To A. Gannon who shows how to help a small kitten poop. I Absolutely Love Your Description!! You know exactly what you're doing and you don't hurt the kitten because you're gentle,. These knuckleheads who call you stupid names, don't have a clue. Clueless sad sacks. Everyone of them. I feel sorry for them. You however, should get an Academy Award for that description. You Rock!!

The first most important thing to look at is if the kitten is active, playful and has a good appetite. Constipated animals will tend to eat little and be less active. At 5 weeks you should be transitioning her to solid food. If she is only on KMR she may not be getting enough nutrition to have any "left over" to defecate for her calorific needs. If she is on a solid food and she is active, playful and eating well, then you can add a little fiber to her diet (such as a little puree pumpkin - no more than a teaspoon/feeding). You can also water down canned food to make sure she is getting enough fluids. If she is not as playful and not eating well then she should be examined by a veterinarian to make sure she isn't dehydrated, constipated or sick. I hope this helps!

As a newborn kitten i can tell you from experience that although i can't intentionally go to the toilet myself for the first few weeks, i can certainly have some accidents during my sleep and i can wake up covered in my own poop after sleeping in it for a few hours. I definitely need a bath and a blow dry. When helping me to do poops and pee pee, my backside can become very sore if you are too rough with me or use material that is too harsh. Much better if you try to make me go to the toilet under a warm running tap. I get a to do my business and you clean me at the same time.

Ah, this help, my cousin’s father had found a litter of kittens in his wall. I got two, but couldn’t find the others. My cousin kept one, which is bigger then mine. They seem healthy, since they walk, are meowing at a good volume, have kinda been eating and drinking, kinda. She won’t drink directly out of the bowl, but I gave her some tuna, and she drunk it dry, and would eat a few small pieces. I thought she was around 2 months, but I’ve been told that they look and act younger. She hasn’t used the bathroom since I got her, and she’s always in my arms and cuddling me.

Up to how many weeks do you have to massage their bellies? I just got 2 foster kittens. They are in great health and eat by themselves but I'm not sure if I still need to massage their bellies. I think they are 6-8 weeks old. Also, while I'm at work, I don't want them to starve but I read that you shouldn't leave food out for them to eat all day on?

Hi, I know that this is a late comment but I must ask is it ok for my kittens to not be peeing after every feeding? And how can I ensure that they will? I stimulate them after every feeding and they will pee ALMOST every time. I’m also worried over the fact that it’s been about 2 days since they last pooped. I’m stimulating them but they dont seem to want to go. I have olive oil at home, can I add that to the formula? I saw in the comments someone was adding oil to the formula to better encourage them to poop. We can’t go to the vet for another 5 days, so is there any help in the meantime? They are 2 weeks old btw. Sidenote: Ive heard so many different things about when to feed these kittens some say every 2 hours others every 4 which am I to follow?

Hi Victoria - thank you for watching and for taking care of the kittens! Kittens vary when eliminating, so just be patient. Continue to stimulate with a soft, damp, warm cloth. It can take awhile. As for a feeding schedule, it depends o how old they are and how much they weigh. Here is a chart for you to consult: www.maddiesfund.org/assets/documents/Institute/Kitten%20Bottle%20Feeding%20and%20Stomach%20Capacity%20Chart.pdf

In this case you can try 1-2 small drops of mineral oil after a meal until they poop. Be sure and discontinue the mineral oil after they defecate. We also strongly recommend having the kitten seen by a veterinarian. The sleep is fine - when they grow they do tend to sleep for longer and 5-6 hours is fine.

All their fluid requirements should be met by the formula they are fed. As the kitten is beginning the weaning process, free choice water can be provided in a small bowl that is difficult to spill. Until the kitten is starting to show signs of eliminating on its own (wet spots on their bedding) they need to be stimulated after every feeding. They start to eliminate on their own around 3-4 weeks. I hope this helps!!

How old is the kitten? Usually, they start pooping on their own when they are 4-5 weeks old. I'm taking care of an orphan 3-week old kitten and was advised to give the kitten 2-3 drops of karo (light corn) syrup. You'll want to mix it in lukewarm water because it's a thick liquid. Then you put a couple drops in their bottle with the formula. It helped my kitten out but if your kitten still isn't pooping I would seek help from a vet. Other helpful tips are: -make sure the kitten is provided a warm environment -kitten formula is the right temperature -stimulating the kitten before feeding and 15 minutes after I would highly recommend that you check out “kittenlady” on KZread. Her videos are extremely helpful.

hey there maddie's institute. my newborn kitten is approximately 12 days old and we just got her 2 days ago and since then she has not defecated. she has urinated a lot and is eating well but has yet to defecate. also the kitten has begun to sleep a lot more like 5-6 hrs before she wakes up. is this normal?

