I found some kittens, took them in, had them vaccinated, rabies shots and dewormed. Feed them great food, they were happy healthy playful little things.
Then in the past couple days (just a few days after being vaccinated and all that), one just started seeming depressed almost and his fur became very oily and he stopped grooming himself. He was noticably thinner then the others, stopped drinking and eating as much. He slept a lot, moped around, etc. Then this morning he was very wobbly, dehydrated, lethargic and the other kitten with him earlier started getting the same way, she was even cold to the touch.
Since they were strays, I surrendered them to the Humane Society. They are great and the lady in charge of cats is really good and knowledgable. They are no time limit shelter. They only take in very ill or injured animals and they were glad I brought them in. The kittens were immediately going to the vet I heard them say. I am going to call them tomorrow to see if they found out anything and if my cats are at risk. Mine are all vaccinated thank god.
Anyways, does this sound like anything familiar to anyone? For the past few days, as soon as I realized the one kitten seemed a little off, I seperated them. There was actually a third kitten who has been seperated from the bunch which until just a few hours ago seemed absolutely normal and I was grateful she didn't catch whatever the others have. Now this third kitten is just sort of laying around, not her normal talkative self. Just in a few hours!! I KNOW she is getting the same thing!
What is this??
