It's been a week since I had 3 of 4 of my foster kittens "crash". Thankfully, all survived.
So, they have been doing really well, but just cannot get them to gain weight. Most likely reason is the diarrhea they've had since last Thursday. At first I wondered if it was whatever virus that caused their collapse. However, several days later and after trying pumpkin and a few other tricks, the one kitten had white/grey liquid. :/
I had a bugger of a time getting a sample that wasn't coated with litter.
Anyways....coccidia
The vet put them on Baycox which I have never used. Well, the kittens freaked when I dosed them. Frothing at the mouth +++ So, it tastes horrible. Thankfully, it's just once a day for 3 days but does anyone have any tips to make it more palatable?
They were quite distraught and not very impressed with me...
