I have a bottle baby about 5 days old. I’ve been feeding him lightly warmed kmr (as much as he will willingly eat) around 4-6ml every 2-4 hours. He’s been pooping regularly with stimulation, however today I noticed small streaks of diluted blood on the wet wipe used to stimulate.
I’ve read this could be anything from parasite or an allergy to the kmr to an irritated GI. He is otherwise very active, vocal, eager to eat and healthy. He does have a rounder belly that shrinks a little between feedings but it is not taut.
He’s being kept in a box with a baby blanket and heating pad. And goes with me in my shirts if need be.
What is the best course of action to try and help him? Is it likely normal? I cannot afford a vet atm. Should I find a dewormer? Try whole goats milk?
