Hello all. I just found a 10 week old kitten outside my house last Friday night. It's been insanely hot where I live, plus my neighborhood isn't a good one for cats (dogs running loose, and humans with awful intentions), so I took him in, and fed him. The next day, he had horrible, uncontrollable diarrhea, and things just went south from there. On Monday, he felt terribly hot and feverish. I took him to the vet the next day, who checked him out, and sent him home with some food (which he would not eat or keep down). I ended up force feeding him baby food chicken and pedialyte that night, and took him back on Wednesday. The vet gave him some Clavamox, (finally), and gave him a bolus for dehydration. On Thursday, he started out horribly, then all of a sudden came to life, and flung himself on some dry food I had out for my other cats, growling and clawing at them as if he were starving. Then, after three bites, he wandered off, and looked rather sick.
I took him back to the vet today who said he doesn't know what's wrong (possibly a virus or distemper or something), gave him another bolus, and sent him home.
Any ideas what I can do? I'm beside myself trying to help him. I've never been to this vet before (I recently moved), but he was well recommended to me. I'm just worried to death over this little one. Thanks...
