Update to malnourished kittens ... HELP NEEDED!
Poor babies. I would be tempted change vets, someone who has lots of experience with rescue kittens. Clavimox is harsh stuff for small kittens; your idea to reintroduce lactobacillus is good (you can get the stuff at any health food store). Some other things you could try from your vet are albon, which sometimes helps heal the gut (and will knock out coccidia while it is at it -- coccidia can be hard to detect and often flares up after worming). Also low-residue food (wet and dry, if the kittens are old enough for kibbles). Also ask your vet about rehydrating the kittens as needed. Diarrhea brings on dehydration very quickly, and dehydration kills quickly. Good luck. Let us know how it goes. Sharon Talbert Friends of Campus Cats Seattle |
