Nursing Mom Seems Skinny

[Sarthur2]

Metronidazole is an antibiotic and anti-parasitic medication that treats for infection and inflammation in the intestines, as well as kills any parasites.

It therefore frequently ends diarrhea.

Vets generally prescribe a 7-10 day course.

Ok, I will call the vet this afternoon and pick it up after work.

I just wanted to update everyone. The seven kittens will be 7 weeks old this Saturday and are doing great. They all have appointments to be fixed and they all have forever homes and we are keeping one of the girls. Gracie is still having diarrehea issues that I need to address, but it's been busy with the litter and working full time. She isn't in distress, but missing the litter box is getting exhausting. Enjoy.

Sorry, not sure why it posted so many duplicate pictures.

Regarding the mom cat misssing the litter box, have you tried taking the lid off permanently. I know a couple of cases where that worked even if priorly they had accepted the lid on. Good luck.
