Hello! I have an almost 4 month old kitten that I adopted almost 2 months ago. For the first month I purchased dry and canned kitten food. I left the dry food out all day for snacking and fed the canned food 4 times a day. This past Saturday I took my dog to the free Vet here (he has liver problems and they run his bloodwork every month for me for free), and they gave me food for the kitten (they give out food, treats, litter, toys, bowls, beds, etc). They didn't have kitten food but told me that I could add goat milk to the cat food for her. They gave me Wellness dry food and Weruva Grain Free Chicken Pate canned food. She likes both. My question is regarding her need for extra calories being a kitten. What should I add to her wet food for this? Is the goat milk suggestion a good one? Or should I buy KMR for older kittens and use that? She is 5.7lbs right now. She eats (and poops!) probably 3 times as much as my 10lb dog! I'm doing almost the same as before: leaving the dry food out and feeding canned food now 3 times a day.
Oh, and if it matters, she's blind in one eye due to an upper respiratory infection she had when the Humane Society found her. It hasn't been removed and according to both the Humane Society and my Vet it won't need to be unless she develops pain or glaucoma in that eye, or if it gets bigger (it is slightly bigger than the other).
