    3 Week Old Kitten Not Eating
    I have a 3 weeks old kitten that has recently started refusing the bottle. This started ever since I introduced wet food. This wouldn't be a problem except she is extremely skinny and has started shaking like she is cold. What should I do?

    Where is her mother?

    What kind of milk are you using?

    Why did you introduce wet food? She's too small for that.

    Try feeding the kitten with a little beef paste or ham etc on the end of your finger once she starts eating that she will start eating normal cat food.Chris.w "Twitter" "Satans problem" P.S. try doing the feeding why she is on your lap letting her know things are OK.

    Did you read that the cat is 3 weeks old, far too young for "normal cat food."

    Give the kitten some water from an eye dropped or syringe with some liquid glucose mixed in just to get the blood sugar levels up until you can see a vet.

    Edit- oi, sorry, should check the dates, as this was posted a week ago, it's a bit late for the glucose. I hope you worked out a solution.
