My sister found a mommy cat and helped her raise some kittens; she took care of them for about six weeks. My wife saw one and fell in love so I surprised her with it one day, it was doing fine. Very playful and VERY hyper! But one morning out of nowhere it couldn’t even walk or plan with its fav toy (a plastic bag). My first thought was maybe worms or poison. Well about 2 days later we checked its litter box and found a roundworm (maybe 3”-3.5” long) so right away I went to a local wal mart and got some worm treatment (Piperazine Adipate) so we mixed one capsule in the cat’s food, no luck that night. So we repeated the process the next day as instructed by the directions, still nothing. So I went to 1800petmeds.com and ordered a different kind of treatment (Homeo Pet Worm Clear) it hasn’t got here yet but my worries are… first off after I gave it the first worm treatment I later read on yahoo pets that it has no result in kittens with roundworms. Our cat is now at the point to where it will bath its self but its fur is not as healthy looking as it was.It doesnt eat half as much. It has almost no vale movement at all when it urinates it only can let out a tiny little bit, as for number 2… maybe once per day and almost none then! It’s acting very drained and weak. We took it to the vet today and he wouldn’t even touch it! Because he said we have to wait 10 days after we treated it with the treatment before he will give it any more help of any kind, so I asked him how can we at least make it have a vale movement and he said to buy some mineral oil and give it 2 tablespoons per day. But everywhere I read says not to do that. Please help, out kitty won’t make it 10 days if he can’t go to the bathroom! What should I do? Keep giving it mineral oil; wait for the pet meds product to come in,??? Our kitten is my wife’s life, she thinks of it has her kid and it breaks her heart as well as mine
please respond.Casey
PS: the cat is about 10-11 weeks old (give or take) and the only Strongid-T i can find is for horses! if this is what i need can someone please give me a good site to buy this?
