We took in a stray mama cat & she had 5 kittens & only 2 made it. She kept rolling over on them one by one but we think it's because she wasn't producing milk. We took her surviving 2 when they were about 3 days old and started bottle raising them. They've been excellent babies. We've fed them powder KMR from the beginning but when we went to the only store in town that sells it about a week or so ago to buy another tub they were out of stock & said it would be about 2 weeks before they'd get some more in.
We ended up having to get the Hartz formula at walmart. We hated to do that because it's such horrible formula. Well, they hated it. They tolerated it a couple of times but they flat out refused to keep eating it. We took it back & ended up having to get the cans of ready made KMR at the other store. Ever since the swap from the powder KMR to Hartz to the can liquid KMR they have been having diarrhea--about 3 days or so now. They aren't using the bathroom on their own yet. So, when I go to get them to pee they will pee a little & then the runny poop just starts squirting out. It's a brownish color & isn't watery---it's more of a runny toothpaste sort of consistency.
What can I add to their bottles to stop this diarrhea? By the way, the little girl is Sarabi & her brother is Scar.
