A one-month-old Schnauzer can eat puppy kibble or milk cake softened with goat milk, 4-5 times a day in small amounts to avoid indigestion.

If the rumbling comes with soft stool, diarrhea, vomiting, obvious bloating, frequent hiccups, lethargy, or poor appetite, the gut is likely troubled—see a vet promptly.

A found kitten needs a vet check and a 1–2 week quarantine before meeting resident pets, then a schedule of deworming, FVRCP + rabies vaccines, and neutering.
