Our Five Day Old, Abandoned Kitten Has Not Had A Bm Yet Today. We've Tried Rubbing The Kitten And Then Using A Warm Rag. How Long Can They Safely Go Without A Bm? And How Dangerous Is This Situation? Any Suggestions On How To Make Her Have A Bm?

Kittens don't have SOLID BOWEL MOVEMENTS until they are about 6 or 7 weeks old. The solid bowel doesn't come until they eat solid food. For now, this kitten is doing what it is supposed to do. If you are feeding it bottled milk from the "large pet store" chain, then you are doing the right thing, if you have a bottle for it. They need a LOT of attention, and they will think of you as MOM, so don't get short tempered with the baby. When the time comes to teach baby where to go potty,(about 7 weeks) then you have to take the kitty to the box several times a day. I would take the baby for you, but... I live way to far away for you to just send it across the street. If you have any questions, call one of the 24 hour vet hospitals in your area. I wish you the best of luck with baby. Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!!!

I took my kitten to the vet and I had to give him enemas to get him to go to the bathroom he is now one month old and just rubbing him with a rough paper towel he will push and go himself you have to make him poop or he will not survive and a safe amount of time is like 1to 2 days try sticking his botty in a cup of warm water he will go!!!
