Can you give an older kitten milk replacer?

[FurKidsMidwest]

I'm caring for a kitten that is about 7 months old and is very malnourished. I have a vet appointment tomorrow morning but in the meantime, I'm giving him Merrick canned kitten food. I've given him a kitten dose of Revolution and cleaned him up. I'm trying to get as many calories in him as possible. Is it okay to mix a little milk replacer in his food for extra calories since he's still young? I've also started him on a probiotic. If no on the milk replacer, what recommendations do you have for extra calories?

Yes, absolutely, KMR is great for a nutritional/calorie boost. They also sell Catsure, which would work too, but KMR is probably easier to find.

Great, Thanks so much!
