Hi, she should pass feaces at least once a day. Sometimes making the formula milk a little less concentrated helps. You should also massage gently Lulu’s tummy after every feed. If no feaces are passed within the next 12 hours, it’s best to have her checked over. Hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

    Yes this is very normal. Most kittens this young need to be fed every 2-3 hours. Make sure you are feeding a kitten formula and that she is eating until she doesn't she turns away the bottle/syringe. I would make sure you are stimulating her behind with a warm wet cloth to help her poop every time you feed her. If she still doesn't pass any feces in another 24 hours, I would take her to your vet to ensure she is well hydrated and not constipated. Your vet may also be able to watch you stimulate her to ensure it is being done correctly. I hope this helps!
