruction
1. Quite often cats do not feed tiny kittens who were born sick or impractical. Usually it is 1-2 kittens on all okot – at the same time to force mother to feed such children it is almost impossible as at cats natural instincts are strongly developed. Also the refusal of feeding can be connected with too difficult delivery – if the cat is unhealthy, weak and feels pain, it will not spend force for bringing up of kittens until recovers. If process of recovery takes a lot of time, the cat can lose simply milk or interest in kittens. Influence the feeding and physical/psychological injuries got by a cat during childbirth.
2. Besides, the cat can refuse to feed kids if the surrounding situation seems to her unsafe – for example, at the house there is other animal, around is too noisy or kittens are constantly taken on hands and so on. The given rise cat needs to provide the cozy and closed from public eyes place where she will be able to be given to happiness of motherhood completely. If the cat did not get physical injuries, childbirth took place successfully, and around the most favorable situation, try to lay it on one side and to palm off to nipples of kittens – very often it works also a maternal instinct though with delay, but joins.
3. If no above-mentioned ways work, kittens should be brought up independently. It is possible to replace cat's milk by means of 50 g of whole cow's milk, 2.5 g of dry yeast and 15 g of whole powder milk. It is also possible to mix an egg yolk from 0.5 l of the concentrated milk and 4 tsps of granulated sugar or to part the concentrated powder milk with cream in fennel broth. Mix from 50 g of the whole hard-boiled egg, 1 g of vegetable oil, 50 g of the beaten egg white and 4 g of glucose will become good replacement. Raw cow's milk is not recommended to be used for feeding categorically.
4. It is possible to feed kittens by means of the special small bottle and a pacifier which are on sale in veterinary pharmacies – it is also possible to use the syringe without needle or the plastic eye pipette which were previously sterilized by boiled water. The stock of food needs to be prepared a day, no more, and to store it in the fridge, warming up up to 38 OS before feeding. It is very important that kittens learned to suck independently liquid through a narrow opening. In the first few days life they have enough 1 tsp of dairy mix each 2 hours.
