Is it bad to give goat milk to a CKD cat ?

Hi,

I have a 11 year old cat with CKD. I live in Turkey and we are having a incredibly hot summer here,  he doesn't want to eat at all so are my other healty cats, ever since it got hot here. I also noticed they don't drink as much as they used to, so I'm a bit panicking to get my CKD cat hydrated. He really loves goat milk so I bought a bottle today and when I mix it with his wet food, he eats without any problem. But I'm also not sure if it is ok to give goat's milk with a cat with kidney issues. He is lactose intolerant but he never had any problems with goat's milk since it's low on lactose. 

What do you think, do you give your CKD cats goat's milk ?

Perfectly fine, in fact it sounds like a great idea to encourage him to eat. Goats milk is really good for cats. 

Goat's milk is wonderful and can be fed to small orphan kittens as well as adult cats.  Goat’s milk contains around ten grams of fat per eight ounces compared to 8 to 9 grams in whole cow’s milk.  Goat’s milk contains slightly lower levels of lactose (4.1 percent versus 4.7 percent in cow’s milk),

"Unlike cow’s milk, goat’s milk does not contain agglutinin. As a result, the fat globules in goat’s milk do not cluster together, making them easier to digest. Like cow’s milk, goat’s milk is low in essential fatty acids, because goats also have EFA-destroying bacteria in their ruminant stomachs. Yet, goat milk is reported to contain more of the essential fatty acids linoleic and arachnodonic acids, in addition to a higher proportion of short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids. These are easier for intestinal enzymes to digest."   (from Goat Milk /Ask Dr. Sears)

Great, now I feel relieved. Thank you
