I just adopted an 11 week old girl kitten on Thursday from an organization that traps cats and spays them. This kitten's mom was an outside cat and the kittens were born inside and stayed with a foster mom. The foster mom rescheduled with my husband 3 times in a week saying one kitten has coccidia and she was getting them all tested and treated which is fine with me, better safe than sorry. Well she said she didn't suspect ours having it so we could pick her up the next day. It was rescheduled once again because the lady that ran the place got her stool tested and it was negative. We picked her up Thursday and she told us she checked her for fleas and said she had none. She's the runt of the litter and she told us the foster mom only fed her one tablespoons of wet kitten food a day. We brought her home and within a few hours I noticed she had worms. I weighed her and she is only 1.27 pounds but she's ate a ton since we've brought her home. I noticed a flea on her tonight. I feel maybe this kitten wasn't watched so closely to have these two things. My husband is calling the vet Monday about taking her in or just picking up medicine. I feel worried about her being such a low weight with the worms. I know they can take her nutrients. Will she be okay until Monday??
Thank you!
Thank you!
