| 747.1 | Another 4 day old kitten | LJSRV1::MARX | | Tue Apr 19 1994 08:59 | 19 |
| Mark,
A friend of mine found a kitten about 4 days old also. She took it to
her vet and got instructions on how to feed it. She used a syringe and
did pretty much what you're doing. The feeding continued for at least
2 months. Sorry, I can't tell you how she managed nighttime feedings.
She lives out of state. I guess you have to keep up what you're doing
unless you could find a nursing mother who would take on the
responsibility.
The kitty my friend found survived just fine. My friend is the only
mother she knows since she had no exposure to other cats. Therefore,
she won't respond to anyone else. She probably should have gotten
another kitten for this cat to learn from in the early stages.
Good luck with your venture. This little kitty is lucky to have you!

| Mark,
A kitten can open it's eyes anywhere from 7 to 14 days. It depends on
the breed or what is behind it.
You could weigh the kitty and make sure it is gaining every day. You
would need to weigh at the same time each day too.
I have a set of instructions on tube feeding a kitten. The nice part
is it tells you how much total to give for the weight of the kitten.
You then divide this amount up into the number of feedings necesarry.
As it gets older, you may be able to cut out the midnite feedings.
Good luck and persevere!

| Ug. Your not telling me what I want to here! I don't mind the
feedings during the day I can either arrange for someone to do the
feedings or I can run home at lunch and feed. It's the nights that are
killing me. I need my ZZZZZ's. If she goes eight hours with out a
feeding will she die?
If I decide to keep her are you telling me I need another cat so she
will know that she is a cat?
It's funny. I just moved into a big house and I wanted to get a cat.
I have two dogs (terriers) and cats are just another squeeky toy to
them. I knew I would have to get a young kitten for them to get used
to and for it to get used to them but this is rediculas. My female
Terrier is due to Welp on the 15th of May. She hears the kitten cry
and runs to the box to make sure she is OK. She wants to mother it in
the worse way. I wish she was having the puppies this week and I would
just add the kitten to the litter and I don't think she would be any
the wiser.
Will I still be bottle feeding in a month?
Thanks for the support!

| 747.4 | Who needs sleep??? | STOWOA::FALLON | Moonsta Cattery | Tue Apr 19 1994 11:06 | 25 |
| Mark,
You can stretch the hours during the nite to perhaps getting up once.
But you can't let the kitten go 8 hours without a feeding. You could
stretch it to say five perhaps now, and then longer depending on how
she develops. Does your dog have any milk dropping down yet??;'}
It could happen!
You don't have to get another cat. You may find that you enjoy her
just the way she is!
Are you bottle feeding or tubing? Tubing takes only a few minutes and
you could feed her more quickly to get back to sleep during the nite.
May I suggest that you keep her in a box on your bed? That way she
will stay warmer and perhaps quieter being near you. Remember a baby
only cries when it is in distress!!! It is either hungry, cold or sick
at this point for crying. Don't let her go 8 hours without a feeding!
You may be sorry. Sorry for you to hear this, I have spent many
sleepless nites waiting for a cat to give birth. I can't imagine a
feeding every nite.
BTW where did you get this little kitten? Perhaps one of the kitty
shelters may have a foster mom. The only problem with this could be
either spreading or catching disease. Otherwise I would offer one of
my moms to you.

| She came out of a wood pile this weekend. Her mom ran off (I'm sure
she would be back) and her brother was dead. I did not want to leave
her there to mature and add more ferral cats to the population. I'm
trying to trap the mother and get her fixed. If she is ferral I'll
just release her again and if she seems quite enough I'll try to keep
her. As I said my dog is due to whelp and I'm VERY concerned about
desease.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Luckily enough, most diseases of the cat is not transferrable to
dogs!!! I don't think you need to worry in that instance. Now that's
good news!

