FAQs About Kitten Healthcare
How often should newborn kittens be fed?
Newborn kittens need feeding every 2–3 hours initially. As they grow, the frequency reduces. Always follow milk replacer instructions closely.
What’s the best milk replacer for kittens?
Wombaroo, Divetelact and Vetafarm are popular and highly recommended. Choose a product specifically formulated for kittens, not human baby formula.
How do I keep a kitten warm?
Use pet-safe heat pads or warm water bottles wrapped in towels. Never place kittens directly on heating devices. Ensure they have room to move away from heat if needed.
Can I give supplements to kittens?
Some supplements like probiotics or colostrum may support health in young kittens, but always check with a vet before adding anything to their diet.
What if my kitten won’t feed or seems weak?
This may be a medical emergency. Contact a vet immediately for advice. Weak kittens may need tube feeding or warming before they can feed properly.
