There has been a short supply (in fact, NO supply) of Pets Own Milk, and my friend, who is currently fostering five puppies, has this to share. He is a very experienced puppy-fosterer and has hand-raised many mother-less newborn puppies.
Here it is, but it has only been used on PUPPIES (not kittens).
The milk powder is Nan1, Hypoallergenic.
From Newborn till 2 weeks old – use according to recommended dosage for human babies, but add 20% more water to dilute it. For every 250ml, add a teaspoon of glucose (flat, not heaped). Glucolin will do.
After 2 weeks – use as per recommended for human babies.
He says it works well, from his experience on puppies.

Suddenly remember of a book that I have. If you are like me, prefer to use natural diet and remedies, try this book 'Dr Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats'. He has a kitten formula and puppy formula available – it's a bit difficult to share in just a few lines as some of the ingredients (eg: bone meal) have some reference tables kinda thing, with plenty of explanations. He includes plenty of clear definitions, instructions, comparisons, and explanations on a lot of the ingredients and others. I always refer to that book on not life threatening situations, eg: skin problem, diet, etc. Although he actually also include homeopathic treatments in the book – but I don't really know how to practice it. 😛
