Causes of diarrhea in cats drinking milk powder:

1. Lactose intolerance. Because goat milk powder contains lactose, it is likely to cause lactose intolerance in kittens, resulting in diarrhea.

2. The brewing ratio of milk powder is inappropriate. If the proportion of milk powder is not appropriate and the milk powder is too thick, the protein concentration will be very high, and the cat will absorb less nutrients and be difficult to digest, which will cause diarrhea.

3. The quality of milk powder is not good. If the milk powder purchased by the owner is a counterfeit product, it is likely to cause diarrhea in the cat.

4. The cat’s gastrointestinal condition is not good. If the owner is feeding the cat milk powder according to the correct dosage and method, but the cat still has diarrhea, it may be caused by the cat's gastrointestinal failure and failure to adapt.

5. Viral infection. The early stage of feline plague, a viral infectious disease, can also cause cats to suddenly suffer from diarrhea.
