I have also fed ultra-pasteurized, so it really comes down to your comfort level.<br /><br />No, I don't water it down. I feed it as is. If you are purchasing powdered goat milk you can simply reconstitute it as directed.

Also do we need to dilute it in equal parts of water? Please help. I'm taking care of 5 new born kittens whose momma unfortunately passed away.

I’ve saved many kittens that were near death with Goat’s Milk alone. Of course each kitten is different but Goat’s Milk has been a life saver! Most people in my experience who’ve had negative experiences with feeding kittens goat’s milk either overheated it, left it unrefrigerated for too long, or reheated it. <br /><br />It truly is the Mother Milk. If it wasn’t so nutritionally awesome, Kmr etc. wouldn’t have created goat’s milk kitten formulas.

They certainly knew love and had some fun, but that just makes it so much harder on you and their their caretakers We know you knew the risks going in (we lost three fosters to FIP over a period of six months - they were not tiny kittens, and we have never fostered since.) but what a valuable "service" you and all the other rescuers perform !

None of that makes it any better, especially with two totally sweet, innocent kittens. Their short lives were livable far longer in foster.

It dries quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
