Please Help, my cat is very sick!

Post by Guest »

My oldest cat just had babies and now she is having really weird symptons. When she uses the bathroom, her boop is all watery and sometimes when she walks she drips boop. She is also losing her fur and becoming very skinny. I am very concerned about my cat and I do not know what to do. I live in a small town and there isn't a vet in town. I really need some help and advice!

there is not a heck of a lot of home treatment that you can do in this case, how old are the kittens and if under 5 days this may be from the mother eating the placnetas....you can try givine kaopectate, ie about 1 teaspoon every two hours, you could even use it as an enema but i suspect that is out of the picture...try feeding her anything from vienna sauseges (sp), chicken, fish, anything at all that you think she might eat...you couls also call the small animal clinic of the nearest veterinary school and even though it is long distance they might have some suggestions for you.....goood luvck

Please see this link concerning Kaopectate as the formulation has changed and has made this toxic to cats.

I don't have any good advise for you...except please find a way to get your kitty to the vet...the sooner the better...
