A newborn kitten that is silent, motionless, and cold may be dead. Newborn kittens will whine faintly and will try to find their mother’s nipple for milk. If the kitten can breastfeed naturally, it means that the kitten’s physical indicators are normal. If it cannot breastfeed naturally, it needs artificial help to eat colostrum.
A newborn kitten may have liquid in its nose and mouth, so it can’t breathe, so if it is motionless, wrap the kitten in a towel, then press down with its head down and stop suddenly, so that the kitten can’t breathe. The fluid in the nose flows out due to inertia. Artificial respiration can also be given to the kitten, and once the fluid is drained, the kitten will generally resume activities.
