Wendy,

You should be able to use Neosporin or A&D ointment (for diaper rash - it's
safe, just petroleum jelly (vaselin) with vitamins A&D added).

Did the vet check for worms? That could be what is causing the runs -
typical worms are round or hook. However they may have coccidia which is
sometimes very hard to identify. If they are old enough start worming them
for round and hook worms. If the diarrhea continues take another sample to
the vets and have them specifically check for coccidia.

They all went to see the vet today.

Tiffany, the problem child, stopped taking the bottle on Wednesday so I
had
to go back to fighting KMR into her with the syringe. Thursday she got the
runs and that's when I called the vet. They gave me some Colostrum and
Probiotic last night and made an appt. to take all four in to get checked
this morning. Last night I ended up giving her some Karo and water to keep
her hydrated, keep the blood sugar up and give her gut a break from not
doing well with the formula.

She must have known she was going to the vet because this morning she
actually took the bottle again. She still has the runs but has been eating
better today until the last feeding when she went on strike again.

One of the boys got the runs this afternoon but at least he's still eating
well.

Poor Tiffany's bum is so red and sore. She screams when I clean her up.
Any
suggestions about what might be safe to put on her poor sore butt? I was
thinking maybe some preparation H or nupercanal ointment but didn't know
if
that would be ok to use on a 2 1/2 wk old kitten.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Wendy
