We adopted a siamese/Thai kitten, he was 2.5 months old when we got him, he always had rectal prolapse after using litter, but still had appetite, was playful and active. After a few days his eyes got watery and I assumed he has parasites; before you ask why I didn't visit a vet, I unfortunately live in a 3rd world country and I had bad experience with 4 vets, the only ones who were somewhat trusted lived very far from my city.
I bought vibrac anti parasitic paste, he threw up 2 hours after it.
He got much worse the next day, not eating, there was diarrhea with blood and mucus in stool.. so I took him to the vet in that far city and took a sample of his stool to get analysis done; they confirmed
that he had parasites and the vet didn't want to take the sample and perform lab analysis, until I forced him to
The vet prescribed anti-parasitic tablets, I gave the kitten these tablets as it was decided.
Slowly but surely his stool stopped being bloody, he improved generally, rectal prolapse wasn't there anymore.
He ate royal canin dry baby cat food, about last week he turned 3months so I started giving him royal canin wet kitten food once a day, the first time I gave it, his stool was bloody, I got worried but reassured that the change in diet can cause blood in stool, the next day he was fine, stool normal, playful and active, had appetite... seems like finally everything was okay
Ofc not, 2 days later he was sleeping on my lap and suddenly he shat on me while he was asleep! It was a small turd. I got up, cleaned it all, and moved on
But today he was very playful and I looked away for a few mins and came back to see the same small sized poop in the middle of the floor, I'm getting very worried, could it be bowel incontinence? He's playful, eats well and overall seems like a healthy kitten except the past two days he has accidents.
I want to know if this is bowel incontinence or if its because he's small or maybe even the food doesn't suit him!
Please share your experiences I'll be very grateful for any information
