======================================================================
Eric kitty was born on approx ~1 July 2015, He was brought home on 16 July 2015.
Sara kitty was born on ~1 July 2015 and was brought home on 28 July.
I treat them like my children.
=======================================================
Kittens need to have their mother's milk for a minimum 15-20 days or else they will not survive.
=======================================================
Beaphar's Lactol kitten formula for young kittens or fresh boiled milk (NOT the tetra-pack milk because it contains preservatives) should be given as an alternative to mother's milk.
Add maximum 0.5 ml of colostrum supplement to the milk till the kitten turns 2 months old. Colostrum is essential to protect them from infection for their overall health.
Wet food such as MeO creamy treats or Whiskas mackerel fish in jelly, Whiskas tuna fish in jelly can be given occasionally for kittens aged 25 days old and above.
* When the kitten is more than 2 months old, you can feed the kitten with dry food pellets like Me-O Ocean fish for kittens or Whiskas Salmon pockets with milk soaked in warm water until the food pellets absorb all the water, so that it becomes easier for the kittens to eat softened food (available in Pet stores and medical shops).
* Kittens need to be fed once in every 6 hours.
* Kittens need mother's milk for at least a month for resistance against infections when they grow big. If they were not receiving mother's milk under 1 month, then they are more prone to viral infections or stomach worms. Take them to a qualified vet if the kitten is unwell or is weak.
======================================================================
* Gutwell probiotic powder can be mixed in their food. The maximum dosage is 0.5 gram per day.
* Hepatone homeopathic pellets can be put in the kittens food to strengthen their liver. Maximum dosage is 2 pellets per day.
We have successfully put powdered hepatone in the kittens food and now the kittens have grown into strong, healthy cats.
* De-worming medicine is: Fenbendazole
Fenbendazole dosage: Strictly not exceeding 0.2 ml for a kitten whose body weight is 350 grams.
When to give: It should be given 0.2 ml once a day for 3 days in a row.
Fenbendazole is a broad spectrum dewormer effective against hookworm, roundworm, tapeworm, whipworm, giardia
* Another deworming syrup is 'Nemocid (Pyrantel Pamoate) -
Nemocid dosage: Strictly 0.2 ml of Nemocid syrup is given to kittens aged 25 days and above. Make sure that the kitten or the cat does not have loose motions before giving them or else they will suffer severe dehydration.
And for cats is 0.5 mL Nemocid syrup once in every three months or twice in a year.
Duration: 0.2 mL for kittens, once in every three months.
Nemocid is effective against pinworm, hookworm, roundworm.
* Do NOT give the kittens bath for the first 3 months or else they will die due to hypothermia
