Your vet is 100% wrong.

A kitten cannot drink enough water to make up for the missing water
content of dry food. Your kitten could die if feed a dry food only
diet. Do not risk your kittens life - you vet is only recommending the
SD rubbish because s/he makes lots of money out of selling it.

Stick to a reasonable quality tinned cat food and your kitten will be
much better for it.

It is about time you learnt how to format a proper usenet post/reply.
http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/quote.html will give you a good start.

Failure to learn will label you either a moron or a selfish,
inconsiderate, illiterate plonker - it is all down to you.
