Very interesting, Yoda. I always was told that eating raw egg was not healthy, so I never thought of that kind of thing before. How does it help for cats?
The girls were starting with goat's milk because it seems to be closer to cat milk than cow's, at least until they could get kitten formula. She had to get him to smell the milk before he started eating, which I tried after we found him. He seemed to already know how to suckle, 'cause he seemed to be trying to from when we originally tried to feed him by giving drops from fingertips (since we didn't have a bottle or syringe handy) and he even seemed to be trying to gnaw on the edge of my shirt and I'm pretty sure I felt him trying to lick or suckle on my skin, as I had him against my chest the whole time and was wearing a v-neck, lower cut shirt (which he sometimes tried to burrow his face into). Maybe the warmth he was feeling had something to do with that or something, I don't know. But he seemed to try when he was not meowing, which wasn't very often unless I moved around a little. For the diagnosis the vet gave, he sounded pretty healthy - one of the loudest meows I've ever heard! ^_^
When he went to sleep after eating, he was put on a heating pad and covered - this girl definitely knows how to take care of him.
I didn't get any new updates today, but we'll see what we can find out tomorrow.
Thanks for this!
