Hiya,
We went to the vet today with out 6 weeks kitten. We asked vet about feeding and well, he told us we were doing it all wrong.
He told us that 5-6 weeks old kittens cannot and should not eat the solid or canned food ( even marked for kittens ). They can start eating such food only after 12 weeks old. He also suggested giving the kitten instead of KMR formula, simple goat milk.
So my question is, did anyone ever get such suggestion from a vet? I mean it's kinda weird to hear such things and all other folks from animal shelter told us we can feed our kitten wet kitten food no problem...
So lost... =/
PS: After all the shots and blood taken, she looks so upset now. Was asleep most of the day, every time we try to pet her she crawls away.
Is this normal behavior for the first vet visit? Is she simply scared or something else?
