hello,
I am new here. I adopted a stray cat 4 weeks ago and he was around 4 weeks old. He had some problems at the beggining but now he is perfect. (Deworming etc...) He was lonely while we were at work so we decided get a new kitten. My husband found 3 albino cats on his work’s rooftop. Their mother doesnt take care of them (it was her first pregnancy) 3 sibling was almost get blind and my husband clean their eyes and gave medicine. He saved their eyes. And he found homes for 2 of them. He brought small one which nobody did not want him
. He is in our home for almost 4 days now. He was great at first. Eats, plays, normal poops. Great shape and colour of poop. But last night he was struggling in the litter. He had dark brown/black loosy poop at first. After that he started to make lighter small poops with more liquid shape. Around afternoon I found couple of blood drops. I took to the vet (in my country vets are not very good with pets mostly with cows, sheep etc...) Vet gave him Flagyl for cleanse of bowels and some probiotics and vitamin syrup. He thinks its related to parasites but he didnt run any tests. Just touch is belly and look his poop sample. After one day, we usad the medicine he make little more harder poop but still little blood on it. (Vet thinks cracks in the anal way) do you think I should use this for 5 days and wait - see or find another veterinarian? He is not that playfull, he tries to play he is mostly sleepy but he has appetite. He ate rice mash with chicken breast and some speacial canned food for sick cat.
Sorry It has been sooo long post but I am so worried I didnt even sleep for 2 days. He looks better though but still am anxious.
Ps. He is not drinking water so I gave water wth syringe every hour 2-4 ml as I found the intake amounts online. Any advice for dehydration?
Lastly english is my second language and if there is any mistake so sorry
