Most animals are brought to a new family shortly after weaning. At this time, their food is still in the stage of breast milk, and they can’t accept other food at once. Therefore, when they are over weaned, they should still focus on dairy products. Therefore, many people will directly give them milk, such as feeding milk to kittens. But some people also worry: can kittens drink milk? In this regard, Xiaobian will discuss this issue with you.
Milk is rich in nutrients, so many people will feed milk to animals that need supplementary nutrition. Therefore, when their pets are just weaned, people will use milk instead of breastfeeding. However, it should be noted that milk contains a lot of nutrition, but kittens can’t feed too much, because kittens’ intestines and stomach are very fragile and can’t digest and scarce so much nutrition at a time, so it’s OK to feed a small amount of milk, but if you feed too much milk, it may lead to diarrhea and kittens.
Some people may ask why they can’t feed milk to kittens. The nutrition of milk is so high. If they don’t drink milk, what can they eat? In fact, many cats have lactose intolerance. Because there is no lactose enzyme in the body, cats cannot digest lactose in milk, and these undigested lactose will lead to thin and soft stools or loose stools of kittens. Once the kitten has the problem of diarrhea, there is a problem in its intestines and stomach, which will make it unable to absorb more water and nutrition, but will become thinner and thinner.
But the kitten can’t help eating, so what’s good for feeding? In fact, you can feed some goat milk. Because there are many nutrients in goat’s milk, the most important thing is that there is no lactose in it, so it will not cause diarrhea and non absorption in the kitten’s body.
Can a kitten drink milk? It can be said that kittens can only drink a small amount of milk. It’s best to feed sheep’s milk, or go to the pet store. Generally, there will be special food for kittens. However, because kittens have weak intestines and stomach, it’s best to feed liquid food at the beginning, and then slowly transition to normal food. The most important thing is regular and quantitative feeding, so as to keep them well.
