I am asking because we have been having a lot of digestive and diarrhea issues in our rescue with bottle babies, way more than normal. It seems to be hitting around 3-4 weeks. Our vets cannot figure out what is causing it- it is not parasite related, not coccidia, giardia, etc. Most of the fosters are using the GNC brand kitten milk (powder) from Petsmart. I prefer Pet-Lac milk replacement, and have not had any diarrhea issues, but another foster tried Pet-Lac and hers did not do well on it. I personally think the GNC brand smells weird, but I would like some other opinions.
We don't use the homemade formulas simply because there seems to be an issue with newer fosters making it incorrectly, or it just being to time consuming for people who are fostering multiple babies. The powder is just easier.
Not sure if this should go in this forum or the cat nutrition forum, but since it is bottle baby related I posted here.
