Kittens

First, it is really difficult to feed a newborn kitten, but it is very obedient if it is raised. The most critical thing we must do when feeding a kitten is to keep it warm, and we had better put a lamp for heating in the kitten's nest and then wrap the kitten with a blanket.

Second, if we do not have a heating lamp inside the home, then you can also use a small electric blanket, and then we have to set the temperature of the electric blanket in low gear, we have to cover it with a towel, and then we put an ordinary blanket, put your cute kitten on the blanket.

Third, the newborn kitten is very weak, the most fear is the emergence of germs of a kind, many people tend to ignore this detail, so we should pay attention to the kitten's health. When we are ready to touch the kitten, it is recommended that you wash your hands with soapy water for at least two minutes.

Fourth, the kitten litter inside the blanket we should be carefully replaced every day, which is also to ensure the hygiene of kittens, it is recommended that we should preferably change the blanket used by kittens every morning, and then we wash it well with hot water soap, and dry it in the sun. Fifth, the newborn kittens we will feed with milk, in fact, this is wrong, will seriously affect the health of kittens, we should use special cat milk powder for feeding, which is conducive to the growth of healthy kittens, now supermarkets inside this kind of goods, you can go to buy some.

Sixth, the newborn kitten's body resistance is very poor, very sensitive to temperature, so we must feed their kittens, the milk temperature control, the temperature should be maintained and the kitten's body temperature is about the same, do not feed the kitten cold milk. Seventh, feeding new kittens should be fed with a special bottle, you have to break open the mouth of the kitten when feeding it with a kitten bottle, and then put the teat in before you can, some kittens do not suck the milk, then you can squeeze the bottle first to let the milk flow out some, the kitten will start to eat milk.

Eighth, any small pet we buy home, we must pay attention to one thing, that is, we must play vaccination, whether it is a kitten, or a puppy must be this point. Because this is not just to kitten disease prevention, but also for the health of everyone's family!

The question is how to raise two-week-old kittens, then it should be in the absence of a mother cat. A two-week-old kitten should have just opened its eyes, or even not fully opened them yet. Kittens at this stage still need to drink milk and defecate with the help of the mother cat to do so. It is recommended that kittens be placed in a padded cardboard box and that the padding be changed regularly. Feeding can be troublesome, as several kittens at home were eating whenever they wanted and started crawling around after a few bites, so it is difficult to determine how many times a day it is better to feed them. So it is recommended that the subject use a smaller bottle to brew goat's milk and then feed it when it is cold, five to ten milliliters each time, four or five times a day is better. You can also imitate the mother cat to lick the kitten's excretory organs to promote excretion, and gently wipe the kitten's excretory organs with wet paper towels or warm wet towels (be careful not to be accidentally injured) If you do not help the kitten to excrete, you may need to change the mat more diligently, because the kitten will unconsciously pull itself to the mat. However, kittens in this period will not poop, it is all liquid excrement. At four weeks, you can use goat's milk to make soft kitten food for kittens to eat. We recommend Royal milk cake, which smells like milk and a thousand four will forget motherhood and her children to grab food. At this time you can actually put the litter directly in a very low container on the kitten's floor, and when the kitten defecates promptly mention him to the litter box or put some excrement into the litter box, the kitten will be untutored.
