<<The baby seems to have brain damage or something tho, because its not the mom, its the baby. She will root around for food for a few minutes and then she gets lost and wanders off. We have even put her on a nipple, and she just sort of turns away and wanders off. The mom meows and seems to take care of it the best she can. Ive really been paying attention lately. So i feed her the forumula when she complains and i leave the rest up to Skittles since she is taking care of her as she is suppose to. I had no idea cats had issues with babies, i thought they just had kittens and she kept them hidden till they got a bit bigger. This is rouph! >>
Remember that it's a bottle feeder kitten. They're remarkably dumb. Even the ones that grow up to be Einsteins are notoriously difficult when it comes to keeping them focused on that food source. I've found using a 3cc luer slip medical syringe works best - ask your veterinarian for a few. That way you can measure amounts and the slip end is very easy for kitten to get his mouth around.
Don't forget stimulating the little guy to go to the bathroom, that's a vital part of the process. Food in the top, waste products out the bottom, keep the whole warm, dry and clean. Repeat every couple hours until you're too exhausted to see straight.
