How to care for a kitten after birth?
Temperature is very important for kittens, because the cat's body cannot generate enough heat to maintain life for the time being, so kittens generally rely on the body temperature of the cat's mother to keep warm. Therefore, parents should pay attention to whether the cat is too far away from the cat's mother, otherwise it will easily lead to loss of temperature and death.
Cats without cat mothers should pay more attention to keeping warm. Parents can lay a warm mattress on a relatively tall carton box, or even put a heating blanket, but be careful not to overheat to prevent low-temperature scalding.
If the cat mother is there, everything will be easy. The baby without the cat mother needs to take action by herself. Use medical needles and feed warm goat milk.
For newborn kittens, the average feeding volume is 2-4 ml each time, once every two hours. The specific amount can be adjusted appropriately depending on the size of the kitten. The kitten should not continue to call after eating. As the kitten grows up slowly, the amount of feeding each time should gradually increase, and the interval between feeding can also be extended.
The little cats 20 days before birth will not excrete independently. A mother's child looks like a treasure, so the mother cat will lick the lower abdomen and chrysanthemum to promote defecation. During manual feeding, you can dip a clean cotton swab in warm water after each feeding and gently massage their little butts to stimulate them to defecate and urinate.
