Ok, we've had an abandoned LITTLE kitten since last week Thursday. It's eating fine and everything, but won't Poop.
We know you have to stimulate it with a warm cotton ball , etc to get it to go to the bathroom. My daughter ( the animal lover) has been taking care of it, but it's
gone once. Is this normal...???? From my experience w/ cats, they poop alot........ Any input here? Should we crush a exlax pill and give it a little or what?

When we had cats we would smear a little vaseline on the cats nose and it would lick it off. This helped with making things easier to pass.
In reading the article you might try to substitute vaseline for the meat jelly they suggest and put some on its hiney.

3|1|NO EXLAX! I had raised kittens before and what you do is take a Q-Tip with some vasaline on it and insert it slowly and just a little.... Then swril it around a little. If that doesn't work you need to take it to a vet.|RobinsCrazyWorld|robinmarie72@gmail.com|21:22:13|10/13/2010|

You should get a poop daily. If you go to long the kitten will get sick and could die.
