CriticalCareVet :

Hi there,

CriticalCareVet :

How much does the kitten weigh?

Customer :

about two pounds?

Customer :

Just purchased from a breeder. She has an excellent history, so I think we caused the "problem"

CriticalCareVet :

1/8 tsp once per day to start.

Customer :

about 11 weeks, and cute as a button :D

CriticalCareVet :

1/8 tsp once per day to start.

Customer :

oK, I guess I will need to feed the kitten separately from his brother, as they tend to eat out of the same bowl and his brother is a bit constipated

Customer :

I wish they could come to a happy medicum

Customer :

medium

CriticalCareVet :

Yes - that would be a good idea for a few days.

Customer :

OK, will do, thanks for your help. I didn't know how to use this program and I accepted before I even had a chance to talk. I did, however, get your answer afterwards

CriticalCareVet :

Glad to help.

Customer :

Have a great evening. Probably need to talk to you again soon LOL

CriticalCareVet :

Find me any time if needed: You can always request me through my profile (HERE), bookmark my page for future help, or beginning your question with “For CriticalCareVet”
