How long does it take for kittens to recover from diarrhea after drinking goat's milk?

If the diarrhea is caused solely by the stimulation of goat's milk to the kitten's stomach and intestines, it is recommended to feed pet probiotics and kaolin, which usually returns to normal in about 2 days. However, kittens are prone to developing other diseases due to the stimulation of goat's milk, such as acute enteritis and feline panleukopenia, which are more severe and require timely medical attention.

Usually, it cannot be cured by itself and it is recommended to seek medical advice promptly. There are many reasons for diarrhea in kittens after drinking goat's milk.

Firstly, consider that the goat's milk is not suitable for the kitten's stomach, stimulating the fragile stomach and causing diarrhea. It is recommended to stop feeding the goat's milk and appropriately feed intestinal regulators that can solidify stools and improve bacteria, such as pet-specific probiotics and kaolin.

Secondly, consider that there may be quality issues with the goat's milk, such as low-quality products or expiration, leading to food allergies or poisoning. It is recommended to immediately stop feeding goat's milk and take the kitten to a pet hospital for further inspection and treatment to avoid delaying the best treatment time.

Lastly, consider that the stimulation of goat's milk may cause secondary diseases, such as acute enteritis, feline panleukopenia, and feline coronavirus infection. These diseases, caused by bacterial or viral infections, are more harmful to cats and can clinically cause vomiting, diarrhea, depression, loss of appetite, and other symptoms. Among them, feline panleukopenia poses the greatest threat to cats, with typical symptoms of significant decreases in white blood cells, thereby increasing the risk of infection. It is recommended to take the kitten to a pet hospital promptly for related checks and treatment.

It should be noted that young kittens need to be fed with goat's milk specifically designed for pets. Also, it is necessary to purchase them from regular pet stores or pet hospitals to avoid buying counterfeit or low-quality products. It is not recommended to feed young kittens with goat's or cow's milk intended for human consumption, as this may induce stomach discomfort. The special goat's milk for pets should be diluted with warm boiled water, not with boiling water, to avoid destroying the nutrients contained in it.
