Wonderful news!  
  You must be so relieved!

And don't worry about the photo - we've seen lots of photos of poop accompanied by detailed descriptions and measurements.

Back with more poop! Does this look normal? She is still on the all milk diet for now and probably about a week longer but it does look a little more loose looking and pretty yellowy green to me. Should i worry?

It appears yellowish-brown to me, and of toothpaste consistency, which makes it normal poop for a formula-fed kitten. When she returns to solids it will be formed more like logs and should be brownish.

Has she gained any weight?

I've been giving it to her along with moist kitten food from last Wednesday when I got her (the 15th) until Monday (the 20th) when we took her to the vet, so she's gone from whatever the guy was feeding her at her old place to moist food and kitten milk to now just strictly kitten milk and occasionally some water. So kitten milk alone, 3 days now. Also she's still on her clavamox.

Where do you think?
Usually takes about a week for things to stabilize in my experience. When you change anything in the diet it throws things out of wack for a bit.

Okay good! :) I don't know about the weight unfortunately! I'm in the process of ordering one online but the one i HAD coming on the way I got an email saying it was out of stock and would be for 2 weeks so I'm finding a new one now and will probably have it within the week !

Hey guys! Quick question.. This is the milk she is drinking right now and will be until tonight when she finishes the rest of the little bit she has..


And this is the milk i bought her to switch to because i heard a lot of bad things about Hartz milk.



Is this okay for her? Will the switch be alot on her tummy again? Or will she be okay?

She's been on Hartz?! No wonder she had problems. I would throw it out and switch now. She should be fine on the PetAg powdered KMR. [emoji]128077[/emoji]

Hartz is the same company that makes those horrible flea collars that causes chemical burns on dogs necks. Definitely get her off of that.
