Re: Surprise at the vets


Congratulations on your new Kittens. I am sorry to hear of the problems you are having and have no suggestions , i'm not experienced enough.It's very strange Mum isn't producing Milk.

Re: Surprise at the vets


LizzieJane, I have sent a message to someone who used to be a regular contributor here who is also a breeder. I know she has dealt with many kitten births so hopefully she'll be along soon with some advice.

Re: Surprise at the vets


Are you still letting the Kittens nurse from Mum ?
Just thinking that maybe this will stimulate the milk?
