Hello, My Kitten Is About To Become 1 Year Old Now, She Has Had Several…

Hello, my kitten is about to become 1 year old now, she has had several health issues that stopped recently and last was a gastro anteritis ( kept vomiting and got dehydrated) that started just around the time I changed her food from Burns to Orijen kitten (about 2 weeks later). I have her on Burns again now as recommended by my vet until she’s 1yo and am considering changing for a grain free food however I am not sure which one to chose. I do consider trying Orijen again however the protein level in that food is much higher than the level she is on right now. My cat is an exotic shorthair neutered female. Here are my 3 choices for the new food:

Would you be able to give me some advise or personal opinion?

    Hello Zee, 

    I am sorry your kitten wasn’t feeling well.  I am not an expert on food so sorry I can’t help there.  Has your vet run all the basic diagnostics already: ran a fecal and blood sample to rule out a medical problem before changing the diet?  Maybe the root of the problem is not the food.  You could ask your vet about seeing a specialist too.  I hope your kitten feels better soon!

    Hi sorry your dog is having problems.

    This could be anything from Kennel Cough to heart problems. You do need to see your Vet….please inform them she is coughing when you make the appointment though as if its possibly Kennel Cough they may see her outside as its very contagious.

Last time he shook his head a lot, i took him to the vet and he had an ear infection. The difference this time is that he does not have any redness or black stuff in his ear. His ears look very clean and normal – no redness or anything abnormal looking.

    Hello,
    It sounds like your cat needs to be seen by your vet. Any changes in how she normal acts (ie, wanting more attention, swollen sides, eating more,etc…) .
    I hope that she is ok!

    thank you kelly — I’m hoping my vet can see her tomorrow morning

I cleaned with peroxide and applied neosporin. I think it’s because he some times bites and scratches his self. Also, flea and tick free.

    HI David,
    Try just soap/water instead of the hydrogen peroxide,,,that stuff actually will irritate and dry out. If he’s biting and scratching you need to figure out the cause. If he is indeed tick and flea free, it sounds like a trip to the vet to figure out the cause of the skin irritation as well as the issue with his nipples.

    Good luck!!

Is homeopet worm clear a good dewormer. The second feeding today had the reaction of him salivating more. He didn’t have the same reaction the third day. If homeo worm clear is not any good please tell me a good dewormer that’s safe and safe for young cats like Sebastian.

    I have not heard of that kind. Your kitten is very young still so I would go to your veterinarian to get the best product possible right away. I hope he is better real soon!

  2. Vicki Hamill

    NO ! Go to the vet and get some STRONGIT, they will give her a second dose 10-14 days later. I have done cat/kitten rescue for 35 Years…it is IMPERATIVE YOU GO TO THE VET, He will be fine, keep,any other cats away from the same litter.

    How much does it cost because we spent 100$ on meds for him and that was all we had
