What kind of nurser should I use for my newborn kitten?
Find the appropriate nurser when you are purchasing the
milk replacer for your kitten. Often these nursers look like a mini
baby bottle. There are different kinds of nipple to choose from as well.
You should pierce the nipple with a needle that has been heated over
flame. Another option is to ask your Veterinarian to prepare the nurser
for you.
Most importantly DO NOT cut the nipple with a knife, household scissors,
or any object other than a needle. If the hole is too large the kitten
may choke on the milk as it enters its lungs because the flow of a nipple
pierced improperly feeding you kitten too much milk at once.
