kitten stopped feeding

Question
Hi:

We have a 3week old kitten that was abandoned by the mother we have been feeding him KRM milk formula and everithing was ok until two days ago, everytime we tried to feed him he refuses the bottle or just takes a little milk, we took him to the vet today and he says he is ok but still does not want the milk i see
that it is getting weaker. What could this be?

Answer
Hi Daniel,

Try my recipe for Kitty Glop. Kits seem to like it a lot. If she still doesn't want to eat try smearing a bit of Karo syrup on her mouth. This will help stimulate her appetite. if she gets worse you will need to take her to the vet. Here is a link on kitten care. http://www.feralcat.com/raising.html

Good luck. I hope this helps.

Ciao, Karen

KITTY GLOP

INGREDIENTS:
1 can evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed)
2 tbsp. plain yogurt (not low or non fat)
2 tbsp. mayonnaise (real not light or No-Fat)
1 tbs. Karo Syrup (light)
1 pkg. Knox unflavored gelatin
1 egg yolk (beaten,)
1 cup Pedialyte (unflavored)
1- 2 jars Stage One Baby food (chicken or turkey)

INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix milk, yogurt, mayonnaise, baby food, and syrup together well. Bring 1 cup pedialyte to boil and mix in Knox gelatin. Set aside. Mix egg yolk with small amount of milk mixture and beat well.

Add gelatin and pedialyte to milk mixture and beat well. Add in egg yolk mixture and beat well. Remember to not use egg substitute and keep egg white to a minimum.

Pour into bowl (with cover) and set in refrigerator. Glop will last for two weeks covered in refrigerator. Try freezing the mixture in ice cube trays and store the cubes in the freezer, thaw as many as needed.
Always warm glop to room temperature ,(milk form), or a little warmer, before feeding.
