Tiny kitten with non stop diarreah?

Question

This little kitten, now almost 5 weeks was an abandoned baby at about 3 weeks of age. It was dehydrated, malnurished and the first visit to the veterinarian gave me an answer to the stool sample that it was not suffering from Coccidia and although it may have feline leukemia, that is not clear because they could not draw enough blood to test, in the kittens aenemic condition. So I left it for the day, it was rehydrated and given drops for diarreah, prescription food and eye ointment. Eyes have cleared up, its bones were soon hidden and it showed more robust playfulness but the big killer is that the diarreah will not stop. Back to the vet we go and I'm told to dispense with the prescription food and move to kitten chow moistened with warm water, also the suggestion to use some kitten milk, but this little kitten won't eat enough of these items to satisfy it and the diarreah continues. Then we added wormer to the mix and the diarreah continues. Any suggestions please. He suffers

I appreciate the answers from all of you but I have never given him milk and the prescription food was Hill's id. Tried the 12 hour fast. Raw meat didn't work, cheese didn't work, I keep hoping but the kitten is getting weaker. The diarreah almost liquid now. Thank you for all of the suggestions just the same, anything is better than wild guessing.

Answer 1

1. Milk gives them diarrhea.
2. Feed it Hill's "feline i/d" canned food, or Intestinal of royal Canin or Eucanuba.
3. If you can find Canikur, you can add a little bit of that in the food.
4. Flagyl is an antibiotic often given in severe cases of diarrhea to kittens, but you need to ask your vet about it, because you must not overdose it or buy the wrong medication, because I don't know if it has the same name there. You must use the syrup, which is for babies, and only give about 0,2 ml. DON'T DO THIS UNLESS INSTRUCTED BY YOUR VET, YOU COULD JUST ASK HIM ABOUT IT.
5. Don't starve the kitten, i know it is hard, but it will pass eventually. Give him food, so that at least he is not hungry. Hill's i/d works well with diarrhea.

Answer 2

AWw Im sorry to hear about your kitten, maybe you should try force feeding him the kitten milk with a small bottle, but dont give him too much. I would say just try to make him drink the kitten milk and make sure it is a little bit warm, but not too hot, and see how that works because I have had a lot of cats and when one of mine got dirreah I just do that and it always works, even for older cats.
Good Luck!

Answer 3

Try not feeding the kitten anything for 12-24 hours to give its bowels a chance to calm down. Give it some Pedialyte mixed with water to keep it hydrated. Then put it on a soft bland diet until its stools have firmed up a bit.

Answer 4

If he is going to be locked interior the bathing room, there's no longer something you're able to do approximately it. 5 weeks is plenty to youthful to be removed from his mommy. 8 is in lots of situations minimum age, with 12 being the appropriate age. He needs to be around human beings. Its like locking a three or 4 year previous interior the bathing room all on my own.

Answer 5

Milk gives them diarrhea, and cheese makes them constipated. Give the kitten some cheese and it should stop the diarrhea.
