Urgent! Very Ill Kitten

[Sarthur2]

Yes, goat's milk is excellent. Just rub the coconut oil on with a cotton ball as often as necessary to keep her bottom comfortable.

It's very good that she passed stool, and is eating and drinking. Also sounds like the antibiotic is helping.

Keep up the nice job! I hope she turns the corner soon. Poor baby!

Update: Jojo passed very large soft stool. Her fever is gone. But she is still fighting food and water. We’re still force feeding her through the syringe. She shed a lot of fur. She can’t meow properly. She is still weak, lethargic and looks very sick. She also sounds congested.

Thank you for the update! It is hard to know if she has some sort of worms or parasite that are specific to your area. I would definitely boil her water or better yet, give her bottled water because the chemicals in tap water can be irritating. Goat milk is great, especially raw!

During the force feeding she spits out her food. Any reason why she is fighting food and water? Could there be something in her throat causing her pain?

Unfortunately I couldn’t get the goat milk today, but fresh goat milk will be delievered to us tomorrow. We gave her some egg yoke today. As for her water I boil it. Everything we give her is clean and organic, very different from the street lifestyle she is accustomed to.

Will check out the article.

She may be also having nausea. I would look up StefanZ's previous post about honey water/electrolyte replacement. I have to drive into town for catsitting but when I return, I will check for updates.

Is my little one in pain? She started making these noises in her sleep.

Yes I’m following StefanZ’s tip. I recorded 2 videos of Jojo making strange sounds in her sleep. I tried posting 1, not sure if it went through.

I’m waiting for fresh goat milk, please let me know if I should give her some.

By all means, yes. It is one of the things we recommend for bottle-rearing orphaned kittens. With the goat's milk, she will get her nutrients, even if she won't eat.

Is this normal for a sick kitten

It isn't uncommon.

Keeping a candle lit for this little one. You have a struggle ahead of you. Bless you for caring.

Adding my prayers to MamaNYT's candle.

Is there anyway that you can consult an online vet? Perhaps the other common antibiotics used for intestinal problems would be more effective. Perhaps metrodiazonole or sulfasalazine - met is also used in protozonal infections. It is so frustrating for you - I salute you for not giving up on her- for giving her loving care and comfort.

 

[Sarthur2]

The medicine is spelled metronidazole. It helps fight parasites and aids the gastro-intestinal system.

You would need to upload your videos to YouTube first, then post the link here.

Update: My baby Jojo is feeling so much better. Fever and constipation are gone. We’ve been giving her fresh goat milk. She is now moving around and jump. She still hasn’t gotten her voice back and refuses to drink voluntarily (we suspect sore throat) so it’s force feeding till she feels better.

After much research we think Jojo has the flu. Many of her symptoms seem to be in line with the cat flu. Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes. I have hope we can rescue my precious little angel. Joj and I wish you all blessed and happy holiday.

This is good to hear! If she gets no better, or worse, see a vet for antibiotics.

 

[Mamanyt1953]

Oh, very good news! Any step forward for her, given the situation, is a triumph for you! She's a beautiful little thing, isn't she?

She is precious.

Update: Great news, my little princess is eating and drinking on her own. She got her appetite back and boy is she eating. She got her energy back as well, and now she constantly wants attention from us. Unfortunately she still hasn’t gotten her voice back, but she is definitely on her way to full recover.

Thank you everyone for your well wishes and prayers. Jojo sends you all hugs and kisses.

Never! My baby and I are definitely here to stay. As a new mama to a feline, I will need all the help and guidance I can get.
