Always check for dehydration in poorly kittens.
HAND REARING KITTENS
Antibiotics are usually necessary too, to save them.
Ive had the same problem with diahriah in my bengals kittens and vomiting,my little girl passed away last week,it started when she was 6 weeks,constant trip to vets,antibiotics,vitamin injection,poo samples,blood tests,syringe feeding and hydration drinks you name it she had it,i decided last weds to leave her at the vets as she was vomiting so much.now ive just got used to her not beeing here,the other 4 kittens got diahriah yesterday and its a greenish/grey and are off there food,oh my life its heartbreaking i have appt in ten mins im so worried as little jazmine faded so quickly oh all her results were fine!!!!
