Every cat lover knows that kittens need breast milk for about a month, but what if the kitten at home doesn't take breast milk? At this time, the cat's gastrointestinal tract is relatively fragile and can only eat breast milk or soft food. The following editor will explain to you

Feeding method: No matter which method you use to feed your baby, the most important thing is not to let milk flow into the kitten's lungs. Grasp the kitten's stomach with your hands, place it on its stomach, and gently lift its head.

1) Spoon feed This is a very slow process that requires a lot of patience. Every time the milk from the spoon is slowly poured into the kitten's mouth, it should not be poured too fast to prevent the milk from flowing into the kitten's lungs. department. The kitten's head cannot be raised too high, otherwise it will enter the lungs. The newborn cat was stunted. There is no sign of sadness or coughing as the milk is fed into the lungs. It is suitable for weak kittens who won't suck.

2) Use a syringe to drip milk, similar to the spoon feeding method, suitable for weak kittens who cannot suck, but it is cleaner and faster. Put the little milk into the needle and put it into the cat's mouth drop by drop so that the kitten can swallow it. Record the amount of each feed. If the kitten knows where the milk is coming from, it may start cleaning the needle and sucking it out. At this time, you'd better replace it with a bottle.

3) Bottle feeding Breastfeeding kittens prefer to use more natural feeding methods. Kittens will feed themselves until they are full. The size of the nipple hole is very important and you will need to drill it yourself. The hole is the size of an inverted bottle. Only use one drop of milk at a time. If the hole is too big, milk will flow out of the hole, allowing the kitten to breathe into the lungs. If you need to squeeze the bottle to get the milk out, if the hole is too small, the kitten won't be able to get enough to eat

4) Feeding tube feeding This is the simplest, cleanest and fastest method, but it requires the right tools and skilled techniques to prevent milk from flowing into the lungs. If the kitten is very weak, sometimes he can only be fed.

Every time you feed your baby, it is best to wipe the kitten's mouth with a warm, moist paper towel to remove the fallen milk. Don't eat too much at once, especially in the beginning. After feeding, use one hand or a dry towel to massage the cat's body, imitating the movements of the mother cat, or pat the kitten's side until it takes a nap.

All cat lovers should remember that if their cat does not take breast milk, all cat lovers should not feed their cat casually. They can try breast milk first using the above method. If your pet cat still won't eat, they can ask their veterinarian for advice on what to do and what food to eat.
