Question

My kitten is really sick. She has diarrhea and she throws up about every 5 minutes. she stopped eating and drinking and now she tries to throw up but just ends up almost choking herself. she is really weak now and i think she might die. I CANNOT TAKE HER TO THE VET. its 4 30 AM vets are CLOSED. There is only 1 emergency animal hospital, but it is really far and for clients only so i cant take her there. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP. what should i do, how can i take care of her, at least until morning so i can take her to the vet, when my vet opens at 9AM

Answer 1

take her to the emergency vet they cannot refuse her its against the law !!

Answer 2

First take a deep breath and breath in and out slowly. You can panic after your kitten is at the vets. I would call the ER vet and say you have to have your baby seen NOW: I doubt they can refuse. Call your own vets office and see if someone is covering or if he gives an emergency number. If not call his home.
Do you have an eye dropper or any syringe from a shot kind of syringe? Take the needle off and put the syringe in the side of her mouth and dribble in a few drops of water every few minutes. Going slowly maybe will keep her from throwing up. She is dehydrating very fast and can go into Kidney failure fast. If no vet will see you go to your vets and be sitting in the parking lot next to the door and run!! She needs something to stop the vomiting and she will need to be hydrated with an IV.
Other suggestions of finding out what she has is important.
FIV is not a death sentence immediately many people treat their cats for years so don't panic about that. If you need on line support email me. I will help you find some.
I learned most of what I know from having a diabetic cat and being on the felinediabetes.com board daily.

Answer 3

You should be able to take your kitten to the vet even if it is only for clients. After all, you would be a client. It appears that you kitty is suffering from FIV (feline immunodeficiency syndrome) If this is the case, then there is no treatment. I can only be controlled by a vaccination prior to infection.

If you absolutely cannot take the kitten to a vet right now, then confort her and try to get her to drink. If she will not and at worst she seems to be dying, perform CPR on her. Put your mouth on her open mouth and nose and breath for her and tap gently on her stomach 5 times between giving her air. Continue this until you are exhausted. Lift her gently during this and move her around. Talk to her and keep on giving CPR to her at the same time.

Call 911 and explain the situation so that they may direct you to a vet who will wake the hell up and help you.

Any Vet who would not accommodate you because you are not a "Client" should be ashamed and I would file a civil suite against them for not helping you.

Please write to me and let me know what happens.

Answer 4

Panicking is the worst thing you can do right now, your cat can sense it.
If you can't take her to a vet right now, you at least need to make her comfortable. If she is an indoor/outdoor cat, is there grass or anything in her vomit? These types of things induce vomiting.
First of all, let her relax. Throw a blanket or towel under her, one you don't mind her throwing up on, and wrap her in something. DON'T LET HER EAT, this will just make her vomit more.
Check the pet food recall list to make sure what you are feeding her is not on the list. Get her to the vet office as soon as it opens, wait outside for a vet to get there. Also, call the vet offices you go to because sometimes they leave emergency numbers on their answering machines.
Best of luck, and just be there for her and make her comfortable until you can get her to a vet.

Answer 5

This might sound very hard, but all you can do at this stage is comfort her. kittens have often an undetected virus that at outbreak will be fatal. try to give him lots of water and show him your there for him. I'm really sorry cos i know what you are going through right now. and WHO know, with any luck he might survive. but in case he doesn't please make sure you know what he had, as some thing can be so highly infectious, that if you should get a new one the virus will spread to her. you will need to disinfect everything the kitten has ever come in contact with. i wish the kitten lots of strenghts to go through this.

Answer 6

If your cat has persistent diarrhea, take the cat to the vet if symptoms have continued for more than 2 days. Bring a stool sample with you and have the vet check for parasites and/or fever.
You can try changing (temporarily) the cat's diet to one or more of the following (depending on the cat's preferences):
boiled rice
cottage cheese
bread
plain yogurt
boiled chicken
chicken broth
baby food (strained meat varieties)

Answer 7

I even have (and characteristic had) many cats, and enable me say that i'm no stranger to them having this disease! actually, that's fairly merely allergic reactions. Rubbing their eyes gently with a somewhat heat damp rag to get rid of all that **** could artwork. different than that, they're purely a touch sneezy and that's not something to be anxious approximately. in the experience that your mom is in a position to offer them away, you're able to hearken to to her. likely, the kittens will pass to a loving relatives who's been waiting for some kittens for it sluggish! do not think of that maximum folk do not take care of their kitties. merely undergo in strategies, in the event that they choose for them, they love them. good luck!
