Hey, all. I wanted to see if anyone else has had similar experiences with their kitten or immunocompromised cat.
Background: we’ve already been to the emergency vet, and we’re waiting to hear back on a fecal test. She’s on antibiotics for the next 5 days to help with any possible GI-related bacterial infections, and they gave her an anti-nausea med (just at the clinic, no arc for us to give her more). They ruled out Panleukopenia. She has been dewormed twice, once at 6 wks, once at 8 wks, and received first set of vaccinations. She’s now about 11 weeks old, and she’s a rescue kitten.
On Sat night, she vomited and had diarrhea. This continued until we took her to the ER vet on Mon. We immediately switched to a bland diet on Sun and withheld food Sat night. She was still playing and acting kitten-like, with no refusal of food. On Mon, she refused food, so we took her in.
The vet wasn’t sure what it could be other than a possible mysterious bacterial infection or a parasite like coccidia. Does anyone have thoughts? Experiences? The vet didn’t exactly give us a lot of info other than to say if it’s not better in two days, go back:-(. She’s not eating today, which I assumed she wouldn’t bc of the antibiotic. We are syringe feeding her water, carefully, but I’m worried that we need to do more. Like I said, she’ll go back in I’m two days, I’m just really hoping someone might have insights. She’s my baby!
Thank you!