Thank you for watching the video. Sometimes it can take up to 30 minutes of gentle stimulation with warm water and a soft cloth. You can also try diluting his formula a bit and see it that helps. We recommend that a veterinarian see him so as to rule out any physical blockage. We wish you good luck!

I think he might have an infection, you could get it checked out by a vet if you want but I think there is ointment for it. I still recommend bring it to the vet though. This is very serious though if it's an infection.

Either. Some recommend to do it before eating; others afterwards. Main thing is to keep the kitten warm.

I found this on a google search. I got an orphaned kitten 2 weeks ago yesterday. When I got her she seemed to be only 2-3 days old and that was pretty much confirmed when about 4 days later her eyes opened. I have been bottle feeding her kitten formula of course. I've been stimulating her from the start to help her urinate. During the last 2 weeks she had pooped once and it was just a small pasty ball, tha was about a week ago. Then maybe 3 days ago I woke up and found that she'd pooped a lot all over her box. Do you think that means that she can poop on her own now? Also I was googling this because I was concerned that she wasn't pooping every day, but now that I watched this I'm not so worried. But her stomach was really swollen and I wasn't sure if it was just because she ate a lot, or if she was constipated. I feel a lot better after watching this I am not nearly as worried and her stomach isn't as big today. So I think she just over ate. I do have a few questions. During the first week or so I fed her every 2-3 hours most of the time. Everything I read says I should feed her x amount per day per body weight. I do not have a way to get her weight. I'm guessing that she is about 2 weeks and 3-4 days old. At this point how often would you estimate i should be feeding her and how much? I have fallen in love with her and I want to do right by her. I am so glad that my neighbor who found her brought her to me. She knew I had cats and that I would know what to do. And while I for the most part did, I still researched it more just to make sure I was doing it right. I also have our momma cat, she is the mother of the other cats we have, they're all 3-4 years old now. But my point is that from the day I got her, if our cat Tiga heard her crying she'd come over and I'd put her down in front of her and she'd give her a bath and even stimulate her to go to the bathroom and clean it up. She of course cannot nurse her, but she seems to be trying to help lol. I think it's cute. But for the most part I do most of it. I did learn something here about the stimulating, because I didn't have her on her back it was more of staight up and down, but now I see the way you had the cat posititioned and that helps. So if she pooped about 3 days ago I shouldn't be so worried quite yet that she hasn't again? It was a lot but it was light brown and it was pasty not hard or too runny. I named her Luna and my husband says I can keep her . Thanks for your info here it helped a lot. I wish there was a way to show you a picture of her. She's mostly grey tabby but she's got calico markings, which is how I knew she was female from the get go. also everything I read said to keep her warm but to avoid over heating. I had this heating pad, the kind you stick in the microwave with the beans or whatever they are in it. And it just happens to look like a cat lol. So when I put her to bed I heat it up to the right temp and she cuddles up with it. I let her sleep with me one night, cuddled up next to me, and I'm a mother of 4, I know how to sleep without rolling over onto her, plus I don't roll anyway. Point though is, that even though she slept like a rock I got peed on, so that doesn't fly anymore. She sleeps in a box right next to my bed. So then one other question I have is should I be waking her up during the night to feed her? I was wondering about that when I first got her, because it said every 2 hours. And I did try to get up with her a few times a night. But for the most part she sleeps through the night. Should I let her, or should I wake her up a few times a night to feed her? She seems perfectly healthy and not dehydrated at all. Ok I know this is a lot of info and questions. Sorry about that.

I found a baby raccoon, she's less than a week old and has a swollen belly and I was wondering if this could also work on her?

Hello Shannon! How great you are taking care of such a young kitten! I would let it sleep and wake up on its own - but monitor him/her frequently. Thanks for caring for the little kittie!

My kitten is about two weeks old do they poop at this time or no because I’ve had him for two days now and he hasn’t pooped at all but he has Peed

If they are not having diarrhea they will poop about 1 time a day only. They should pee everytime they eat.

Hopefully your kitten has had normal elimination since you wrote your comment. If not, please consult your veterinarian. There may be a blockage. Good luck!

My kitten pooped one time, and now he has a swollen belly am thinking he ate too much

My kittens are 3 weeks old now, is it too soon to start them on caffeinted beverages? I noticed they started cleaning themselves a little bit and introduced them to the litter box.

U don’t need a stupid litter box just toilet train ur cats

Hi! We found three kittens about two-three weeks old and unfortunately we lost one of them (which was doing really good). When he died he pooped yellow liquid. Now the other kitten faces the same problem, what can we possibly do?

