kitty doing better
thanks everyone for your help with my Shaina!
she is doing much better now and is all lively and responsive. her gums are still pale though. still, i wonder why she doesn't care for play. she chases a string for a little while, or bats it around, but then she looks up at the hand and loses interest. she is quite vocal about getting fed and demands being walked to the kitchen to make sure that food is there. it's so very practical on her part: why make two trips in case there's no food, when she can always get a human to go with her to make sure that food is there. her tummy is kinda big, but she has regular bowl movement, so i hope it's normal for a kitten. she grew in the 2 weeks i had her! is there a chance of her developing feline infectious peritonitis and could the large tummy be related to that?

there is always a chance a kitten can develop FIP. However, if she did,
she'd have a fever, and would not be interested in eating. You said her stomach is big, has she been dewormed. I tried to go through the back posts, and didn't see anything to that effect. I would recommend getting a stool sample into a vet to have it tested.

I would recommend getting a stool sample into a vet to have it tested. yeh, she was dewormed and dewormed again on the 10th. they took a stool sample and tested it for giardia, which came back negative. i don't think they tested her for anything else, but said that she could probably have coccidia and now she is taking medicine for that. i will take her for deworming in 3 weeks as they recommended. her stool looks normal now - it used to be soft and yellowish. she is very much interested in eating - eveything - or at least checking if any food is edible. -L |

It's normal (and healthy) for kittens to have those round tummies; don't worry. As far as the pale gums and disinterest in long play, she's still recovering blood cells from the anemia, so give her time. I wouldn't worry about FIP at this point. Laura thanks so much! i was worried. -L |