| 747.7 | Welcome to the club!! | POWDML::MCDONOUGH | | Tue Apr 19 1994 14:30 | 36 |
| Ah, yes!! I remember this sort of situation VERY well!
We found our orphan when she was still wet...and she grew to be a
very feisty and beautiful dark tabby. Our Vet sez that a kitten like
this only uses one or two of it's 9 lives while her/his eyes are still
closed, so they have a 99.8% chance of making it with the right care.
What MAY be the case with the mother could be "first litter" fear. We
found that the mother of our kitten ws somewhat mentally unstable, and
she had been loose and had left more than one kitten laying where it
was born...she simply had no mothering instinct. This COULD have been
your situation..
What we did was actually take the kitten to work and feed her every 4
hours. A piece of sheepskin, hot water bottle and a Digital Christmas
Turkey box were her home and furniture for about 3 weeks...then she
started to climb out of the box, so we figgered we were home free.
We had a little bottle and the "K" liquid replacer that we bought at
a ped store...once she had the first drop, she'd hang onto that little
bottle with her front feet and almost pull the nipple off of it...
We had the unique experience of having a German
Shepherd/Doberman/Greyhound mixed breed female dog that weighed about
85 pounds who DEMANDED to be her surrogate/adopted mother. This dog
was absolutely mesmerized by the kitten when we first found her. She
came up to me, put her nose verrry gently on my hand where the kitten
was sitting, and verrry gently licked her...then she became the
'stimulator' for the kitten, much as the mother cat does. This dog was
so gentle and so loving that it was astounding. When the kitten opened
her eyes and became mobile, the dog's stomach became her bed. The dog
would not MOVE until the kitten woke up...
All in all though...it was a pretty neat experience...and the
nightime feedings didn't really do THAT much damage....

| Mark,
John brings up a good point. Feeding is important, but a kitten also
has to be "stimulated" inorder to pass it's waste material. COuld
someone that has done this before further elaborate?

| I have been stimulating her with a warm wet sponge at every feeding. Her
bodily functions are OK. She pee's everytime and she has only had one
BM in 3 days.
Back a few notes someone asked if I was tube feeding or bottle feeding.
She is taking a bottle well. She gets between .25 and .50 of a
Tablespoon of formula at each feeding.
She really is a pretty kitten. I can't wait to see her develop. I
hope the dogs accept her. Right now my male would like nothing more
then to eat her. The female of course thinks she's a puppy.

| 747.12 | She needs more food most likely. | STOWOA::FALLON | Moonsta Cattery | Wed Apr 20 1994 10:16 | 15 |
| Mark,
I would call a local vet and ask what amount to be feeding. A half or
quarter of a tablespoon is not enought per feeding. I can't remember
exactly ( I really should find my feeding chart for you) but I
think it is more like 15+ cc's per feeding. You still have to check
the weight on her to be able to determine this. I will try to look
when I get home tonite. The trouble with bottle feeding is that you
have to depend on the kitten to take in the right amount. With tube
feeding, you just measure it into a syringe and gently express it right
into the stomach. It takes hardly any time, is easy and you know the
kitten won't die from starvation.
Other than that I think you are doing a valiant job! Didn't mean to
sound negative.

| She is now averaging a 1/2 tablespoon to a full tablespoon at each
feeding. She seems fat and happy so I don't believe she is not getting
the correct amount of food. She is growing and it looks like her eyes
will open this weekend. She was VERY tiny when I found her so I'm
surprised she has made it this far.
At each feeding I feed her until she won't take anymore. I'm assuming
this means she is full. She has a tight round little belly when I'm
done.
I don't like the idea of tube feeding. I'll end up putting 10 CC into
her lung or something. The thought of putting a tube down her throat
makes ME gag. Is it easy to do? Where to I get the tube to do this?
I have to agree that it would be a lot easier then what I'm doing now!
How long do I have to stimulate her to go? When will she start doing
this on her own?
Thanks,
Mark

Mark, a fat, round little belly in kittens can mean worms, and is the
usual case of a kitten born in the wild (I went thru this with Panther,
Eirene and two of their siblings about 8 years ago).

