*****I Need Urgent Help!!!***** Sick Kitten!

[joanofark]

Ok, I want to cry. Aslan is already sick! It sorta started this morning. He's puked 6 times since this morning and can't leave his litterbox for more than a couple minutes-- he has serious runs. He's been puking (And pooping) white stuff. Is it milk? We gave him easy digest milk that we gave Hobo when he was a kitten. Can that be doing this? I really need help, can anyone tell me what this might be? I'm really scared for him!! I got some pictures a couple days ago (When he was feeling ok), I'll try to upload them sometime soon. Had anyone ever experienced this? when it first started we thought it might be a hairball... but we don't know now. PLEASE help!! It's very urgent!

Poor Aslan!!

Hard to tell what it is, but I'd say he should see a vet as soon as possible!! I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's something that's easy to cure, but please let him see a vet! This is a serious condition for a kitten!

If you just started him on the cat milk recently, just before this started, I would say that is the problem.

Stop giving him the stuff, and call your vet to be on the safe side.

Try and keep him hydrated, have water for him!

I guess I'll ask mom if she can talk to the vets. I just gave him some water, and he has nothing to do with it. all he's doing right now is lying next to the litterbox sleeping......

I hope he's not already dehydrated. Hope you'll convince your mom to drive him to the vet asap!

Once Their dehydrated they don't want water?? :''''(

If he's refusing to drink water, even though he is seriously dehydrated by now, then he is very ill. A hairball would not cause this type of extreme reaction. If I found a kitten lying beside a litter box, exhausted from diarrhoea, I'd be in my car on the way to vet in less than a minute.

[joanofark]

He's gone to the litter box a couple more times but never peed. He's being so sweet right now though. ^_^ I'm resizing a ton of pictures right now I'm gonna post soon.

[Catty1]

Maybe just call the vet once more to report that Aslan is doing better - and how long should it be before he pees?

Just to check.

[Kirsten]

I'm very relieved to hear that Aslan is doing better! Sounds like he really had a bad problem with the milk.

Regarding the peeing: I noticed that when Luna has diarrhea, it usually takes a while until she's peeing again. Guess it takes a while until there's enough fluid in their system again.

Phew!!! What a scary time it was for you, but I am so happy to hear that Aslan is doing much better.

I hope by the time I have written this that you have made a nice pee biscuit for your worried meowmie.

[joanofark]

He's perfectly fine now!! He's peed a couple times, eats regularly and drinks regularly... No more milk for him though!!

Thanks SO much, everyone!
