Hey everyone.
My wife and I adopted 2 kittens a couple of weeks ago. Different litters. One is a maine coon DLH mix. The other is a DLH Persian mix. They are respectively 13 weeks and 9 weeks old. When we got the kittens they both had some sort of a bacterial infection in their intestines. They both had very liquid elimination, not much of an appetite, and weren't very playful. we took them to a vet and got a prescription. We completed the prescription and all of the above symptoms cleared up.
A couple weeks went by without any issue, but just last night our 9 week old kitten started walking around our apartment meowing incessantly. She then ran about 2 feet from the litter box (she urinates in it, but she doesn't like eliminating in it) and had a very liquid elimination. We tried putting her in the litter box, but she jumped out and ran away. About an hour later, she came into the room meowing in the same way, but this time she vomited clear foam. She again ran away. She wasn't very playful for the rest of the night.
She had another very liquid elimination about a half hour ago, and we don't know what to do.
How do we make her use the litter box to eliminate? Her routine hasn't changed at all, and there hasn't been any added stress. What made her have the liquid elimination? What should we do as the owners?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. We only have so much cleaner left! they are eating blue (the brand) kitten food.
