Colostrum
If at all possible newborns should receive colostrum (first mother’s milk) in the first 24 hours. This will provide antibodies necessary to provide protection against future infections.
General recommendations
- Always boil water before reconstituting the Wild CatGro. Allow cooling time
- Reconstituted Wild CatGro should be fed at 38-39°C (body temperature). Use a thermometer
- Do not microwave. Warm bottle in a hot water bath
- Clean ALL feeding utensils and equipment after each feeding: rinse in lukewarm water, wash with a detergent in hot (80°C) water, rinse with clean water (ideally a weak bleach solution) and dry thoroughly with a ‘clean’ towel
- Reconstituted Wild CatGro may be refrigerated up to 24 hours
- Discard any unused portion after 24 hours
- Observe stool consistency to monitor concentration of milk being fed
- If stools become too firm consult your veterinarian or nutritionist for advice
- Monitor weight regularly to guarantee that they are consuming enough Wild Cat-Gro
- If cats are not gaining enough weight consult your veterinarian
- If cubs are crying excessively, they may not be getting enough to eat or they may be too cold
- Cubs need assistance to help urinate and defecate for the first 2 weeks of life after each feeding. You need to assist by using a warm moist cotton ball and massaging the cub’s abdomen and anal area until they urinate and or defecate
- You must be persistent, this is very important to the kittens well being
- Consult your veterinarian for any signs of disease, fever, parasites, or irregulars
- Fresh, clean water should be available at all times, starting at 3 weeks of age
