The neighbors threw their very pregnant cat out, and she decided our place was the maternity ward. 5 days ago, she birthed 6 kittens, and ever since then she's had odd smelling watery diarrhea... Two days ago, her appetite was gone, and she vomited up whatever she did eat.
After a trip to the vet, we were told she's making milk (I've been supplementing around the clock), she somehow was not dehydrated, and we should worm her with Profender. Oh, she was also given a shot of anti-nausea meds, those worked great for about 15 hrs.
I thought the profender was for later, after weaning the kittens. When I called the vet today to tell her that the kitty vomited again sometime in the early morning hours, she gave me oral anti nausea meds, and said put the profender on now.
I did it, but then washed it off in an hour because she wanted to be with the babies. Was I wrong? It's a vet who us brand new to us, though she was highly recommended. I hate my distrust of both human and animal Dr's, but it's there. Any info from people who have had a lactating female that needs to be wormed, tell me your experiences. Please! Thanks in advance for your time.
