I am fostering a kitty that gave birth to 5 healthy babies, 5 weeks ago. She has had terrible diarrhea the whole time she has been with me (6 weeks). She's been to the vet several times, and she has not responded to any of the suggested treatments, (high fiber diet, probiotics, pumpkin, chicken and rice). The vet suspects she has a lingering infection or parasite. She is currently on flagyl and panacur. Because she cannot pass this into her milk, we have had to separate the babies from mom in separate rooms. The babies seem to be okay, they eat on their own, and don't cry as long as we play with them. But the mom wanders around crying, and her nipples seem very full. Is there anything I can do to relieve her discomfort? It looks like milk engorgement.
They can be reunited once she finishes her 7 day course of flagyl, but by then, the babies will probably no longer be interested in her milk.
