I wouldn't worry about the slip up. My kitty Mogget is about 2 months and Seven is 6 months, just brought the little one home last week. I also messed up the introduction. They were separated just a few days. Seven hissed and attacked him for a day or two but now they spend all of their time...
You can either mash up the pill in wet cat food or cover it in butter and throw it down their throats. The butter lubricates the pill and makes if taste better. You can usually only find the medicine for roundworms at the store... My boy had tapeworms so I needed the stuff the vet has. I ordered...
Can you order through Amazon or Ebay where you live? I've seen fenbendazole online and in stores near me. I'm surprised your vet only has metronidazole. Still, they're a vet and if they aren't concerned with his side effects I'd try to trust them.. I'm sorry your poor baby is reacting so badly!
It'll be a puddle on top of the litter. Occasionally is okay, kittens have sensitive stomachs. If it's been liquid for a few days I'd bring him to the vet. Switching wet foods doesn't bother most kitties, it's more switching dry. Did Dobby get dewormed?
I bought a Breeze litter box on sale and I highly recommend it. I replaced the expensive pellets it had with pine pellets meant for horse bedding. The sawdust gets sifted to the removable tray and the litter scoop is just the right size for the pellets to go through. No tracking and it smells...
If switching foods caused him to have softer stools than usual, that might cause it. They're also not quite as good at staying clean when they're tiny. Definitely temporary unless the food doesn't agree with him.
What lucky kitties! I'd love an update on what toys they like the most, especially the ones good for teething... my two have to play with crumpled up paper and grocery bags until I have more money. Luckily they don't seem to mind!
Any kind of corn syrup or honey will do the trick. It gives a little boost of sugar and will hopefully stimulate his appetite. Poor baby, it's too bad he's reacting so badly to the medicine.
It's not your fault if your kitten has giardia :( I'm so sorry you're going through this!
It looks like all those things are normal side effects of metronidazole. Just like people, all cats are different- I get terrible side effects from all kinds of medicine, personally. You could try asking...
