I got a kitten from a shelter about three weeks ago. She has had diarrhea pretty much the whole time. There have been a few more solid looking poops, but mostly diarrhea.
She has been dewormed a bunch of times. Just to be safe, the vet gave another round of deworming pills - the last one she takes today, but this is I think the third time she's been dewormed in her 4 months of life.
As the poop wasn't quitting, the vet tested for Coccidia - test came back negative.
He gave us a medication called Metronidazole, which is supposed to help treat diarrhea and Giardia, and told us to see how she is after taking that. Tomorrow will be her last day on it, and it hasn't helped. She had diarrhea on the floor overnight.
We also put her on intestinal friendly food. No matter what the food, she loves to eat and she isn't dehydrated. She has gained a bit of weight since we've had her.
Anyone have any ideas of things I should ask the vet about when we go back?
