Wet a cotton ball or gauze with warm water and circle the kitten’s anus to mimic the mother’s licking and stimulate defecation; with tissue, gently poke the anus. When urine flows, you feel warmth; keep wiping until it stops.
If no result in about a minute, wait 15 minutes and retry; if still none, see a vet.
