tube feeding

finally tried tube feeding for the first time on my own - what a success! I've always been so frightened incase I damaged the kitten with tube feeding, or put it into the lungs instead of the stomach. I measured the length of the tube against the kitten and then down it went into their stomachs. Down the tube the milk went into the stomach without any problems and the kitten was immediately content with a full tummy of milk.
Then back to Luvalot for her to clean toilet them, and look after them until next feed.
Luvalot is doing a great job of looking after sugars kittens between feeds, she then takes them through the night to give us a good night's sleep.
we are hoping that Luvalot will get enough milk in so that we don't have to feed them, but we'll give her all the help she needs.
