My parents brought home Friday an abandoned kitten, who's 2 months old. We took her to the ver saturday, she's too thin and had a swollen tummy, probably parasites. The vet gave her a pill for that. She tested the kitty for feline leukhemia and feline "AIDS", she's negative. She had a fever, but since she was active and eating, the vet said it could be due to stress.
She told us to keep an eye on the cat, and call her if she has diarhea (sp?) or if she vomited. We could also check her temperature, and we should call if she had more than 38,8º C.
When Cuca (the kitten) arrived, her stools were dark and firm, and last night they were a bif soft and light brown. I called the vet today, and she said to stop giving her the kitten milk, and that the soft stools were probably caused by the changes in food. Her stools got firmer during the day.
We have food at her disposal, she eats when she wants, we have a mix of Purina One for kittens and Royal Canin BabyCat. She eats a LOT, and also poops a lot. Just an hour ago, she vomited a LOT of food, it was all dry food. I'm worried because I don't know if she vomited because she got sick or because she ate too much.
My mom and I decided to check her temperature, I used a digital thermometer, but because Cuca was swirming and meowing, I was afraid I was hurting her and didn't let the thermometer in until it beeped. Her temperature had passed a bit the 39ºC.
I called the vet we took her to on Saturday, but it's closed and no one answered. It's midnight here
Other than that, she's active, she plays, she eats, drinks, meows, runs everywhere, jumps on just about every piece of furniture, she's not acting sick. We have an older cat (10year old), and they are getting to know eachother, he still hisses at her and tried to tell her he's in charge, but she sometimes gets scared and runs off. Can his presence be causing her stress, and hence the high temperature?
I am reading too much into this? Should I take her to an emergency vet right now? Or should I wait until tomorrow and see how she's doing?
