I know how to feed and make pee and poo etc.

BUT there is no special milk and any sort of equipment for kittens in Duhok. And I can't prevent Pirouette to feed them : how to do without separating them definitively ? and where ?

The best is to let Nature doing its job : if 1 of them is A type blood it will survive. If not, both will die.

I imagine Pirouette has the same one lover :ymdevil:

Feeding in a Pinch

Most emergency formulas are not nutritionally balanced for a kitten, so you should feed your kittens emergency formula for only as long as it takes you to get some kitten milk replacement formula -- hopefully no more than 24 hours. Mix 1 ounce each of condensed milk, water and plain yogurt with an egg yolk to make a quick and easy emergency formula with common pantry items. Warm this formula for a minute in the microwave and allow it to cool until it is feels comfortable when you place a drop or two on the inside of your wrist; don't serve the formula too hot, as it could burn your little one.

Bottle Babies

When feeding your little kitten emergency formula, it would be ideal to do so from a kitten nursing bottle. Unfortunately, if you are in a situation where you don't have one handy and can't obtain one, an eye dropper can do in a pinch. You can also use a syringe without a needle to drop the formula into the little one's mouth a drop or two at a time. Remember to keep the kitty on his tummy while you feed him. Feed the kitty approximately 8cc or 1/4 ounce of formula per ounce of his weight every 24 hours. Divide this amount into eight to 10 feedings spaced two to three hours apart. Get an idea of his weight by placing him on a kitchen or postal scale.

Other Formulations and Suggestions

If you're unsure what to feed your little one, consider feeding the kitty some goat's milk. Goat's milk has less lactose than cow milk. Whole cow's milk isn't the best idea for nursing kittens because they are lactose intolerant; diarrhea's a likely result. If this is what you have around, though, mix 8 ounces of it with two egg yolks and a teaspoon of vegetable oil to make a tolerable emergency formula for your little one. Depending on what you have in your pantry or can find in a grocery store open late, you can even use human infant formula as a substitute for kitten formula. Use this until you can get to your vet or a pet store for the real deal.

This is an excellent article:

Do not feed cow’s milk to kittens, as it does not have the proper nutrition for them. Cow’s milk will also cause diarrhea, a possibly life-threatening condition for young kittens. Only feed your kittens an approved kitten formula.

Hoskins, a homemade formula, is ideal:

Hoskins formula

3 oz. goat’s milk
3 oz. water
4 oz. plain full-fat yogurt
3 egg yolks

The formula will be good for about 48 hours if refrigerated. If the formula has been left out of the refrigerator for more than 2 hours, it must be discarded.

Poor Pirouette will be heartbroken if she loses any more babies :((

Today they are ok. But we could be sure they are B Blood type and not A after 8 days. I remember that last summer, 2 kittens were alive after 18 days, and then one died (might be another reason).

I would say that a kitten is safe when it starts to eat meat, at 3 weeks.

If they survive the 1st week, it will be a good sign. Most of these deaths happen in this period. After, the danger decreases.

I hope they will survive because now Pirouette has stopped to scratch herself.

But if they survive, I can't leave the country this summer :D

Better to remain in Kurdistan and look after fluffy babies than wander around France visiting your family and friends :ymdevil:

When I look at the maps for UK pollution, they also show me Paris and other parts of northern France, sometimes the level of pollution in Paris is frightening :shock:

Because Paris is a basin, and in a basin, air stagnates and circulates badly.
