Should we help the kitten defecate?
In the absence of its parent, we, as responsible for the cat's life, must feed it, clean it, provide it with a stable temperature and if, indeed, help it defecate.
Under normal conditions, after each milk feeding, it is the mother who should help the little kitten to relieve himself, but in his absence we will be the ones who must help him, without any shame.
How do I help him have a bowel movement
After each feeding we must make sure that our kitten defecates, but how do we do it? The cat uses her tongue to stimulate this natural action of the body, what about us?
We can use a wet wipe or a cotton cloth with which we will massage the kitten's genitals gently until we see what it does your needs. It is very important that you do this every time you feed, without fail.
More things
After helping him defecate we must return the cat to the "nest" that we have prepared for him, remember that it is very important not to touch him excessively when he is very small.
It may happen that the little kitten still has some urine on his body and dirty his bed, so you should pay attention and regularly wash his space, not doing so can lead to the appearance of some diseases.
My kitten still doesn't poop
In a serious situation in which we observe that the little one does not relieve himself in more than two feedings we must go to the specialist as soon as possible veterinary. Little kittens are very sensitive and can die when we least expect it.
You must act as soon as possible if you suspect that he is not feeling well.
