How old are they now?
Are they still feeding off mum?
Is their worming up to date?
What are they being fed on?
Do they have raised temperatures?
Are your other cats fine?
Does any cat in your cattery have loose stools or a "sensitive stomach"?
What did vet suggest today?

Re: Poorly 7 week old kitten

O dear, I'm afraid you've got something very nasty there. I went through a stage where I was losing whole litters like that and we never did get to the bottom of it. It was several years after that before I began to relax with kittens and diahorrea! The trouble is at 6-7 weeks they are so very vulnerable. I do hope they will be OK but if not, please put everything on hold if you can, and if you have any other litters on the way or below 6 weeks disfinect, isolate, use kitten pens, outdoor pens, whatever you have to. Eventually you will clear it and then you can get back to normal.

Liz

One of my kittens has had diorrohea and sickness for about 3 days, I took him to the vets yesterday and she thought it could be because I give him Lactol kitten milk but yet the other 3 are fine and they also have this kitten milk, she gave him a jab of anti-biotics to stop him from being sick and having diorrohea. She told me to stop giving them the milk and to stop feeding them raw chicken, so they just have whiskers kitten wet food, however the poorly kitten wont eat from my hand or from the plate, he's just not interested, he's laid next to the heater on his little blanket, he's gotten so lethargic and skinny in such a short space of time.
I was worried about him not eating so i mixed some kitten food with water and put some in a syringe, he had 5ml of it, so im going to do this maybe every 2 hours?
If you think i could be doing any thing else, or think i should be feeding him more/less oftern please let me know, it will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Sarah
Aww bless the little kitten, make sure he drinks plenty of water to stop dehydrating, I have Nutri-cal for my puppies and my mate have the same for her cats, you can give it to kitten too,,it gives them a booste to their system and all the vitamins and suppliements in it. It can be given to convalesing cats etc etc. Ask your vet if you can give a little of this, it helps them to start eating again. Only a suggestion but I always keep a tube in my cupboard. I think you giving the kitten food with a little water is a good idea at least it is having something. If it is still the same or goes down hill again I would definatly see the vet again to see if there are other heath issues with him. xxx
