Little kitten Basil isnā€™t gaining weight. Heā€™s still stuck at 108 grams (3.8 oz) while his siblings are around 150g. His ribs are also more prominent than the othersā€™. Iā€™m going to start supplementing and giving him ā€œprivateā€ nursing times with Mom. I was warned this could happen with inbred kittens. @windycityfosters said.
_________________________________________
The good news is he is still active and has a strong voice, he is warm, and he is sleeping in the kitten pile, not off to the side. Iā€™m really hoping he starts thriving and gaining weight.šŸ¤žšŸ» @windycityfosters said.

Everyoneā€™s doing ok this morning! kitten Basil gained 2 grams last night, not as much as I wanted, but still better than nothing! He is now at 110g. @windycityfosters said.

kitten Basil is still doing ok besides the slow weight gain. Heā€™s active, warm, and nursing. Iā€™m supplementing every two hours with 3 parts goat milk 1 part KMR.
Happy update: Basil is now completely off supplementing and gained 7 grams last night! Nutmeg is now in the hands of our shelterā€™s wonderful vet, who will be taking her home and providing round the clock care! Iā€™ll give you guys updates as soon as I get them! @windycityfosters said.

kitten Basil is definitely the calmest kitten in the litter… he sat in his purrito without a single fuss!

kitten Basil has waited so long for Rosemary to get off of his nipple heā€™s resorted to eating himself! @windycityfosters said.

Basil is definitely the baby of the group. Always whining for Mom and very cautious! @windycityfosters said.
