Hi there! It’s great that you’re looking to provide the best care for your kitten. When it comes to feeding, kittens have specific nutritional needs, and not all types of milk are suitable for their delicate systems.
Powdered milk intended for humans isn’t ideal for kittens, as it doesn't contain the right balance of nutrients they need to grow. It can sometimes lead to digestive issues, such as diarrhea, which can quickly dehydrate a kitten if left unchecked. Instead, it's best to use a kitten milk replacer. These are specially formulated to meet their nutritional needs, closely mimicking the composition of a mother cat's milk.
If your kitten has accidentally consumed a little powdered milk, don’t worry too much. Just keep an eye on them for any signs of digestive upset, like diarrhea or vomiting. If you notice these symptoms persisting or if the kitten seems lethargic or is not eating, it would be a good idea to reach out to a vet.
For further peace of mind and personalized advice, I recommend booking a video consult with a vet on Dial A Vet. They can provide tailored guidance for your kitten's diet and overall health. Take care, and enjoy these precious early days with your new furry friend!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
