I adopted a 10 week old kitten, well anyway the person I got her from says she is 10 weeks old but she is TINY, she looks like shes 6 weeks old and she can't even meow yet. I took her to the vet today and the vet did confirm that she is 8-10 weeks old because of her teeth.
Well the first bowel movement this kitten had in my home was normal but every one after that has been diahrrea and then we noticed that after she goes, the inside of her but comes outside of her body, I think about 1/4 inch? Not sure.
So I asked the vet about rectal prolapse and she said that usually its only animals that do not have tails that get rectal prolapse and that it is probably happening because she has worms and she is trying to poop them out but is having a hard time getting them out.
She put a dose of revolution on my kitten so I guess that should take care of the worms, but what do you think? Do you think shes right that it isn't rectal prolapse? I'm still worried.
