Monitor your kitten to ensure they are drinking water. Look for signs such as a wet face or paws, and observe the water level in their bowl to see if it changes. You can also gently pinch the skin on the back of their neck; if it snaps back quickly, they are likely hydrated. In addition, check for regular urination and healthy, moist gums.
