I am from India. I have a rescued kit. Mother abandoned and was found covered in red ants. Looking at any comparing pictures online he looks to be 1 week to 10 days old. Found him on Sunday. he has been on cows milk - diluted. I have ordered Esbilac PMR but will take nearly 2 weeks to arrive here. Powdered Goats milk will take 5 days. He looked dehydrated last night and I started him on homemade rehydration solution - water and honey. He perked up but has started having diarrhoea. He's being kept warm and I'm feeding him the rehydration solution.
I understand he needs PMR at the earliest. Baring that - can I give him human infant formula - namely ahets available in India - lactogen/nan pro? What are my options. There are no vets nearby to help with him.

Can you obtain liquid goat's milk? It doesn't have to be powered.
