What If a Kitten Won’t Drink Goat Milk Formula?
Expert Answer
A kitten refusing goat milk formula may be because it is mixed too thin and tastes bland, so it dislikes it; try mixing the formula a bit thicker first to see if the kitten will drink. Second, the wrong feeding posture can also make a kitten refuse; hold the kitten with one hand, head tilted slightly up and belly down, mimicking a normal nursing posture.
Also, the bottle nipple must not be too small—when turned down it should drip on its own, which makes feeding easier. Finally, if the kitten really won’t drink, use a syringe to push a little into its mouth at a time; feed slowly to avoid choking.
