Newborn kittens usually cannot defecate on their own; the owner can dampen a soft cloth and gently wipe the kitten’s elimination opening to stimulate it, mimicking the mother’s licking.
Stimulate 15-30 minutes after each feeding; if unsuccessful, wait 10-20 minutes and try again. After success, wipe the kitten clean with alcohol-free wipes and dry tissue to prevent infection.
