I am kitten-sitting two kittens this weekend for a friend. The kittens ate
well for the first two days, but yesterday they turned their nose up at
food. Today neither kitten is eating and they are both throwing up water.
Yesterday one of the kittens had diarrhea. Neither has done #2 today.
Both
Watch them for Panleuk symptoms: depression, hanging head (most of the
time, not just over the food/water bowl), loose/watery stools, vomitting,
low energy.
If they are throwing up just bile, then they are just hungry. Can you
syringe some baby food into them to get them started eating again?
Are they eating the food they usually eat or did they have a change of food
when they came to your house?

Thanks Kathryn Christiane.
Both kittens just had diarrhea, no blood in the stool no blood in the
vomit.
She is feeding them wet food, Friskies/wet and Meow Mix/wet. I have tried
to get the kittens to eat Before Grain wet food, but they will not eat it.
The kittens will lap up a little water,
I also worry about cedar, it's toxic to small animals livers.

I think it's generally agreed upon that kittens should get wet food, not
dry. Did you try feeding the wet food you'd been giving them before they
shut down?
I'm an evangelist against all dry, no matter how ``healthy,'' as cats are
desert animals and don't have good thirst mechanisms to make
Diarrhea control gel by van beek clears it right up if its bacterial. I had a
lot of cats years ago that had been dumped on me and I could not catch them to
vaccinate. Pretty soon they all started dying, and it was panleuk. I had a
bottle of excenel that I had used on my Pygmy goat for

Wonder how it worked on the virus, or does it work on viruses, too? Last
I talked to the vets that treated my kittens (most died), they wouldn't use
``controversial'' Tamiflu. My friend's vet saved her litter that way.

Anytime you change food, you should mix the old the new for a few days as
they often get diarrhea.

Yes...that is what a vet told me and I was shocked! But actually about 20 ago I
had a kitten that had it and iused amoxicillin and he finally came out of it. I
also used raw blood from calf liver mixed with canned food and syringes it. He
ended up being very unbalanced from it because it
It didn't work on the virus per say, but the fast growing bacteria in their
gut. I'm wondering if it could be a water change that is making them sick?

Were they dewormed? Shots are one thing but deworming is important even if the
test for worms is negative. Most kittens from street moms or who have been
abandoned have worms. Deworming is done prophylactically by most rescue
organizations.
