Campylobacter in Kittens

[flutterby68199]

Has anyone ever had a kitten diagnosed with this? I took a 4 m/o kitten to the emergency vet last night and the DR there said that she saw more of this bacteria than she would like. I have an appt. with my reg vet today but wanted to see if anyone was familiar with this...Thanks this is a great site

Just be careful when scooping the box or cleaning up any accidents. It's a bacteria so it's zoonotic - meaning it's transmissible from your infected cat to you - and anyone else (pets included) in your home.

Be extra careful with hygiene for a few days till the antibiotics kick in! You'll def. know it if you get it and you will NOT be happy. Hope your kitty is feeling better soon.

Good Lord be careful! I had that once...*shudder*.
Let's say it does a very good job at allowing you to lose many pounds in less than a week.
