Hi Lisa,
Just wanted to post my experience with Kitten replacement formula. I
endorse it 100%!
This morning I found my 5 y/o female collapsed and dehydrated on the cage
floor. She was laying in feces and urine. I immediately began syringe
feeding her the milk formula and she came right back. I have her at the
office with me now and am syringe feeding her every 2-4 hours. I'm also
supplementing with a duck soup recipe that I made.
Snickers has been on this milk formula for over 5 months now. Both my
local vet and Dr. Williams has approved of this supplement and said she can
be on it indefinately. I believe it has saved her life over these past 5
months. I almost lost Snickers to a severe septic infection. She would
not eat or drink anything I made for her. So I went to the pet store and
came across the milk formula. From the beginning she liked the taste and
drank it rapidly. I mix mine with water and the dehyradated formula, and
in the past soy milk. But I think the soy milk was drying out her coat
and making it brittle. So I stopped adding it.
It has proven to be an excellent source of vitamins and minerals for my
sick ferret, so I give it a thumbs up. But also keep in mind that it does
not replace their normal kibble and if given to healthy ferrets, it could
make them fat. I stock it on my shelves 24/7. After todays episode, I
will always make certain it is available for emergencies.
