kittens with diohrea

[tez2384]

I would say it was round worm

Im now going to look  bet it makes me feel  thanks though.

My vet doesnt think they have worms now as no hard tums etc,
Hopefully they get better soon, Vet also said its change of diet most probs coz i only had them 2 weeks and i changed what they were eating i done it slowly but could of still caused probs

It was very long and thin expalined to the vet and he said it sounds like a tapeworm,

They been to the vets today he said there very healthy and he believs it is kittys food that is making them poorly so he told me to feed all 3 of them little and often for now that way kitty will clean her bowl straight away and just leave biscuit down all day. He said its probably because they eat to quickly + kittys food id to big for them.

Gave them some anti sick tablets (you should see me trying to give them to them  ) and if there is no improvement within 3 days they got to go back again

If it was sicked up then its more likely roundworm. Iv only ever seen sicked up tapeworm once. 
How many days after drontal did the worm in question arrive? With a heavy worm burden they need a strict routine to shift everything. The worms can also survive in muscle tissue and migrate when they feel like it, hence the importance of routine life long worming.

If they are throwing up tape worms I would call the vet today.

Yuk and yes call vets and remember tell em that too

Thanks for that advise i will defo call the vets tommorrow as they may still be infested, I meant to say 3 days ago one of them sicked up a huge tapeworm  it wasnt moving at all so guess it was dead

I took some kittens to the vet last Wednesday and they were wormed. One of them still had slight diorreah on Tuesday and the vet decided to give her another dose. So all in all, she had 3 doses in 4 weeks on the vets recommendation.

dont think they need worming again yet as they had hafl a drontal each not very long ago thanks for the advice though mark

kitten food gives kitty serious diohrea i found this out when i got her as she was under a year old i thought it was best for her but she became ill took her to the vets and they said thats what it was so i cant do that but good thinking  ,
So ill try mashing kittys food and hopefully they can keep that down then, They seem absoloutly fine other than this will give the vets a call though dont want ne porly babies

[Mark]

Maybe they need worming again - not sure but could be?

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

I never had a kitten so dont know when they change to adult food but why dont you try mashing it, or just putting the kittens food down and let Kitty help herself to that for a while.

[tez2384]

ill give the vets a ring in the morning and see what they say,
I really do think its kittys food though because obviously the pieces are alot bigger than what they have plus there not used to it will still ring the vets tommorrow and see what they say

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

I think you need to take vet advice

[tez2384]

My 2 kittens are 13 weeks old now and they both have diorhea and have been sick a couple of times other than this they seem absoulutly fine in them selves and r still playing, eating and drinking normally.

I think it is because they are eating kittys food which is adult food and i dont mash it up like i do theres as obviously its for kitty not them, Ive tried to stop them from eating it but they just both eat out of her bowl whilst she is eating it, I have tried feeding them in a different room to kitty but then they just wouldnt eat anyting at all also tried feeding kitty in a different room aswell but same problem she wouldnt eat.

Do you think its her food that is doing it to them? They were fine untill they kept steeling her food
