I have used a very small syringe of warm water to give bottle-baby kittens an enema before. Not the most dignified thing to do but it certainly helped

aTailofTwoKitties,
I thought about doing that. I just don't want to hurt her. I think more frequent feedings (every 2 hours) will get water into her and possibly moisten up her poos. If not, I just may have to do that. Just a little warm water to help her along. Her poos are so hard. It breaks my heart to see her so uncomfortable.
I tried submerging her tush in warm water and massaging her behind and belly, but it didn't work.
Here's where the sleep deprivation is going to come in again. If I was working, I'd NEVER be able to do this.
Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever.

Donna I just read this. I went through the same thing with Lucky. I gently ran my finger down his belly, after several strokes we had poo. It took me a number of times to get the length and pressure right. I would also mix the kitten formula with goats milk every other feeding about 2 parts formula to 1 milk.

Well, I gave my first kitty enema a few minutes ago. I used a syringe with some Vaseline on it (thanks Tailof2kitties) and maybe a drop or two of warm water. Then I plopped her butt in a bowl of warm water and began massaging her belly and butt. I could believe how fast it worked!! It was easy and she was SOOOO relieved. I don't mean to get graphic but she pooped out almost 3"! No wonder her belly was so big.
At least I know HOW to do it in case this happens again. Poor baby. She now full and sound asleep.
Success!!!
