    Chronic Diarrhea In 1 Year Old Cats

    Okay, so a while back I posted talking about how kittens I had were diagnosed with a form of coronavirus and had diarrhea. It was terrible. We lost 2 to the disease, including one who had a severe anal prolapse. The rest of the kittens seemed to recover and were doing fine. Until a few months...

    Coronavirus In 15 Kittens

    I was fostering 3 litters of kittens over the summer, when suddenly they all started having diarrhea. They've been having it since August 2017 now, and are small for their ages. A few of the kittens just...got better as they got older. Some have not. 5 fecal tests later, many dewormings...

    Week Old Kitten. What's Wrong With His Belly??

    He's doing much better guys! I had to feed with the syringe the first 8 hours or so but he's back to suckling from the bottle with his siblings now! Mom is eating and drinking, diarrhea is intermittent. She clearly doesn't feel well though. While the kittens are willing to nurse from her she...

    Week Old Kitten. What's Wrong With His Belly??

    They were waiting to get the fecal results back before putting mom on a med. I am trying to give formula, but I'm starting to get worried because he really doesn't want to eat and he won't latch onto the bottle like he used too. I try to put just little dabs in his mouth at a time to make sure...

    Week Old Kitten. What's Wrong With His Belly??

    Yes, I am supplementing milk with KMR. Although the little guy hasn't wanted to eat much yet. His sisters are though. They have a heating pad under those blankets and are in a room with a space heater that I use to keep the room nice and toasty. I've been keeping a very close eye on them. I've...

    3 Kittens With Eyelid Agenesis

    The little boy (first picture) passed away. He suddenly went limp and mostly unresponsive. We took him to the emergency vet but he was mostly just aggitated (hissing and trying to kick) at their poking and prodding. We let him go on the vets recommendation. They suspected some other genetic...

    3 Kittens With Eyelid Agenesis

    Hey guys. Someone found 3 kittens and gave them to me. I noticed right away they had no upper eyelids. Took them to the vet and got a confirmation this morning. They referred me to a specialist who wants $750 to $950 per kitten just to freeze the hairs around their eyes. I've spoken with several...

    I went aheas last night and have him a dose of clavamox. I had some on hand from his 2 siblings who passed with pneumonia. His belly is looking much better this morning, and I just gave him another dose. He has a vet appointment this afternoon just to be on the safe side, but his tummy looks...

    Vet is keeping him on the Albon, gave him fortiflora, and also shots for me to inject daily. She also gave me a/d wet food to feed him. They did a fecal and found no parasites, just infection. They said it was upset gut bacteria? But she said if he doesn't gain some weight it could be a problem...

    Sick 2 Wk Old Kittens

    He's been dewormwd with strongoid twice now. We're heading to the vet in an hour. 1Lb 8oz as of just now. I'm heart broken. He's acting energtic still. He acts like he's starving but only takes a few bites/gulps and then keeps turning his head away. Mostly he just wants to be held and cuddled...
