My kittens were sick at one time, because the mother refused to take care of them, we brought them in and.....

Question

started feeding them kitten formula, now there stool is fine, but they have crusted up stool on them, how could i get it off, can i bathe them?

Answer 1

You can bathe them, just make sure you keep them nice and warm until they dry.

Answer 2

I suggest that you bathe them using a hand towel soaked in soapy water instead of giving them a full immersion - the weather is getting a bit cooler and the shock of a full bath may have an adverse effect on the kittens. Wiping them down with a wet hand towel may take a bit longer, but is probably safer. Another alternative is to get a whole heap of cotton balls, dip them in soapy water and rubb the crusted stool off the kittens with them (if there are only a few spots to do).

Answer 3

yes you can bathe them but use warm water and be gentle if you do this often the cat will learn to enjoy bath time and hold it close to you wrapped in a towel after keep moving the towel until the cat is dry and then hold it close to you you will be surprised at the way it will respond

Answer 4

They'll hate the bath, but you could use a warm damp cloth and wipe their behinds with it. To make sure they don't get cold you could turn on the heater in your bathroom and leave them in there until they dry.

Answer 5

You're going to have to be their mother and clean them- just take a damp cloth and wipe their little butts off. They cannot do this themselves. Perhaps those gently baby bottom wipes would be good but best to check with some animal expert.

Answer 6

I suppose you could bathe them. Use lukewarm water and shampoo made just for cats, and dry them off as soon as you're done.

Answer 7

warm water on a hand towel or rag and a good wipe down
