Hi all,
I am writing this in hopes I can get some opinions of some fellow cat lovers on this, and I have spoken to two vets already as well.
So, June 10 we brought Beans (the kitten) in for her first vet visit, where she was given her first round of vaccines and dewormer. She was fine for a few days, and then the monday after (June 14) she started having really bad diarhea, where it was getting all over her and we had to bathe her immediately after she went. Vet said this was probably side effects of the medicine, so we let it go. Then that Thursday (June 17) our 6yr old diabetic cat Piper started exhibing the same symptoms; diarhea, vomiting, not eating, lethargic.
We immediately brought them both in to the vet, and were told that it was probably a parasite, infection, or virus that was passed between them.They were prescribed oral metrodiazanol, which we have been giving them 2 times a day since. Both of them pretty much immediately started to feel better, but all of a sudden yesterday, Beans started vomiting, not eating or drinking, diarhea, and extremely lethargic. We again brought her in to the vet, where she was given a fluid injection and a omeprazole injection. When we got her home, she was soaking wet at the site of the injection, and there has been no improvement, it has only worsened. She had watery diarhea this morning, and threw up as well. She has been sleeping all day with no energy. The vet said we should wait until we get her fecal sample results back tomorrow, but I am worried about keeping her sustained through the night and into the day tomorrow, as she is only 1.7 lbs. I have been able to get her to eat some wet ‘appetizer’ treats (about a spoonful) mixed with water, and some freeze dried chicken giblets. I spoke to an online vet for a second opinion, and they suggested that we try to give her plain yogurt and Gastropect from the pharmacy. (1ml, 2-3x a day)
Has anyone experienced similar symptoms following deworming/vaccines/metrodiazonol? What can I do to get nutrition into her? I am new to caring for a kitten and I am so torn apart over her feeling like this.
