Someone (I don't remember who) recently wrote about three week old kits that had to be taken from their mother because she had mastitis. Try mixing some canned Science Diet kitten food with some Ensure or Sustical and warm it up (a few seconds in the microwave will do the trick). Make it very runny at first then a little thicker as the kits get older. I suppliment my babies with this starting at three weeks of age. They get more of it on them than in them at first but they really enjoy it and it gives mom a little break. Cindy Sooy [Posted in FML issue 1047]
