Will someone please give me some advice???
I recently found 3 stray abandoned kittens in my garage and I am taking care of them. The day I found them, they were starving so I gave them evaporated milk with a syringe. Of course I looked up proper care for kittens and within a day, I got them drinking formula from a bottle. The problem is that soon after they started having diarrhea. We estimated their age at about 7-8 days old and I'm worried about their health, but I cant afford the vet. I heard that adding some cooked and pureed sweet potato to their formula might help them release the rest of the milk that is probably be upsetting them. Does that sound smart to do? or would I be hurting them in some way? If so how much puree should I add to the formula?
I'm also worried that they aren't having diarrhea because of the milk and its because I changed their diet abruptly and they are having a reaction to that. Therefore me putting sweet potato in their formula would do a whole lot of bad.
Someone also told me that it might be just because they are still small and only eating formula. Liquid food, therefore liquid poop... Im not sure though... its coming out brownish yellow.
Im kinda freaking out because I don't want to add killing innocent little kittens to my list of wonderful things that happened in crappy 2013...
hope you can help and I understand if you cant.
