Many times, after giving birth to a baby, the owners need to feed the kitten manually to ensure the healthy growth of the kitten. So do you know how to feed small cats manually?
1. Special goat milk powder for feeding pets
1. When feeding small cats manually, you first need to choose hypoallergenic pet goat milk powder, prepare a small bottle, and then brew the milk powder with warm water. When feeding a kitten, do not let it raise its head to prevent food from entering the trachea and lungs from accidentally entering the trachea and lungs. The movement should not be too fierce. Squeeze the milk juice slowly and carefully observe the kitten's swallowing movement.
2. In addition, some kittens may not use pet bottles, and it is recommended to use a syringe to feed the kittens. The specific method of use is to first use a syringe to draw an appropriate amount of pet goat milk, and then inject it drop by drop through the corner of the kitten's mouth. After the kitten swallows, it will continue to inject it. It cannot be continuously injected to prevent the milk from entering the lungs, resulting in serious conditions such as foreign body pneumonia.
3. Generally, it is recommended to feed 2-3 ml of kittens born for more than ten days, once every 2 to 3 hours. As the kitten grows older, the amount of breastfeeding can be gradually increased, but the status of the kitten needs to be observed. If symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea are caused, it is recommended to reduce the amount of breastfeeding. It is recommended to mix the milk powder a little thinner for the first time and increase the concentration after the kitten adapts.
2. Artificial stimulation of defecation
1. After feeding, the owner needs to artificially stimulate the little cat to defecate. First, wet the cotton swab with warm water, and then gently wipe the kitten's anus to promote bowel movement.
2. Under normal circumstances, small cats can only perform artificial defecation once a day. Since small cats drink milk during this period, they have less feces. As the baby cat's age increases, generally when it reaches 15 days, it is recommended that the owner perform stimulation of defecation twice a day to prevent feces from accumulating in the intestines of the baby cat and causing constipation.
3. Take warm measures
Because the little cat cannot adjust its body temperature by itself, and its resistance is relatively weak, the owner must take warm measures for it, prepare a clean and warm nest for the kitten, keep the indoor temperature at around 25℃, and prevent the cold from causing diseases. At the same time, you need to pay attention to the body temperature of the little cat, which is generally between 38-39℃. If the body temperature is too low, you need to prepare a blanket and a hot water bag for it to keep it warm.
