How much should I feed my orphaned kitten?
Similarly, you may ask, what do I feed an orphaned baby kitten?
When the orphaned kittens are three to four weeksold, begin to offer milk replacer in a shallow bowl, then introducea moist, easily chewable diet. You can make gruel fromwarmed milk replacer and a high-quality dry or canned kittenfood.
Thereof, can you overfeed a newborn kitten?
DO NOT overfeed or underfeed anewborn. In most cases a kitten will alert youwhen she has had enough at individual feeding times. If youoverfeed her she will then be predisposed toconstipation, bloating, gas, diarrhea, or other seriousgastrointestinal complications. In newborns, thesecan be fatal.
Place it on a heating pad wrapped in towels and on thelowest setting, or warm a hot water bottle to about 100 degrees(wrapped in a towel) and place it with the kitten. Manyveterinarians have incubators to warm a chilled kitten. Donot feed a kitten until it is warm, since it can't properlydigest when cold.
