How to make a kitten milk replacement?

help!!! i have a weeks old kitten. and i just feed her with a fresh milk. i just learned that cow's milk is bad for my kitten's health. please tell me how to make a kitten milk replacement. im in china right now and unfortunately there's no pet shop nor walmart around here.. what will i do???How to make a kitten milk replacement?Here is a recipie:

8 ounces water (boiled then cooled)

1 envelope Knox unflavored gelatin

8 ounces whole evaporated milk (not skim)

2 tablespoons mayonnaise (not low fat)

2 tablespoons plain yogurt (not low fat)

1 large or 2 small eggs yolks (raw)

1 teaspoon clear Karo syrup

* 1-3 drops liquid pet vitamins

* 1 capsule acidophilus

* 1 drop Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE)

* Optional, though very beneficial.

Boil the water, add the gelatin and mix well. Add the following ingredients in order, mixing well after each addition:



1/2 of the canned milk

Mayonnaise and Yogurt

Rest of the milk

All other ingredients



You can substitute canned goat's milk for the canned evaporated milk, if you prefer it. This mixture will keep in the fridge for up to four days. It is jello-like in consistency in the fridge so you can just scoop out as much as you need and warm. It can also be frozen in ice cube trays and defrosted as needed. You can find pet vitamins at a pet store or your vet, and acidophilus and GSE in the liquid form at a good health food store.



If you prefer, you can use this recipe permanently, instead of a commercially available kitten formula. If you are using a commercial formula, add a quarter of a teaspoon of full fat yogurt to the first bottle of each day. This will aid in your kitten's digestion.How to make a kitten milk replacement?Whole milk isnt the worse thing to give your kitten in fact is does have a lot of vitamins in it. It's better than allowing your kitten to die because of lack of food. The whole milk will cause your kitten to have up set tummy which can cause dehydration.... which is not good at all! Just make sure that you keep a close eye on the kitten and try and get the kitten to eat some wet kitten food see if that helps any.How to make a kitten milk replacement?no no, dont worry.. Cow milk isnt bad for kitty.. it contains AMAZING vitamins and nurients for it.. but it just contains too much lactose which will cause it an upset stomach..
