What a great site. I have been brought a 5-6 wk old kitten that was abandoned and he got diarrhea when I was giving him KMR so I started him on soaked hard kitty food which continued the diarrhea and caused a small prolapse. So I got some dewormer from the vet. After I found this site and read some advice from catwoman707 who talked of the pumpkin trick (which worked like a charm) and putting them on baby food/yogurt/probiotics which also worked great. I also used coconut oil on his butt and some hydrocortisone cream which seems to be taking care of things. so after four days I tried introducing some chicken pate and he was back to diarrhea again. So I went and got some more chicken baby food. What am I doing wrong? Also, is there a safe, home remedy for ear mites or is it safest to take him to the vet?
ThanksThat's exactly what I did once I was sure they were no longer dehydrated. I just mixed it 80-20. The 80 being water.
