OK. My problem is with 2 of my 6 kittens.
I will start off by explaining that I have been taking care of them for a little over a week (LILO, (the momma) got an abcess and a fever of 106 with it and all her milk dried up from the fever). When this happened they were not quite 4 weeks old yet.
Well they are now on a kitten food and I add water to it to make it softer. They have been reunited with LILO in her room b/c I thought now that she is better that they need to be around her b/c of how small they are. Well 2 of the kittens seem to be a little sick. There little butts are like swollen out. Their butts look bigger than the rest. And also they always get alot of poop on their butts. It isnt really loose poop but its not hard either.
I have been in and out of the vet with LILO and Garfield these past 2 months and I am just drained money wise. One of the kittens had a bladder infection before this incident and he gave her Amoxicillan. I have been giving all the kittens this for 2 days now. I give to the ones that are not sick so they dont get what the others have.
I dont think the 2 babies are THAT sick b/c they still play and eat great. But what could it be?
I live in a very small town and we only have 2 vets here and neither one of them are that great. It takes me taking my cats to them over and over and it still does not solve what is wrong with them.
I have spent so much money and Lilo still even has loose stool. This is my next question. Lilo started having loose stool during her last 2 weeks of pregnancy. She had the babies and continued having loose stool but I was told it is normal for nursing mothers to have loose stool. But she has not been nursing for over a week now and she still has it. No change of foods are anything.
I feel so bad b/c I know if I take her back to the vet I will get nothing solved and more money out of my pocket!!
Pleas any advice will be so great!!
