Hello Friends,
I have a 5 month old kitten named Siri. She's had diarrhea since I got her and the previous owner said she had it even a little while before. Today the vet said she has giardia in her feces. The vet gave me pills to feed her but she also injected something to help her stomach lining or something like that. The injection went in between her shoulders like usual and everything was fine. We just got home though (vet is closed now and won't pick up phone) and there is a weird oily, greasy patch of fur around the injection area. I ran my hand through it and it felt like grease but somehow dryer and the smell is very odd. I don't know if you've ever smelled the stuff that unflavored medical pills are made out of, like ibuprofen or aspirin? That's what it smells like.
Shoukd I be concerned? Is this a normal reaction? Thank you for your help!
