Title: Zoonie has diarrhea
Post by: hollycat on September 19, 2014, 21:21:49 PM
Any advice on how to treat him. Its weekend and vets ate closed. He is still charging round like an idiot.
I have not given either cat any different food. Still Felix AGAIL and James Wellbeloved kitten and adult turkey. No problems until today.

Does Zoonie go outdoors?? Lilli has the same issue when she eats grass.........  When any of mine get the runs, I give them tuna and cooked chicken til it clears up, usually works.....

No they don't go outside.  I am not that worried yet as he is  big for  his age. 8 months.
I shall give them chicken tomorrow. Thank you

Took Zoonie to emergency  vet @ PDSA this morning as was very poorly during the night. Given painkillers,  antibiotics and somthing to settle his tum. He wasn't impressed having needles stuck in him. Also took blood get results on Monday.
Have tablets to give him as well.Can't feed him for 24 hours (easier said than done) Poor Zoonie he has gone off sulking.
Vet was very thorough and very nice. Thank heavens for PDSA don't know what I would have done.

Zoonie better now  ;D
Still has a days supply of pills to finish but he is so easy to medicate, he thinks they are treats and takes them out of my hand.

Thanks for held and wishes  ;D

Glad he is better, half the battle is the meds, less stress for all if they take them easily!
