Hi, After being told about a sad ad, Wednesday night I got a rescue kitten from some people who couldn't afford vet care. She turned out to be 6 weeks old. I took her to the vet. She was given anti-diarrheal medicine, wormer, probiotic powder and recovery/ convalescent food. Everything went well, 'till we ran out of prescription food.
The vet didn't want her to get it indefinitely. I've tried other quality kitten food. Since her diarrhea is still intermittent, I also have tried Fruitables pumpkin for pets with goat's milk, as recommended by a competent pet store employee. She won't eat anything.
It's Thanksgiving weekend here and the vet made it clear that being on recovery food indefinitely was a bad idea anyway, though, I must say, it's the best smelling cat food I've ever smelled.
She has a follow up appointment on Tuesday morning, but, meanwhile, what would entice her to eat? I could cook. What would I make? I have a whole shelf of a variety of wet kitten food. She doesn't like it.
I've no idea what they were feeding her.
I also feel like I'm in a battle of wills with a teeny, tiny kitten. She doesn't seem to understand that I don't actually have any more prescription food.
What would you suggest? I'm used to cats (!), not kittens.
Thank you very much! Her name is Rafaela Puff.
