Hi, I recently found a newborn kitten a week ago and raised her just fine until a couple days ago when I tried switching from liquid KMR kitten formula to the powdered kind. I didn't think the two products would be any different (it's made by the same company afterall), so I figured I'll be able to save some money with the switch. The experiment failed terribly, and now my kitten won't go back to the liquid KMR after having drunk the powdered mix (I'm pretty sure I mixed it correctly when I fed my kitten it). It has been two days now, and I've only been able to drip (I try not to force it into her mouth in fear she might choke) about 15-20 ml a day of liquid KMR before I just give up in frustration from all her struggling *sigh*.

What should I do? I thought maybe if I waited a day or so she'll just go back to the liquid KMR on her own out of hunger, but that hasn't been the case. Should I take her to the vet? She's so light now that I'm afraid she won't last much longer.

BTW, she just started to open her eyes, don't know if that's relevant to the situation, but just wanted to say.