Note 749.0 How to Tube Feed a Baby. No replies
STOWOA::FALLON "Moonsta Cattery" 58 lines 21-APR-1994 08:43
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Put kitten on cloth and place feeding tube against the kitten and
measure from the tip of the nose to the last rib. This is where the
stomach is.
2. Mark the tube with an indelible marker at that spot.
3. Weigh and identify the kitten and write down its weight.
4. Withdraw the correct amount into the syring from the container of
formula and attach the tube. The formula should be at room
temperature.
5. VERY CAREFULLY PRESS THE PLUNGER UNTIL A DROP OF FORMULA SHOWS AT
THE END OF THE TUBE.
6. Dip the tube into the container of formula. This will
act as a lubricant and the taste will also encourage the kitten to
swallow the tube. You may also use a little K-Y Jelly.
7. Working on a surface at a convenient height, take the kitten in
your left hand approximating a nursing position.
8. GENTLY press against the chin/lower jaw with the tip of your right
index finger to gently open the mouth slightly.
9. Tip the head back and begin to insert the tube. Thread the tube
down the throat UNTIL YOU REACH THE SPOT MARKED ON THE TUBE.
10. Slide your hand a bit until you are holding not only the kittens
head in your palm but also holding the tube between your thumb and
forefinger so it does not slide out. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!
11. With an even pressure, press the plunger all the way (slowly). DO
NOT REMOVE THE TUBE at the same time you are pressing the plunger.
12. To prevent the kitten from wiggling and the tube sliding out, you
must hold both firmly. While the plunger is in all the way, carefully
remove the tube.
13. The only possible trouble you can have is IF you withdraw the tube
while pressing the plunger.
Average size of a kitten at birth: 3 - 3 1/2 ounces.
AGE WEIGHT # FEEDINGS/DAY TOT. DLY.REQ. AMOUNT PER FEEDING
1WK 4 OZ. 6 FEEDINGS 32 CC. 5.33 CC EACH
2WK 7 OZ. 4 FEEDINGS 56 CC. 14 CC EACH
3WK 10 OZ. 3 FEEDINGS 80 CC. 26.67 CC EACH
4WK 1LB. 3 FEEDINGS 104 CC. 34.67 CC EACH
Note: you may not be able on the first try to get the tube inserted
into the stomach to the mark on the first try. Just pull it out and
try again. But NEVER push the plunger until the tube is inserted up to
that mark!
Good luck!

| 747.16 | No, a round belly in a newborn is good! | STOWOA::FALLON | Moonsta Cattery | Thu Apr 21 1994 11:46 | 13 |
| If this kitten is only a week or two old the worms wouldn't make it
have a fat belly. What I look for along with weighging is fat belly.
If it is round and has no loose skin wrinkles, that means it is getting
enough to eat. If the belly doesn't look roly poly, it needs more
food.
This is one of the first lessons I ever learned when having babies.
If the big belly persists, say at around six weeks you can worm with
STrongid T. This will kill the round worms but is extremely safe and
effective.
Karen,
ps, how is the little tyke today??? :'} I hope to someday see a
picture!

| She seems fine. She is eating and at this point I feel like I have
things under control. My neighbor and I have seemed to have worked out
a feeding schedule. She lives closer to work then I do so she gets the
12:00 feeding and the 2:00PM feeding. I get all others. It's a big
help.
If I start to see her fail I'll go with tube feeding but at this point
I do not think it is necessary.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I'll keep you posted over the
next few weeks. I mine as well say right now that if my dogs can not
get used to her and I feel like she is at risk of being hurt I would
like to find a home for her. She certainly will be an interesting cat
being hand raised.
Thank you again.

| Hi,
This is an update. Her eyes opened yesterday and today 4/21-22. She
is eating more at one session but not eating as often. She is going
longer and refusing to eat for up to 5 to 6 hours. She is gaining
weight and seems healthy. She has a good voice when she wants to use
it.
My neighbor is on vacation next week so it will mean I don't have to
drive back and forth over lunch to feed her. Amen.
Well that is it for now.

| Hi, It's me again. She seemed to come through the weekend fine. It's
funny, I never thought I had a chance of saving her. Her eyes are now
fully open and she is starting to check things out. My dog loves her
and is constanly trying to take her away from me and cuddle with her.
She would be sopping wet if I didn't keep the two of them seperated.
I did call the vet on Saturday because she has started to refuse to
eat. The vet said that as they get older they do not have to eat as
often and that seemed normal. She goes about 7 hours now before she
wants another shot of formula and she is eating about 2 tablespoons at
each feeing. She is continuing to gain weight and is starting to make
attempts at playing. She also purs contently once she has been fed. I
think she will be a great pet once we get over this bottle feeding.
Can someone tell me when I can start to reduce the heat for her? When
will she be able to regulate her own body temp? If she opened her eyes
at 7 days old she is now 10 days old. Should I start to reduce the
temp in her box?
How about socializing her? I figure I will toss her in with the
puppies when they are born and at least will have something her size to
relate to.
This is all new to me. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
chaning by the day.

