W/ the best cats
I rescued a 1 week old kitten and used lactose free milk for the first 2 days. Then for the next 4 weeks she was on KMR. I then switched to Royal Canin Baby Milk, which I used for my other orphan kittens, but the little one does not seem to like it. She will drink around 15 cc and just refuse to take more. This is 2x/day. She eats solid food with the rest of the kittens, her toilet is normal and she is active and playful. Should I be concerned?
Also, will she learn to lap by just watching the older kittens (they're about 3 weeks older)?

In my opinion, I think she's too excited to even bother, but maybe as she see's her other furmates she'll begin to indulge into the milk.. But thats just me, im not sure.. (no expert)

In her post, she says "Then for the next 4 weeks she was on KMR," so she's got to be at least 5 weeks now.

If she is liking the solid food then I don't see anything wrong with that. As long as it is wet food that you mean and it is specifically kitten food, not adult cat food. I just had a 3-4 week old kitten and he would not take a bottle, he would not eat very much KMR and i really had to mix the KMR into his wet kitten food for him to eat it. He loved the wet kitten food.
