I dont know what to do...she just got sick again!!!!
I'm sorry...forgive me if I lost track, but how is her poop? Is she pooping regularly? Recently? The top 3 reasons I can think of for vomiting, given her age and situation are constipation, the antibiotics, or worms.Originally Posted by mygirl919

I would call the vet back and tell them how she's doing. The vomiting and runny stools will dehydrate her. Almost all kittens are born with roundworms.Originally Posted by mygirl919
yeserday...poop was white and loose-becoming runny. Now today - it is pink(think b/c of the amoxicillen) and runny...nothing solid. Poop was already becoming runny before antibotics which started last night around 600pm. The stuff that he put on her neck was for fleas and ear mites...not worms.
They did not check for worms- no sample. Asked when I got one to bring it in.
Her temp was also 104.5 at the vet.
I have found Revolution to be pretty effective for roundworms, so yes - they should be clearing up. It's a good idea to follow up 4 weeks later. Your vet may suggest doing it a bit earlier, as a worm life cycle is slightly shorter than that time frame...so it may be necessary to treat again a bit early and/or treat with some "worm specific" medicine rather than the general topical treatment she got.Originally Posted by mygirl919
I have noticed last night and some this morning that once she gets done using the bathroom she wipes her butt on the floor (Ive see dogs do this..but never cats)...is she just trying to get the poop off (still has diarrhea) or is it something else?
If she does have worms- will the Revolution medicine that she got Wed take care of it?
