She's so sweet but stinky lol.
I just adopted my sweet girl this past Saturday from my vet's rescue and she has rotten egg-esque gas and diarrhea since she came home. They estimated that she's about 8 weeks but I think she's younger than that as she is still getting teeth and can't really handle dry kibble, she's long and lanky like a runway model with legs for days. I didn't have a spare bedroom or crate so I modified a pack n play crib as I have another cat Im introducing her to.
She was coughing and sneezing for a few hours Saturday but it stopped by that evening. She's sneezing like once a day or less now but she opens her mouth when purring sometimes like she's mouth breathing but not panting. She was sent home with science diet kibble for kittens and I got her some canned kitten food (fancy feast kitten, will switch to wellness once her tummy troubles are over). I didn't abruptly change her diet. Her stools were loose saturday and turned to yellow watery/mucousy diarrhea by sunday. She has had rotten egg smelling gas since I picked her up. She wasn't really eating and very sleepy but I managed to get pedialyte and some baby food meats in her. She went to the vet monday and they saw for themselves what we are dealing with. Her fecal test came back clean and she's on an antidiarrheal for 3 days. She had one solid stool yesterday but it didn't last, my poor girl sounds like a ketchup bottle being squeezed. The smell so bad that after she uses the litter box she's crying to get out the crib
. I try to let her explore but if she passes gas there is poop everywhere or on me, so I keep her on a blanket or puppy pad at all times. I have never experienced this with a kitten before. Im weighing her daily ( 839-841g) and syringe feeding her pedialtye to keep her hydrated. Other than that she's a total purring cuddle bug (she purrs nonstop
) and I am in love.
Is there anything I can feed her to help bind things and to soothe her little bottom? I can get her to eat about 2 teaspoons of wet food but thats it, she's using her litter box regularly, and drinks water. I called our vet and she has an appointment Friday. According to her medical records she's vaccinated and de-wormed. I just want to keep my little girl healthy. Are there other things I should have her tested for?
