Indications

To feed orphaned kittens or supplement the diet of kittens coming from a large litter or those whose mother does not produce enough milk. Ideally, kittens should drink the colostrum of their mother during the first two days following their birth.

Posology

Administer the mix at body temperature (37C) according to the regular intervals while respecting the quantities recommended below, taking into consideration the age and weight of the animal. Divide the quantity calculated for the day into equal portions.

Number of meals per day:

8 for the week 1,

7 for the week 2,

6 for the week 3,

5 for the week 4 and 5.

Manual

To prepare the mix, fill the bottle provided with powder up to the mark written POWDER. Next, add warm water up to the mark written WATER, attach the teat to the bottle and shake vigorously in order to mix it well, then add water as needed up to the water mark. Peirce a hole into the tip of the teat before the first feeding. When another container is used, dissolve 1 part of powdered milk into 2 parts warm water. Mix well before each use.

Recommendation

Weigh the kittens daily in order to adjust the quantities of replacement milk to administer. Weak babies should be fed at least every 3-4 hours. Conserve the non-reconstituted powder at room temperature and out of the light. Once reconstituted, the mix should be conserved in the refrigerator and used within the following 24 hours.

From the 4th week of life, the kittens should progressively learn to eat solid food. The replacement milk should only be used as needed until the kitten has access to an adequate amount of maternal milk or until he is completely weened and able to eat solid food.

Caution

Limit the consumption to 200g of powder per kitten per day.
