Vets, Vet techs or cat lovers HELP!?

Try to get the mom to nurse the baby, even if you have to hold the mom so the kitten can suckle. It is very important for the kitten's immune system to have colostrum for at least the first 48 hours of life. If you are still having trouble and mom won't nurse within an hour, I would start with a milk replacer rather than let the kitty starve.
