what do you feed a 2 week old kitten there is no mommy??????

Answer 1

Go get some kitten milk replacement from any petstore that is closest to you. I really don't prefer the powder, I usually buy the stuff that is already mixed up, it easier on me personally. Also buy the bottle to feed the kitten with, make sure to put a hole in the tip of the bottle. Feed the kitten every two to four hours, and then using a wet, warm washcloth, stimulate her bowels by rubbing gently upon her behind, so that the kitten does go to the bathroom. Make sure to have a warm, comfy spot that the kitten can rest and well pretty much just relax in and also feel safe. After, a few weeks and the teeth have come in with the kitten, start putting out some of the kmr in a bowl and dipping your finger within the bowls and then bring it up to her or him so that they learn where the now bowl of milk replacement is. Also start weaning the kitten off the milk by giving a mixture of half dry food and 1/2 of wet Pretty soon, she be running around after your toes and fingers and chomping down on them

Hopefully this helps

You do not feed it milk for sure. That causes diarrhea.

2 week old kittens do not have their teeth yet.

So get a kitty bottle or a dropper.
Buy KMR (Kitten Milk Replacement) or Kitten formula.
Follow the instructions.
Make sure the kitten is warm before feeding it. It will not eat nor can it digest when it is cold.
Make sure the KMR is warm: not too hot but not cold either.
Never feed the kitten like a baby. It will drown.
If the kitten has bubbles around its nose, it has fluids in the lungs. Tip it upside down. Some recommend swooping it headdownwards. Be careful that can risk in the brain hitting against the skull.

Do not force feed the kitten. That also can cause drowning.

Rub its back or belly very gently afterwards to cause it to burp.

You will have to stimulate it. It cannot poop or pee on its own.

To do this get a warm wet wash cloth (not a cotton ball it won't work). Get it warm and wet (not hot and not soaking). Then vigorously yet not too roughly rub the kitten's anus until it poops and/or pees.

Make sure to keep kitty warm. You can buy a heating pad and put a blanket over it. A self heating pad for the kitten. There is always hot water bottle with a cloth over it.

Also make sure just like a human baby to support its head.

You must get special kitten milk at the pet store and a small kitten-feeding bottle. Feed it every 2 hours. The milk must be lukewarm. If you have no such milk right now, use cow milk, after you boil it very well, and let it cool down, with a bit of sugar in it. After 1-2 weeks you could add some egg yolk to the milk, but if you get kitten milk you don't need to.

Answer 4

They have kitten milk at any animal supply place like petco/petsmart. You will have to get a bottle and kitten milk. Do not use regular cow milk. Also, if you bottle feed, after each feeding, take a cloth with warm water and gently massage the kittens rectum to stimulate it to go to the bathroom. This is one of the reasons why momma kittly licks the babies. Kittens will not poop without doing this. if kitten won't take the bottle right away, start with an eye dropper 1st, if still won't take bottle, take kitten to the vet.

Answer 5

first, get the kittens to a warm spot. a box and a blanket works just fine for now. You're going to have to go to petsmart, petco, walmart or any petshop to purchase milk replacement (and depending on how old they are, an animal infant feeding bottle which should be located in the same area of the store.) If they are to small to eat on their own (which is about 0-4 weeks) then with the bottle you are going to have to feed them every two hours for about the first 3-4 weeks. (but right now all you need to worry about is getting them that milk replacement powder.
If they're old enough to drink out of a bowl, just pour the milk replacement in a shallow bowl or tray (ive used the lid of a tupperware cap before, works fine too)
Now, if they have to be bottle fed then when you are feeding them gently hold them by the scruff (the skin on the back of the neck) and while sitting, lean them back slightly and put the nipple in the kittens mouth and gently squeeze since the kitten cannot suck it out by itself (dont forget to cut an "X" shape in the top of the nipple for the milk to go through!).

if you use cow milk, the kittens WILL starve to death. there are not enough nutrients in it for the kittens to survive off of.

Answer 6

You should use the long nibble that comes with most bottle kits. It works the best. Every 3 to 4 hours. And you have to make her potty after you feed her.

Answer 7

KMR is available at Walmart and other places and isn't too expensive. But that is what you need. Be careful when bottle feeding that the kitten doesn't aspirate the formula (breathe it in). Good luck.

Answer 8

ask your vet for recomendations on what sort of formula to feed it, and then bottle feed...

best of luck!
