Will My Kitten Die If I Feed It Milk?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Does your kitten need formula? If your kitten's been weaned properly you can just feed regular cat food. Using any of the milk we drink upsets their stomach and causes diarrhea. It is the diarrhea that is dangerous because they can dehydrate and it's that, that can cause death. Kittens need specific vitamins and nutrients that aren't found sufficiently in any milk or formula that isn't produced by or made specifically for them. The main one is taurine, they need taurine for many things but a cat who is not getting enough taurine is likely to go blind or have other severe eye problems at a minimum. If you aren't sure how to go about caring for your kitten you should see your vet for a quick check up and so that they can go over care with you and answer all your questions. If you need kitten formula they can show you the proper way to feed a kitten and care for a kitten without accidently causing aspiration or other harm and probably send you home with everything you need.
