The excessive drinking is most likely because of the diarrhea. Diarrhea can dehydrate them. You should have been given medication by your vet to hopefully help you get the diarrhea under control.

Is the kitten improving with nourishment? If she's truly sick, there's probably very little you can do, but I raised a kitten from 6oz and she had a lot of problems before she was finally healthy. Firstly, you have to feed them every 2-4 hrs (24/7), not just during the daytime. If they go too...

Royal Canin does make an HP food and it is a lot of carbs, only 23% protein which worked well for me because I also had a cat with kidney disease that ended up on the diet. It would concern me having a 4-month old on a food that low in protein, but I guess it depends how bad the allergy is as...

If it is Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex which can cause rodent ulcers, there is a relatively new treatment, called "Apoquel". My kitty had rodent ulcers on both sides of her upper lip and the back of her throat and it also caused her lymphnodes in her neck to become inflamed. Eosinophilic...

I have more experience than I would like at pilling cats. I have rescued many and kept all the kitties with medical conditions, including several feral cats. Whether a cat is easy to medicate or not and a lot aren't; I do not want to cause them excess stress anyway and some medications taste...

I would be very concerned with the dripping / small stream that he doesn't become reblocked. Given you said that your kitty now has energy to play, it's a good sign. If he were to become blocked again and he weren't treated, toxins would build up in his blood and he would not have energy to...

Firstly, no matter what the problem, the most important thing is that the cats eat.  If the "not eating" continues much longer, you give them whatever they'll eat. I don't know what country you're in, so it's hard to give specific advice, but there are prescription allergy diets if necessary...

It isn't true that if you stop prednisone / prednisolone after being on the medication for an extended period of time that the only problem will be a return of the old symptoms (with a vengeance or otherwise). Prednisone / Prednisolone are corticosteroids.  Cortisone is produced by your adrenal...
