Hi guys so I got 2 new kittens last week one is a boy (Marley) and a girl (Sassy). They were found in a garage they are approximately 5 weeks. The mom would no longer take care of them. Since arrived, our male kitten is using his litter box by himself and is climbing around everywhere. They are both eating Blue wilderness wet food mixed with KMR 2nd step milk. Last Saturday it seemed like the girl was constipated and I was afraid she would strain herself and I made the mistake of giving her regular milk. She started having diarrhea. I took her to the vet 3 days later and they gave her fluids and put her on an antibiotic. That was 2 days ago, since then she hasn't stopped peeing on herself, she was sleeping and got her bottom half soaked! She doesn't even make the effort to use the litter box. When she does try, she sits there and poops very little and then gets up and poops under the couch. I've had to use kitty wipes on her daily. But it seems like every time I clean her she starts to poop and pee on herself again. Constantly throughout the day there's poop stuck on her tail, legs and bottom feet and staining everywhere. I've already given her 3 baths, I know I'm not supposed to bathe her so much, but the smell of the diarrhea she had mixed with the urine was unbearable! She was even thankful after each bath. Obviously I can't bathe her everyday. Her anus is also really swollen, but I figured it's irritated. She is very playful and eating well, however she never lifts her tail. Any suggestions on what might be going on and how to get her to use the litter box, or help on why she isn't using it and the other kitten is. She also won't climb on anything and is a little wobbly on her back feet. Should I take her to the vet again ? Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you
