feeding/nutrition

Question
I have a 5-week 5 day old male kitten that will not eat canned food, where as his 4 siblings will.  He sits curled up in a ball while they all eat.  The mother is weaning them and that is the only time that he eats, which is not very long at all...help

Answer
Tracy- Please go to the pet store and buy the cat formula that is all made up ... Give this baby some syringe feeding of formula every 3 hrs...about 5-10 cc.. Don't let him dehydrate. MOMS milk will start to dry up soon.
Also, mom will get sick of the TEETH!  OUCH..

Buy some dry kibbble - Innova for kittens / put a teaspoon of this in a dish and soak it in the formula.  See if this little one and the other kittens like it.  I bet they all will.
Innova Kitten is wonderful for all of them...ONE of the best.


As for the kittens - buy some NuVET Feline formula - this is a powder you mix into the dry or wet food each day.  It will cost you about .20 cents per kitten per day for NuVET Feline.
Thousands of BREEDERS refer new moms and dads to NuVET ..
There are over 35000 dogs and cats taking NuVET Supplements each day.
NuVET will build the immune system and keep the Virus and Bacterias away from your kittens... Keep them around a long time.
