My 8-week-old kitten won't eat wet food or drink. Can I give milk?

Question

Hi, my 8 weeks old kitten doesn't want wet food. He eats dry food and is also not drinking and urinating enough, as far as I can see. Can I give him kitten milk instead? Thanks. Gloria. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 25 days old

Try warming the canned food slightly or mixing in a bit of warm kitten milk replacer in the wet and/or dry food. Either may stimulate his appetite. Once he is eating regularly, gradually decrease the amount of milk until he is eating just kitten food. You can offer a 50/50 mix of water and unflavored PediaLyte in his water bowl to help maintain hydration.