| I believe kittens can't generate their own body heat until they
are 2 weeks old, so I would continue with the heating pad at
least until then.
Actually, it wouldn't hurt to keep the pad going til she's 3-4 weeks
old, since she's all by herself and can't cuddle with other kittens
for warmth. Just keep the pad in a place that if she gets too
warm, she can easily move off of it.
Another idea for her comfort - get a small stuffed animal so
that she can cuddle next to it - kind of a surrogate mom for her.
Looks like so far you're doing a terrific job!

| Re .21
The idea of putting her in with the puppies is an excellent idea, as
long as the Mom-dog doesn't mind...and you understand what you may be
doing to her personality......
I have a cat who was caught in the fan-belt of a car when it was a
tiny kitten. "Smokey" had to have his left front leg amputated due to
the severity of his injury, and the original owners decided to dump him
when they found out how much care he'd need as well as the cost. A
friend of mine happened to be the Vet Tech where he came to, and she
asked to have him...which they agreed to.
My friend also raises Basset Hounds...and one of the Mom-dogs just
coincidently had puppies the exact Day Smokey came home from the
hospital... Smokey the kitten, complete with bandages, moved right into
the whelping box and became "puppy-cat" #9 of the litter. He literally
became the assistant parent, helping the mom to raise the pups, and
occasionally swatting them with his remaining but clawless front paw
when they got out of line... Unfortunately, because of his constant
association with these pups, we really think Smokey may be a bit unsure
of WHAT he actually is!! While he flops around in decadent luxury with
his two girl-cat companions, and goes through the most confused and
puzzled scenes when one of them goes into heat (Smoke's finished as far
as fatherhood goes...and heats really get him puzzled..), he would as
soon hang out with the dogs as with the other cats. Just this morning 3
of my Beagles were flopped in a heap ZZZZ'ing away,and right in the
center of the pile was Smokey...upside down with his feet in the air...
He plays with the dogs too, and they all act pretty gentle with him..

| 747.24 | An Update | AKOCOA::LAJEUNESSE | | Fri May 06 1994 16:21 | 33 |
| Hi,
This is and update. It's been 3 weeks and I now have a kitten that is
starting to act like a kitten. She really is beautiful and she getting
a personality now.
She is starting to lap so I'm going to try to start to wean her this
weekend.
My female dog is due to whelp next weekend (the 15th) and I'm hoping
that the kitten doesn't cause any problems with that. She (the dog) is
so attached to the kitten that I'm afraid she might reject her puppies
and just want the kitten. My male dog is indifferent to the entire
situation. It's like he doesn't even notice the kitten at all. He was
the one that wanted to eat her the first day he saw her. He just
assumes that anything that is small and making a squeeky noise is a
squeeky toy that should be chewed up immeadiatly.
It's funny the female protects her. She will litterally bite at my
male to keep him away. This is exactly the way she acts when she has
puppies.
Well I guess that is all for now. I would like to know if there is
anyone in the market for a kitten that probably won't know that it is a
cat? I hope to keep her but it really does depend on how my dogs end
up treating her. I know that I thought I would never be able to have a
cat at my house and I wonder how they are going to react when she
really starts running around and toying with them.
Thank you everyone for your advice and suggestions.

Your dog sounds like she's displaying some nesting instincts with the
kitten. I don't think you'll have any problems with her rejecting the
puppies. I'm really glad to hear the kitten (what, no name yet?!) is
thriving!

| Mark,
If the dogs haven't hurt the kitten yet, you proabably will never
have a problem. It might be a better idea for you to keep her!
That way you will have well adjusted puppies to place. Hey,
you can say that the puppies have grown up with cats! (you sometimes
see ads for kitties saying "raised with dogs and children" like that
is supposed to mean a lot!)

