I just recieved a little 7 week old kitten as a gift from my ex-girlfriend. I moved to a new city for school and was feeling a bit lonely.
When I got Charlie he seemed to be in good health. He recieved his first shots last week and has been de-wormed.
On his second day here (yesterday) he started having loose bowel movements. Then he was shooting out straight liquid. He also started vomiting a frothy tannish coloured liquid.
He hasn't eaten much since he came here. He's eaten absolutly nothing at all today. He wont even drink. He just sits by his water dish.
He threw up 5 times today I'd say by the puddles on my bathroom floor ( I was at school from 9am till 3pm). He is still sweet and purrs if i hold him and when he is resting he's okay.
When he tries to walk around he starts meowing like a mofo. Last night during diarreah he was meowing like a mofo too. Poor little guy. I've never had a cat before.
I'm thinking I'll head out to a drugstore and get him some electrolites to syringe feed him and take him to the vet tommorrow at around 1pm when I get off school.
Do you think I should wait or does this justify a trip to the pet emerg?
Thanks.
