I have a 9 month old cat & 4 four month old kitten. Last week I was helping rescue 5 feral kittens that I kept in an outdoor inclosure and I noticed they were sick. They vomited and had bad diarrhea. They were given meds for the vomiting and antibiotic and they got better after 2 days.. Now whenever I handled them I washed my hands with antibacterial soap & disinfected. But my not vaccinated indoor only kittens started vomiting and having the same symptoms. Not eating or drinking.. vomiting everything including their own stomach acids. I took them to the vet & she said it could be a viral infection that was carried indoors as well. She gave them the same meds the ones out side took. But it didnt work because they couldnt keep it in their belly for more than 15 minutes. So now I have to go to the vet daily to get injections and glucose so they dont get dehydrated. 2 of them started showing interest in food.. just tasting it.. But one of them hasnt eaten anything.. she started drinking little water. and basically the glucose shot is the only thing giving her energy. Their 9 month old cat is fine.. she is vaccinated,, though I noticed a change in her appetite.. Could this be because I changed the brand of their wet food?? They stopped eating Felix kitten food. So I switched them to 9lives then they wouldnt eat it. They are very moody with their wet food I dunno why. Please help me I am confused and they are exhausted from all this vomiting.

As soon as they are better you really need to get them their kitty vaccines.
