Hello all,
I am currently raising a bottle kitten. I rescued him when he was 1 week old. He is now 3 weeks old and doing great for the most part but he hasn't pooped in 5 days. He eats great every feeding and urinates before and after each feeding when I stimulate him. He is eating about 8 tablespoons/120 mL a day and weighs around 13 oz. He sleeps great and for how old he is he is strangely super strong and pretty active. Should I be worried? Is there anything I can do to help him?

I am of absolutely no help but just wanted to wish you good luck. Hopefully someone helpful will be along shortly.

Maybe try a warm wash cloth and wipe his tummy. My daughter did that with baby rabbits. Maybe a little water . just guessing .I really wish you luck.

I know with bigger bottle-fed animals, giving enemas is not uncommon. with something as small as a kitten you'd have to be careful, but I think that might be your best bet if normal stimulation isn't helping.

You have to stimulated them, as the mom would, by rubbing is tummy with warm cloth (mom's tongue) rolling them around as you do this. …also with rear.