| 747.27 | One last update | USCTR1::LAJEUNESSE | | Thu May 19 1994 08:34 | 30 |
| Hi,
This is just another update. This kitten is great! I have never had
one before. Her name is Olive and she is a riot. The dogs love her
and are really patient with her which amazes me. She is just now
starting to storm around the house. This morning she ran right into a
door jam when she was on one of her spaz sprints.
I think she is about 6 weeks old. She is off formula (has been for a
week) and is eating kitten canned food. She is a pig.
How long do I need to feed her kitten food? A year?
I think she is going to remain an indoor cat because there are so many
strays and she doesn't have a clue that a dog is a bad thing. She
loves my dogs, bats them and crawls on them and cuddles up to sleep
with them. I'm amazed at this as they think that all cats are
something to eat.
I guess I would do it again if I had to. The first couple of weeks are
tough but after that it's all down hill. I called the vet and they
said they wanted to see her at eight weeks old. So I'm assuming she
needs her first shot then. What about testing her for things? I'm
going to have them check for worms but other then that should I worry
about feline Luke or anything like that?
Thanks to everyone for the moral support!

| Well, seeing as you found her in the wild, I would definitely test
for Feline Leukemia - if the mother had it, then the kitten most likely
will have it too. Hoping for only the best though!! I'm not sure how
old they have to be to be tested - 8 weeks may be too young for
anything to show up - ask your vet. Also have them test for Feline
Aids. Both Leukemia and Aids are contagious to other cats (not dogs,
so you don't have to worry about that!)
good luck,
Pam

| Mark,
She sounds absolutely wonderful!! Most kittens are I must confess.
It seems that the "tone" of your note has turned into one of much more
excitement in a happier way!
See what the vet says, but you need only feed kitten food for the first
six to eight months. You don't want her to get too fat!
BTW, did your dog have her puppies??? How are they all doing and has
the kitty found them yet?
regards,
Karen

| My dog had puppies on Tuesday. She has 3, one male and two females.
The kitten hasn't found them yet. I'm keeping them separated for now.
When the puppies are 4 weeks old or so then I will introduce them. I'm
sure it will be a free for all once they get their coordination.
Bummer about feline luke and aids. I figured she would have died right
off if she had anything like that.
The thought of going through all of this and then having to deal with
that would be a real bummer.

| Don't be bummed out until you get the results back. Chances are that
she's OK. Even if she tests positive, get her tested again in
6 months or so - sometimes you can get a false positive. The main
thing is to know up front what you're dealing with and for her not
to roam free outside if she is positive, which could expose her to
other cats and potentially give them the disease. Some cats are
just carriers and never get sick.
But enough bad news - keep your chin up - I'm sure she'll test out
just fine.
So, can we assume that you're officially keeping her?? :-)
Pam

| She is officially mine. After all this I wouldn't let her go. She is
great but with all of this testing stuff I don't want to get to
attached but, it's too late. She is a riot. The dogs don't know what
to make her her. She is the crab thing that is a furry frenzy.
Everyone is getting along just fine. That was my big concern.
Thanks everyone.

| Hi,
I just talked to someone that reads this file often and she asked me
about Olive. I thought I should update this and let everyone know how
she is doing.
(I just read through this string of notes and I honestly should learn
how to spell.)
It's been about a year since I found her. I think I found her on the
16th of April.
She is as rough with the dogs as they are with her. The only problem
we had is that at some point her tail was broken from one of the dogs
being too rough. Since that time she has discovered her claws and if
things get too rough she uses them. This seems to have put some
balance back into the rough housing.
She is a strange bird. She is VERY friendly and attached to me. She
has to see/meet someone a number of times and spend a significant
amount of time with them before she will allow them to pet her. Once
she knows you she is VERY friendly. She won't hide with new people in
the house but she will be stand offish and not let stangers touch her.
For the most part she thinks she is a dog. She has had no exposure to
cats and really doesn't know what to make of the local cats that come
into the yard.
One of her favorite place to hang out is on the roof of the
house. She is also loves to climb trees. She will also come from
ANYWHERE in the house to watch the toilet flush. I don't know what the
fascination is but when you flush she comes running.
My vet says he is surprised she has done as well as she has. He
said having to raise her from such a young age she would be more apt to
be sickly because she didn't have much of a chance to nurse from her
mom and get the natural immunities from her.
She is a piece of work. She was well worth the time and effort it took
to pull her through.
Thank you everyone for the suggestions and support in the early days
with her.

| Mark,
I remember when you got the little imp! Glad things have worked
out so well for. You weren't so sure it would work with the dogs!
