Kitten Injured by Vet? HELP

[Zitch]

What was the instrument, was it metal or was it a long q-tip type? Did he even get a sample and test it? Did he proceed to deworm her and treat for URI?

Mona is right, get your kitten to an ER vet immediately on the offchance that damage to the colon was done. Unlikely, but don't take that risk. If deworming was done, the distended abdomen could be from the deworming meds, especially if she was sensitive to it. Don't wait to find out.

Tracy, I just posted to Mona. Don't want to write the whole thing over, so please take a look.

Your vet may feel the need to extend the Albon, but only after another fecal results in negative for coccidia. If he didn't instruct you on the Albon and the dosing each day, call him immediately and get that verified. To my knowledge, Albon doesn't cause increased thirst, my guess is that she is severely dehydrated.

The extension of the abdomen is probably from excess gas in the intestines as a result of the diarrhea/soft stools. Or from the food you're feeding. If you're feeding canned, switch to dry or at least talk to your vet about a bland gastrointestinal diet to be used temporarily.

How old is your kitten anyway?

Traci, I got the dosage amount cleared up. When the Albon is gone, I'll take a stool sample to the vet. Also found out that she needs another round of treatment three weeks after the initial treatment as cysts hatch out in three weeks. To be assured its completely eradicated, TWO treatments are necessary. Stools are becoming a little bit more solid and she is playing how daily, so must be feeling better. She is very young--probably no more than eight weeks old. I am feeding her Friskies dry kitten chow. Her water consumptions has slowed somewhat. Thanks again for helping me. I'll keep ya'll posted.
