I had to choose euthanasia for my FeLV positive male kitten two weeks ago. The surviving kittens have been doing well.
Their stool have been normal until it started getting smellier than usual. At this point, their appetite and pee - no problems whatsoever.
Then one day, I thought giving some wet food would help with their smelly poo > the smaller one didn't want it and only eats dry food.
Still eating fine at this point. I have been wondering if stress contributed to the change in stool.
Figured it was almost time for their deworming so I gave both of them Drontal about 9 days earlier than the actual date.
The smell has improved by now. But in the past few days, the smaller kitten that had previously dark, soft and lumpy poo doesn't seem to have much of an appetite.
Seeing that a week has passed since the Drontal, I got her another dose. Her stool is now formed but it's pasty on the inside, I suppose it's an improvement. Slightly tinged with green which I think is bile if she hadn't eaten enough. Both are still actively playing (interactive).
Still trying to get her appetite back up. Have been trying to source their monthly Advocate pipette (Advantage Multi in the U.S.) but it's out of stock everywhere.
Also worried that her pink toe beans/paws are a little pale as well*. They're due for their vaccination on the 15th (about 12 days time).
Any idea if it's most likely just worms or should I consider the possibility of the FeLV and associated secondary conditions?
*Due to their sibling having anaemia + FeLV.
I want to note that I have felt their stomachs, try to feed them often but it's more often feels like they're full? Really round.
