Has anyone used NaturaPetz supplements? They have kitten formulas in most of their pills. Here's a link to one that might be best:

He went through one deworming and will be going back next Tuesday for his boosters.
I'll try to bring him a sample to see if the shelter vet will test it. If not, I'll have to find another vet.
Foster family called the shelter vet too. Their kittens only want wet food and have runny poops. Vet said they shouldn't have much wet food at their age.
I don't trust vet advice too much. I've had many try to switch me back to crap like Science Diet. I also know that wet vs dry is a big debate...
Thanks! We went today and bought the KMR 2nd Step Weaning formula to mash with softened. I figured it would be better since he's eating some food along with it. It's also a little cheaper too.
Update: I warmed up some Soulistic Harvest Sunrise in the microwave. He lapped up the juice, then ate pumpkin pieces, and most of the chicken!
I'm thinking he wanted warm food, since he's used to nursing along with food. He keeps going to the water heater along the wall and putting his paws on...
I bought a tin of PetAg PetLac last night. I opened it around 6pm or 7pm last night. I didn't realize that I had to refrigerate the powder also.
The can of powder has been out for about 19-20 hrs :( Has it spoiled?
He ate his dinner like I said, then another meal before bed. All of the wet and most of the dry mixed in Petlac.
I've tried feeding him today, and he won't eat. He'll sniff it, then dig at the ground like he does when he's finished eating (to "bury" it.)
He ate the most he has last night and has...
I've been feeding every 8 hrs. 1/4 cup dry divided per feeding. Then start with a scoop of wet and add more if he finishes.
He doesn't finish the dry, even when mixed with formula today.
I've been holding off on a lot of Soulistic and mixing it with the fosters' wet food. But his last poop was...
The dry food he'll be switched to is Wellness CORE Kitten. I've been doing 1/4 cup dry and trying to get to 3 oz of wet. Would he be better off eating a full 5.5 oz can per day, or stay with 3 oz?
Good Karma is 68 cal/3 oz can and Harvest Sunrise is 64.
Went to the store and bought PetLac - they didn't carry KMC powder. I mixed the formula in with the dry food. He didn't seem interested. I poured some of the "gravy" and a small piece of chicken on it. He ate almost all of it. He sniffed and pawed the side where I put wet food, so I gave him...
Starting to think I might need to mix his dry food with kitten milk replacer and have Soulistic on the side.
Anyone have experience with KMR 2nd Step Kitten Weaning Food? Or just stick with their regular formula?
That's why I'm switching, but didn't want to do it too quickly. :)
I was worried too. I was happy when he ate all his wet food the next morning.
I'd been thinking of giving him kitten milk formula if he refused to eat.
Just not sure if I should go buy formula or switch to more Soulistic.
@bonepicker- Will he get on upset stomach from eating all Soulstic + dry?
His previous diet was Purina Kittten, occasional Meow Mix wet, and milk from nursing.
I just brought home my 8 wk old kitten on Thursday night. He was on Purina Kitten and Meow Mix Savory Morsels wet food. I'm trying to switch to Wellness Core and Soulistic chicken.
He did not eat the first night, but had nursed and had hard food at his foster home.
The next morning he ate all...
