    What is a good milk product available for kittens? they are only 10 days old-so would whiskas cat milk be ok?

    I'm quite stuck on this one, and would really appreciate a fast response!:):(

    Am not sure what they sell in Ireland; cows milk and whiskas kitten milk aren't a go, don't feed the kittens either, you could cause diarrhoea leading to dehydration and they'll go downhill, FAST. Give the vet a call and explain the situation, they'll have a kitten replacement milk product and should also have suitable bottles/syringes and teats for feeding kittens. You should be able to buy the products from the vet without having to pay an animal consult fee.

    They can also give you advice on weaning them from here on. What happened to mum?

    Lactol Kitten Milk is probably the most suitable to feed them. I presume you're hand rearing them yourself if you're looking for a substitute milk yeh? If you are dont forget to stimulate them to go to the toilet regularly aswell.
