Hello, everyone
Two of our four kittens are having very unusual bowel movements. Today, my little one Terp, had almost projectile diarrhea. It came out quickly and in little spurts. Then she proceeded to sprint across the house spurting as she went.
I took her to the vet for her distemper shot, brought a sample and had them do a check on her stool. The vet said that there was “nothing abnormal”. I do not trust this vet any more. There’s no way that red diarrhea with specs in it can be normal! They gave me a topical wormer for her to take with, so I gave some to her, and some to our other kitten that was having problems. I bought diatomaceous earth and have been giving them a dose appropriate for their weight for a week now. We went three days with no accidents on the floor, but now Terp’s symptoms are worsening again. I haven’t seen any diarrhea from either of our black kittens. Not once. Just the two grey tabbies.
We’re feeding them Kit and Kaboodle for their dry food, and I give them just a bit of Friskies Pate with their diatomaceous earth. They are all eating and drinking normally, appear hydrated, and are playful. It’s just a few times a day I see accidents on the carpet. For the first time yesterday I saw Terp dry heave once, but nothing before or since. I’ve treated them with the best flea medication possible(from the vet) and put diatomaceous earth on their coats as well. I’m wondering if this is an allergic reaction to the food or if the mixture is making them ill? As soon as humanly possible(probably Saturday morning) I am going to get better food and that’s going to be that. I will powder it with the diatomaceous earth and no more of this swill! It’s primarily my girl Terp that is still appearing ill, though she’s the one that went to the vet. I have worked on a farm and could administer antibiotics if need be. I have sealed syringes available. Is there something I could buy at a farm store to help with this?
Any feedback would be so greatly appreciated. I am worried about them.
Sincerely,
Whale
