I am looking for a remedy for 2 week old kittens with diarrhea.
Clouie from Philippines
Two week old kittens should still be nursing exclusively as they are not really old enough to be eating regular cat food. If they are eating anything other than their mother's milk, this should be stopped.
If they are only nursing, then maybe the problem is that the mother may be eating something that is affecting her milk, like cows milk, for example.
I adopted a 4 month old kitten from a rescue in August. She started to have diarrhea after eating soft caned food, so we bought her a better canned brand for her, but she still had it. She has had chronic diarrhea since and we've been trying different canned foods for her, but she still has it.
We had to keep checking her bottom after each time she used her litter cuz she had some poop on her fur near her butthole (sorry). This started about a week or so ago with checking her, and she is not a happy camper when we do this. This morning we found poop (diarrhea) in the tub. What can we do? She loves the canned food and we mix her hard food in. Should we stop the canned all together?
Your little fur child needs to be seen by the vet! ASAP!
She could have parasites or food allergies or any number of things that only a vet can diagnose!
The rescue maybe able to give you a vet that will look at her for a reduced fee since she was newly adopted in August. It is also time to get her in to a vet so she has a health start with any vaccine etc (after the poopy issues stop of course!)
Please get her checked out ASAP!! Poor little thing could be getting dehydrated which is causing other issues.
PRAYERS FOR HER AND YOU!!! Please post back with a status update!!!
You dont want the cat to get dehydrated. Take her to the vet.
I think switching back to her dry food is a great idea. Coming through the foster system can be really stressful for kittens that age. Another product you can try is Purina Fortiflora.
