please I need help I have 2 kittens thier mother died yesterday what can I do
Then you need a nursing bottle with a good sturdy nipple. Use a large sewing needle, not a knife or scissors to make a hole in the nipple, as the resulting hole will be far too large to feed the kitten without drowning it. The flow from the pierced nipple should be a steady flow of drips.
Droppers or syringes can also be used, if the kitten rejects the nipple. Never force fluids into the kitten's mouth as they may end up in its lungs.
Newborns are fed every four hours. Feed the kitten until it settles down and its tummy is full but not distended, then gently remove the nipple and rub the kitten gently but briskly all over with your hand or a rough dry washcloth. If the kitten doesn't immediately begin to complain and nuzzle for more milk, it is fed. Continue rubbing or patting until you get a burp.
Since kittens don't usually use a litter box until around three or four weeks of age, you will have to help them empty bladder and bowels. With the kitten on a towel in your lap, lightly rub the kitten's body with a rough, dry washcloth. (At that point, the kitten may roll over or otherwise present its bottom to you.) With a generous handful of soft tissue (also to be kept handy at all times) gently stroke the kitten's behind, keeping the tissue in contact. The kitten should oblige by urinating or defecating. The kitten's bladder should be emptied both immediately before and fifteen minutes after each feeding. Evacuation of the bowel may take a day or two before you are successful. Once the kitten has the hang of it, it should defecate after meals.
