Thank you to everyone who responded to my questions about the age and behavior of my new kit. Thanks to the dentition posts, I now know my baby is less than 7 weeks old (no sign of adult canines). Her behavior can be explaned by her age and the stress of leaving Mom, being mixed with new kits - possibly several times, spaying, traveling, etc. She is eating and drinking well. She has even gotten the idea of a litter box's purpose (pooping, not sleeping, digging, etc.)! She is integrating herself well with the older two. I have been finding her sleeping with one or both all day. I'm very pleased with how well everything is going so far! I have a question for the vets on the list: Is it OK to worm with Pyrantel Pamoate (Strongid-T)? I am a wildlife rehabber and have this on hand. I have used it successfully in many species and assume it is safe, but I would like confirmation if possible, please. I also have a question for breeders: What age do you consider optimal for weaning? I'm currently (as of today) giving her a slurry of Totally Ferret wetted with water to a mush (cream of wheat consistancy) mixed with Iams canned kitten food. I'm adding the optimal rehabbing diet for skunks (because my book doesn't list any form of weasel/mink/etc. infant formula and skunk is as close as I can get). The skunk formula is a combination of Esbilac and MultiMilk. When all is mixed together, the consistency is only a bit looser than cream of wheat. She is eating this very eagerly. The reason for my question is that I want to know when the best time is to cut back and then cut out the Esbilac/MultiMilk part of the slurry. [Posted in FML issue 2464]
