    Tylosin vs. Metronidazole

    Thanks so much for those links! Might just have to run out and get that ham baby food☺. No, we have no idea why she's having diarrhea, but she's had a few episodes of vomiting (just food and liquid) and consistent diarrhea for the last 2 weeks, so definitely not something that resolved on its...

    Tylosin vs. Metronidazole

    Thanks so much! She definitely needs the medication as the diarrhea has persisted for a few weeks now going from soft to liquid now😕. Did you administer in pill form or liquid? I'm always nervous about giving medication to my kittens. One is very food motivated, but this kitten will smell it...

    Tylosin vs. Metronidazole

    Hi All, my 7 month old kitten starting developing diarrhea a few weeks ago, tested negative for all worms including giardia and the vet wants to try antibiotics. She prescribed Metronidazole but I've read it's quite toxic with horrid side effects. I asked about Tylosin since I've read it comes...

    Swollen kitten belly

    Sorry, that was supposed to say that I was then sent to a specialist who did absolutely nothing. When you look at this kitten there is clearly a serious issue and I'm just not sure who to turn to at this point.

    Swollen kitten belly

    Thank you for your reply. I've seen a vet at a membership only clinic that has amazing reviews, but theas well as a specialist at an animal hospital. I am not sure what to look for at this point.

    Swollen kitten belly

    Just a follow-up I read the Imaging report from The Specialist who told me that nothing appears to be wrong with my kitten. It clearly states in the report that there is a lot of echogenic fluid in my cat's stomach and that her stomach is severely distended. I have no idea where to go from here...

    Swollen kitten belly

    Perhaps a motility issue? I really need to work with a holistic vet or a vet who is open to looking at my cat and my reports as much as images. There clearly is something wrong and this is very distressing for me as a new kitten mom

    Swollen kitten belly

    So I was told, no. But I've asked for the images to be examined by another radiologist. Just "alot od ingesta". To me, she clearly has some fluid buildup or something stuck. Her stool is generally soft but formed, and it sticks to the fur on her behind. She definitely struggles while she's in...

    Cat (and Human) Asthma and Litter

    Can you tell me how you received the dx of asthma and what your cat's symptoms looked/sounded like? I've noticed that if the litter box isn't clean or there isn't enough litter in the box, one of my kittens will dig for a longer time which naturally kicks up some dust making breathing more...

    Swollen kitten belly

    Hi all, so after a lot of tests, we haven't zeroed in on the main issue and I'm not sure where to go from here. My kitten has slightly high SDMA-kidney functioning test, slightly high phosphorous, crystals and protein in her urine and slight inflammation in her lungs. She was treated with...

    Active Kitten Has Bloating And Diarrhea Despite Deworming

    Hi, I started my own thread as I wasn't sure I'd get a reply here. I just adopted these kittens so they haven't been to a vet under my care yet. But she was thoroughly examined several times since she was rescued in August as she was very ill when she was found and hospitalized for 4 days with...

    Swollen kitten belly

    I see! Makes sense. I'll try to collect a few before the test and ask about collecting different ones over the course of weeks as I know worms can be killed with the antibiotics but eggs may still be a problem... thx for the clarification.

    Swollen kitten belly

    Thank you! Since she has this bloated belly, I am concerned about her overeating... and she will. If I leave food out she will just keep eating. I only feed them wet food. I appreciate your feedback on fortiflora and was interested in looking into other probiotics. I'll check out the thread on...

    Swollen kitten belly

    Thanks so much. I'll ask the vet about more specific parasite testing.

    Swollen kitten belly

    Thanks for your reply. She was wheezing way before I adopted her. She was thoroughly checked out and had a full catogram and nothing showed up. So they told me that she might have a polyp or some problem with her adenoids that she might grow out of but weren't sure because they didn't want to do...

    Active Kitten Has Bloating And Diarrhea Despite Deworming

    Hi! I just adopted a 5 month old kitten and she has all the problems your little guy did, esp the unrelenting bloated belly :(. 3 rounds of drontal and fortiflora probiotic has not resolved the bloating... can you tell me exactly what you did? She has voracious hunger, so i think she still has...

    Swollen kitten belly

    Hi All, I just adopted two 5 month old kittens and one has a very bloated belly. I was told she tested positive for roundworm and has been given drontol several times but it isn't any better, possibly worse? Her hunger is insatiable so I think she may still have worms. I wondered about possible...
