Title: Recipe for emergency kitten milk replacement
Post by: Mark on September 02, 2008, 11:19:15 AM: I remember a while ago, someone was asking for an emergency substitute. I thought this might be handy for some people.

3 oz condensed milk (this is the sweet one, not to be confused with evaporated)
3 oz water
4 oz plain yogurt (not low fat)
3 large or 4 small egg yolks - no whites

Would always reccomend people who have a pregnant cat in their care to have a tub of replacement milk and equipment in stock, just incase.

It's more for people who hear about people that have kittens and no access to proper things. ie Christine's friend's som recently. Or some of the people on Yahoo answers who have sick cats and no money for vets.
