baby kitten not nursing

Question
I have 3 baby kittens,2 of hem are doing great,but one will not nurse off the mother. I seen the mother cleaning it tonight so I know she would feed if it would just do it. Anything I can do? I did give it some cream with a drop of baby vitamins in it. It really didn't want it. It may have got 2 little drinks in. please let me know soon as possible if you have any ideas.

Answer
Hi Misty,

Try feeding it some Kitty Glop. I am attaching my recipe for it. Works great for raising kittens. Use it to supplement Mom's feedings. Get a kitten nursing bottle. Feed the kit 3-4 times a day and place her back with the mom afterwards. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen

KITTY GLOP




INGREDIENTS:
1 can evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed)
2 tbsp. plain yogurt (not low or non fat)
2 tbsp. mayonnaise (real not light or No-Fat)
1 tbs. Karo Syrup (light)
1 pkg. Knox gelatin
1 egg yolk (beaten, )
1 cup Pedialyte (unflavored)
1- 2 jars Stage One Baby food (chicken or turkey)

INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix milk, yogurt, mayonnaise, baby food, and syrup together well. Bring 1 cup pedialyte to boil and mix in Knox gelatin. Set aside. Mix egg yolk with small amount of milk mixture and beat well.

Add gelatin and pedialyte to milk mixture and beat well. Add in egg yolk mixture and beat well. Remember to not use egg substitute and keep egg white to a minimum.

Pour into bowl (with cover) and set in refrigerator. Glop will last for two weeks covered in refrigerator. Try freezing the mixture in ice cube trays and store the cubes in the freezer, thaw as many as needed.
Always warm glop to room temperature ,(milk form), or a little warmer, before feeding.
