I have a 9 week old kitten, When I got her a week ago, she was covered in fleas and full of worms. She also had an eye infection. She was the runt of the litter (weighing on 345 grams) but being an experienced owner, I could not leave her at the hell hole she was in. Took her for vet check last saturday, has been treated for fleas, worms and eyes. She did have runny poo initially, but over the last week that has turned into properly formed stools. All was going well until Friday. I noticed that her anus was looking a bit sore and that she was dragging her rear end across the carpet, as the day went on, her rear started to bulge and poo was oozing out. She was still eating fine.
Took her to the vets on Saturday, as she was going to litter tray and not passing anything, but was straining and her rear end was bigger, Vet was quite negative and said that it was probably a genetic condition where the bowel had not formed properly (it was all working ok up until friday) and gave her some antibiotics.
I am really trying to give her a fighting chance and am doing what the vet recommended, antibiotics and small amount of oil in her food.
Today the poop has started to move, but she is off her food (she only weighs 370 grams) and she cant afford not to eat.
Has any one else encountered this, is there anything else I can do to help her ??
