Poor little Cami!  Why does kittenhood have to be so stressful?!  Your stool description sounds all too familiar.  Linus was the same, it would go from yellow and bloody mucus and then started to get more and more tannish brown.  He would go up and down, but the brown stools were his first sign...

Also, if you haven't already, you might want to get Cami a separate litter box so your other cuties don't get sick.  When Linus was at his worst he would drip on his way to the litter box (disgusting I know!), but the vet said to make sure to keep my dog in a separate room because it's passed...

CarlosTrio- I'm so sorry you have to go through this too!  I think its a good sign that your little one is still interested in food.  I'm glad Cami likes KMR - it should only go up from here.  For us it has been a long road to recovery!  Linus is STILL on Albon and even has a second medication...

Hi everyone.  Thanks for the feedback and comments!  Sorry for not updating sooner but I went to work today because Linus is doing better!  Catsallaround- I'm sorry to have worried you!!!  And Catwomen707, I thought it was strange they didn't do blood work too, but I think the vet was right...

On sunday night they said it was normal but they did not tell me what it was.  After thinking he was starting to get better I am back to being discouraged.  He is having trouble finding the litter box.  I can tell when he's looking and I put him in it... but why is he confused?  He ate again, so...

Yes, that gave me some hope. He is back to being lethargic, and his eyes don't look so good but it could be due to the medicine.  And he is still having some anal leakage.  But he just ate a ton again! And I mixed in over a teaspoon of wet food with the chicken, rice and tuna and he ate it all...

Update: Right before we went to the vet, Linus decided he would eat (so I was very late to our appointment because I wasn't going to stop that)!  He ate one bite of kibble and gagged.  So I got the rice, chicken and tuna out and he ate like crazy.  I mixed in a tiny bit of wet food and he...

Belle8Babe- I did try that with no luck.  Though maybe I will try again after he takes his anti nausea medicine.  I think that helped him eat last night.   And Catsallaround- we haven't gotten an x-ray.  And yes, he was nursing until we got him.  And I have never heard of liver shunt.  Are the...

Catwoman- Thanks for your advice.  Though he's already started albon :(.  I literally had no idea so just trusted the vet.  But it would be so much better if he would heal sooner! A month scares me.  I really don't want him to feel like this for that long, and I really want him to eat.  I think...

mrsgreenjeens- I have tried KMR but it was on Thursday or Friday.  I still have some in the fridge but I imagine it has gone bad by now?  He wouldn't drink it then, but I could try again. Could I put it on his food?   He is going to the vet with yet another fecal sample.  We are not going to do...

Thanks everyone.  StephanZ - he is loosing weight. He was over 2 lbs. the first time I took him to the vet and now he is under.  But he is still eating, though still not able to fully control his bowel movements.  He has also been begging for me to pet him- I think he actually want me to groom...

Thanks everyone for your replies.   Missgreenjeens, When he was getting the chicken he hardly ate much rice, only what grains I could sneak him.  Since we've been home from the vet he's had tuna and rice.  The vet said that the tuna water over rice might make him more interested.  He has eaten...

I called and they said, he went to the bathroom on the ground likely because he is not able to control his anus due to retrieving a fecal sample. They said I could bring him back in for blood work, but there is not much else they can do.  I think the last trip was very stressful for the little...
