Hi everyone hope your day is well , I’m hoping anyone can help me . I rescued 11 foster kittens from the shelter all bottle babies the day they were supposed to be euthanized. I was only supposed to take three but someone brought the litter of 5 and another litter of 3 that day and they definitely put me on the spot saying they thought I was taking them all and that’s why they held them after hours for me . Lol I’m crazy I know . Anyways I had to take some of the kittens to the vet and that basically drained my entire bank account. I’m 23 working a minimum wage job which I’m almost positive I’m fired from because I haven’t been able to go back to work There are hardly any vets if any that have any availability so it was extremely hard just to get that appointment and I waited 6 hours each time in a waiting room. Once for the appointment and and a second time for medication. The diarrhea has Not Stopped and guess what… I now have diarrhea as well and it looks EXACTLY The same as the kittens . At this point I’m exhausted, overwhelmed and terrified. The vet basically told me he didn’t know and he obviously is overwhelmed with cases so I don’t think he really cares . I tried Albon and it didn’t work . At this point I don’t even have any more money to go back to a vet and the shelter told me they’re so overrun with animals that they have no one to take them . The shelter told me and I quote “ you can bring them back and we’ll have to euthanize them if they have diarrhea but you can have another group of kittens if you want “ . LIKE WHAT?!? I’m at my wits end and I just need advice , I’ve scoured the internet for days and can’t find anything . What the hell is infecting us ??? I’m just so tired .
I’ll attach picturesof the kittens diarrhea. I did suspect coccidia and tape worms but everyone’s saying you can’t treat tape worms until kittens are 6 weeks old ..these kittens have such bad diarrheathat if it keeps going this way they’ll most likely not make it ? I mean isn’t it super damaging and dehydrating to have diarrhea this bad, and yes I’ve been administering fluids . I feel their pain because it’s the same for me and I’ve lost all my appetite. This really sucks I’d love some advice . Sorry for the long post
I have successfully gotten three kittens Complete diarrhea free and they are in a separate room .All the other kittens are separated individually in the same room and I’ve been steam cleaning constantly . I’m suspecting coccidia or giardia, maybe even tape worms as well but like I said the vet was ZERO help .
