Need opinions or advice to ease my mind.
Hey, new here. Also my first time owning a pet.
July 3rd, I adopted a kitten, about 4 weeks old starting today. A friend of mine told me about a cat that gave birth to some kittens on June 7th. I was happy to take one.
I bought him alot of things ahead of time. A bed, a mesh play pen, litter (though I bought clumping litter and didn’t know it’s bad for 4 week old kitten. I have some paper litter on the way.) And I even got him wet kitten food. The brand I give him is Weruva, the Shreds flavor. I give him about a teaspoon with some warm water mixed in it every 4 hours.
I keep him in my room since he’s so young and new. First day, I had a little problem with him. He was peeing but he wasn’t pooping. Early July 4th, around 9AM. I took him to an emergency vet since clinics were closed. They taught me the stimulation trick, the first time it didn’t work but after they fed him and tried it again. He finally pooped.
I took him back home and continued the normal routine, tried the trick a few times after he ate and he still hasn’t pooped. I’m not too worried because they told me kittens usually only poop once a day, but I’m still very cautious about him.
As I’m typing this, I just fed him and am about to try and stimulate him to pee or poop. I also have some KMR on the way because I read that it’ll be good to mix it with his wet food.
I’m just looking for advice and opinions to help me ease my mind about how I’m doing. Anything is greatly appreciated and I will answer any questions! Thank you!
Just to make it clear, I’m not asking medical questions.
