Constantly Hungry

[WolfQueen55]

I have a new kitten Athena. She is about 7 weeks old and is constantly hungry. Whenever I feed her she acts like she hasn't eaten in days. I'm getting worried, and its not like I dont feed her. I feed her up to four times a day. Any suggestions?

It could be several things:

1. Are you feeding her kitten food? There are more nutrients in there for growing babies, and she should have wet AND dry. Some pet stores will give you free samples to see what she likes best.

2. She is growing, and needs a lot more "fueling". Is she overly thin?

3. Has she been to the vet? She may have a worm in her digestive system that is eating a lot of the food and leaving her hungry. Call your vet and take a stool sample in to be checked. If she hasn't had shots or a checkup yet, take her AND a fresh stool sample.

If she hasn't seen a vet at all, that would be first on the list! Babies need their checkups!
