Bottle raising a kitten?

Question

how do you cut the top of the nurser so it will let out the right amount of milk for a small kitten that needs to nurse from it?

Answer 1

I have never used bottles to feed, I have had more success with syringes, you can get them at the pharmacy and the ones most recommended at the 10cc amount.  I have found them easier to use, gently squeeze the KMR on the side of their mouth usually between the eye teeth.

Hi!

You can use a small blade or boxcutter to make the hole. But make sure you sterilize and disinfect the equipment first. Always start with a small cut. Place the nipple on a clean surface, press the tip of the nipple and make a X or + cut. After that, test the milk flow. It should drip evenly without applying pressure to the bottle. Should the milk fail to flow, it's too small. And if it flows like a tap, it's too big. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

go to a pet store. They will have a proffesional bottle to be used for nursing kittens.

Answer 4

Your supposed to take a tooth pick to stab it but it never is big enough. I take a pair of skinny small scissors and take one side and put it into the top of the nipple to make a small slit. By the way you usually have to squeeze the bottle for them when feeding to help the milk come out. Your hands will get tired but it has to be done. Dont forget to wipe her bottom with a warm cloth about 20 mins after your done to help her use the bathroom, mama does this for them in the wild.

Edit:

Make sure its a pet feeding bottle. You will still have to cut the hole in it though.