Thank you for watching the video and taking care of the kittens. Please consult with your veterinarian - he or she would be the best to give you advice.

This is a strange question, but what should I do if a kitten is defecting by itself and then it gets stuck halfway? Is it okay to pull it out or what should I do?

Hi John and thank you for watching the video. You can gently stimulate the kitten's anus with a warm, soft, damp cloth to remove the poop. You might also make sure its diet isn't causing constipation or blockage. You might try diluting the formula or its wet food a bit.

We just found an abandoned kitten with eyes and ears closed, probably around 7 days old, a few hours back. We feed her every 2hours about 1-2ml of milk/water mix. Shes has not peed or pooed yet. Have tried stimulation without any success. Will try again. In our area Cat Milk Replacer is not readily available, can I try Dog Milk Replacer?

Hello Neeraj, thank you for taking care of the kitten! Sometimes it takes a kitten awhile before the stimulation works - be patient and gentle, and use a warm, wet cloth. Sometimes it takes up to 30 minutes. Do not use dog milk replacer. Here are some recipes you can try: www.maddiesfund.org/assets/documents/Institute/Orphaned%20Kitten%20Emergency%20Milk%20Replacer%20Recipes.pdf

My orphan kittens are 3-4 weeks old and they are feeding on kitten milk supplement. They are very energetic and playful and they urinating well but they didn't eliminate from last 3-4 days at all. I tried many a times. What should I do? Plz reply me

Thank you for watching. The first most important thing to look at is if the kitten is active, playful and has a good appetite. Constipated animals will tend to eat little and be less active. You might try diluting the kitten supplement. At 5 weeks they should be transitioning to solid food. If they are only on KMR they may not be getting enough nutrition to have any "left over" to defecate for their calorific needs. When they are on a solid food and are active, playful and eating well, then you can add a little fiber to their diet (such as a little puree pumpkin - no more than a teaspoon/feeding). You can also water down canned food to make sure they are getting enough fluids. If they are not as playful and not eating well then they should be examined by a veterinarian to make sure they aren't dehydrated, constipated or sick. I hope this helps!

I just got a new foster kitten yesterday, about 3 weeks old. she takes the bottle well but had not peed.I tried cotton balls ,warm wash cloth,tissue. Finally took her to the vet, he was able to express her pee by squeezing her bladder. she had so much!! so now I'm home and have tried to stimulate her to pee and nothing. I don't know what else to do. any thoughts ??

+The Pirate Persian hi! I just kept at it, I started with a soft baby wash cloth dipped in warm water, I counted from 30 backwards, I realize it just took her a little longer to go. now she's going in the litter box! it goes by so fast;)

I got a 3 week old kitten 2 days ago and she hasn't peed or pooped even after trying this I'm not sure what to do because she's been feed and super playful. Please let me know what's else I can do!

Thank you for watching the video and for taking such good care of your kitten! Sometimes it takes up to 30 minutes of gentle stimulation with a warm, damp, soft cloth. There may be blockage issues and we recommend a visit to your vet. Her food may need to be diluted, too.

Hi Lalaine - thank you for watching and for taking care of the little one. Your problem is not uncommon. Sometimes it takes awhile to gently stimulate with a warm wet cloth before the kitten poops.

We wish you every success!

Thanks for watching the video, and for caring for the kitten. It could be that she just needed a little more gentle stimulation with a warm, damp cloth. Sometimes it takes awhile! You can also try adding extra water to her food in case she is dehydrated. If that doesn't work, please consult with a veterinarian.

I'm sorry but did you say 34 weeks or days? 'Cause I remember having two month old kittens and they can manage themselves.

I NEED HELP!!!!! my mother saved newborn kittens they don't have their eyes or ears open yet and three of them already died we only have two left.they are really bloated and they're not moving around a lot I'm really worried.try to make them poop but it doesn't work then when I pick them up to feed them again out of their box there already urinated all over themselves.

Dear Auggy, we have been away so apologize for not responding sooner. Newborns' eyes do not open until 7-10 days. Ears are fully erect at 3 weeks. The bloated kittens may have a blockage and it's important to have a vet see and treat them. Keep them warm and gently stimulate them before and after feeding. It is sad but not uncommon for an orphaned kitten to not survive. But please consult a vet if you haven't already done so. Good luck and thank you for taking care of them!

My cats about 4 to 5 weeks old. Do I need to bottle feed it and help it use the bathroom like in vid?

Hello and thank you for taking care of the kittens! Yes, you should bottle feed them and gradually introduce wet food. Please keep them warm otherwise they cannot digest their food.
