replacement milk for a sick cat?

I have a 9 month old kitten who was diagnosed with a URI. I heard it was safe to give her replacement powdered milk, is this true?

Replacement milk like KMR, but not human milk.  Is your cat not eating? Is he being treated for the URI?

Goats milk can be used too. L-lysine (I get mine as treats on Amazon) is a immune system booster that can help in URI's too. Good luck and keep us posted!

Yes, as the above said.  Its true.

Best kitten replacement milk is this made by PetAg, commonly called for KMR, in powder. yes.

Good is also goat milk.  Raw / fresh is best, but bottled are OK...  If you have some to choose, use a full fat version.

None of these are necessary for URI, but they are OK and useful food,  especielly for sick or weak cats, not only newborn kittens.

Good luck!

Thanks and yes she's being treated. Just worried about her getting dehydrated.
