My nursing mama cat starting started throwing up on Thursday night. At first I thought she either ate too fast or she had a hair ball. Her poop later on that evening was a mustard yellow colour and she continued to throw up a little.
She had kittens almost 6 weeks ago. Yesterday she threw up again wth the same colour poop and 2 hours later one of her kittens had a bad eye.
I rushed them to the clinic to get them checked and the doctor said we needed to check the mama for feline panleukopenia. It was confirmed. It wasn’t a strong positive but a one strong line and one very faint line.
I had been in the vets office 4 days previous to pick up some food for our cat when a cat was diagnosed with it and I’m worried that was where it was caught. I broke down in tears at the vets office because I didn’t know what else to do. They took the one kitten and did injections of immune boosters and her mama was put on an iv drip.
Her other 2 kittens are still at home with me and I was informed that they most likely have it too and were given immune booster drops for them to hopefully help.
I went in this morning to visit. My mama cat who has never been in a cage has been angry and managed to remove her collar and pull the iv out. She only calmed down when I arrived to pet her.
The kitten still had a bad eye at the time.
I was informed at the time they were still eating well and looked strong.
I got a message an hour ago stating that since both our mama cat and kitten have arrived yesterday they still haven’t pooped as of now and that about an hour ago my mama cat and kitten (kitten just in case) had to be placed on antibiotics due to a cough and signs of upper respiratory disease. They are still eating.
I’ve got 2 babies at home who are now sneezing and I’m really worried.
My vet said that they hope they will make it as they look strong but not to get my hopes up to high as anything can change in a cat with panleukopenia.
I’ve been an absolute wreck since yesterday because I don’t know how they got it and I feel like I am to blame for this.
