I was kind of wondering what everyone thought about this situation.
My daughter was given a kitten, that was bought by a friend from a local pet shop. It was supposed to be 12 weeks now but looks younger to me. Ever since they have had this kitten, about 2 and a half weeks or so it has had diahrrea. They took it to the vet and he did feline leuk. and FIV tests and they came back neg. He put the kitten on albon and some other kind of medication. He also did some fecal tests and ruled out any worms. She has taken the albon for 10 days now and she still has the diahrrea. She was also put on a diet of a special food for gastrointestinal problems, made by Purina, soft kind of like Tender vittles brand. She only weighed 1 pound 8 ounces on the 1st vet visit and now, a couple of weeks later she hasnt gained any weight. Today they upped the dosage of albon to 2 times a day and the other med too, I will ask later and find out what it is exactly is. The vet did some blood work on her today and will know more about it on thursday and he did an FIP test too, that will be back early next week. Also my daughters roommate has a cat too, and the kitten has probably been eating the adult cat food too, if she can get to it too. She just seems really small to me, the weight and all. She had no fever and is playful and eats and drinks well too. Any thoughts on what may be wrong, or how we may help her. Thanks!
