Hand-raising unweaned babies
So, this isn't about dogs, but I couldn't find anything about cats online, so i figured someone might know.
We have a cat, and one kitten died last night, and I know it's natural for some to die, but is there anything we can feed them from our kitchen {watered down milk, or something} to help keep them strong in an attempt to keep them alive, one of the babies is tiny. Thanks! |

You need to get formula if the mom is not feeding them. Regular milk does not contain what they need to boost their immune system and get them growing.

In the past I have used homoginized. milk mixed very thinly with baby pablem feed through an eye dropper, this should only be used for a couple of weeks you need to contact a vet or local SPCA they could advise you for long term.

All animals have there own type of milk.
Cows cant even drink milk from your fridge because a lot of good stuff has been taken out. So no, I dont think you can feed them milk from your fridge. |

"DO NOT USE COW MILK! Never feed a kitten cow's milk or human baby formula as this causes stomach upset and severe diarrhea. If a kitten is already dehydrated, this could prove fatal. This includes condensed/evaporated canned cow's milk!" |

KMR is the brand name, Kitten Milk Replacement. You can get it at Petsmart, along with the bottles and other stuff.
