Pedialite is good and there are several kitten and small animal formulas available. I use KMR most pet stores have it and the Wal-Mart here has a brand that is good.

Herman's favorite place was hidden in Melissa's hair on her shoulder with his tail semi-wrapped around her neck.<br /><br />When bottle feeding a baby, I find adding raw egg and a tad bit of sugar seemed to help them eat better.<br /><br />Good luck.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817148833309325011.post-65654020202538593192010-05-23T08:52:33.600-04:002010-05-23T08:52:33.600-04:00All the babies are so nice!
