Hi,
I am new to this site and a newly formed cat person I feel horrid in saying I wasn't a cat person before falling in love with my Mushky. I am an expat living in Turkey. A month ago I found Mushky outside my door snuggled close to the bin for warmth. She clearly wasn't well so I couldn't leave her out. I took her to vets, she was injected some medicine and thankfully got better. I realised in a matter of hours I had fallen in love and could not abandon her, and so my feral cat became a member of my household.
To cut a long story short, the past few days she has again not been well. Last week it started with diarrhoea. I was given a medicine (KONTIL? TURKEY) by the vet and used it for 3 days. The diarrhoea stopped but for the past 3 days she has been vomiting. She only vomits once in the morning, it is dark brown with bits in sometimes. She's playful, behaves normal and seems to be eating and drinking fine. Today I took her again to the vet and was told she has an infection. The vet injected her with antibiotics. The problem is I do not trust my vet and feel horrible with all this medicine my poor Mushky is receiving. This is the only vet in this town I live in and apparently vets in the other cities here in the south east of Turkey are not much better. She will follow up with another injection tomorrow and the next day.
I would like to know has anyone experiences anything similar and are there any recommendations for me?
Thank you!!!
