Badly bloated kitty

Post by Shadowfein »

Hi,

I am a little stumped on this one. My kitten;s (9 mths olf) tummy is very runny and she is very bloated with gas - she looks like a bag pipe. I have taken her to the vet:
- he first gave her an enteritis suspension to fix the diarhea
- when that didn't work she was put onto Synulox for 5 days
- he has now got her on a 10 day course of Flagyl (I am aboout day 4 into it) but it hasn't helped at all!

I changed her food about a month ago to try and help with the problem - she was on Royal Canin for kittens and she is now on Hills Science Diet for kittens - it has made no difference at all. My other kitten is absolutely fine.

Any thoughts? How long should it take for the Flagyl to work? Should I maybe give her yoghurt? Would that help?

Thanks
