I'm trying to help a neighbor out, so I apologize if my information is not complete.
She's been bottle-feeding a pair of kittens (about 3 - 3.5 weeks old now). She's new to this, but she's trying. Kittens developed diarrhea a week ago. When I saw them it was absolute liquid, and had blood in it. Kittens were wormed and started on Albon a few days ago. They showed modest improvement (stool was still soft, but more like oatmeal than dirty water, and no more blood.) They put on 2 oz each in the last week.
Then today she sent me this pic (below). She also said the babies were lethargic and didn't show any appetite at their afternoon feeding.
Any ideas what's going on or what she should do? It's Friday night - she won't be able to see a vet before Monday, and we all know that babies aren't always resilient enough to wait that long.
