We have a litter of kittens born two months ago, they have been perfectly healthy until a week ag one of them started to throw up and have diarrea and was losing weigt fast. It was a weekend so took him to an emergency vet, he said there was a bug going around that many kittena arouns the area are catching and prescribed Metronidazole and Nutri-Cal. By the next day he was skin and bones and his brother and sister got sick as well, we rushed them to our usual vet, he gave more Metronidazole and gace us Hill's r/d wet food, said to lay off the Nutri-cal because it was making matters worse. By the next day diarrea and vomiting had stopped but they were still looaing weight, we lost the first kitten within a few hours. We rushed back to the vet with the whole litter because another sister got sick and the others were showing aigns of starting somwthing. We left the two girls and boy with the vet and took the rest for home treatment. This time tryinf hill's a/d, pedialyt, fortiflora powder and pencrea powder Plus as well as iv fluids. By the next morning the second boy died. Today the girls that are at the vets office seem to be getting better, or at least no change for the worst the babies at home are getting more solid stool but have an unbelivable appetite. I have been feesing a can a day for everyone, they had bwarly finished that, today I went through a can and a half and had to stop offering becauae their tummies seem full and I do not want to overfeed but still dosen't look like anybody is gaining their weight back.
We lost the two boys and it does not seem like it is the same bug that is going around. While we are trying to figure this out abd treating it we are also trying to research and find anybody who has seen this happen and might know what it might be.
List of symptoms is as following
Starts with vomiting - yellow foamy and sometimes white
Vomiting stops and is replaced with watery yellow diarrea
Fast weoght loss and the inebillity to gain it back even when diarrea is under control
Sleepiness and weakness
No major loss of apetite but less eating and still drinking
Mother is perfectly healthy as well as the dad
Will appriciate any input or similar experience you might have had with thia
