My 3-month-old kitten has fever and diarrhea. What medicine is safe?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Simba. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian. His veterinarian will start by assessing a stool sample. Parasites and other infectious causes are very common in kittens. Treatment to make him feel better is based on these results as well as his physical exam findings. It is worrisome that he has not been very active. Kittens should be very playful. I hope this information helps!

Since your kitten has not eaten in three days, this is an emergency now. It is likely very dehydrated as well. Please take Muezza to an out of hours veterinary service NOW. If you do not know where you can find such a service, please ring your veterinary practice and there will be emergency information on the answering machine.

If Tikvichko truly has a fever (check by using a digital thermometer inserted about 1 centimeter in the rectum; cats are normally between 100 and 102 Fahrenheit) then he likely needs antibiotics to treat this problem. I'm not sure how it works in your country, but in the U.S. these are only obtainable with a prescription. Clavamox is typically a good choice for respiratory infections; your vet can prescribe it for you

Hi, apart from keeping him in a cooler area and making sure that he has plenty of water available, he should be checked over by your vet as he might need antibiotics if he has an infection. Hope Blackie gets better soon !

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Simba has a pretty severe upper respiratory infection. He needs antibiotics to help deal with this. I would suggest finding another veterinarian who will treat your kitten properly. I hope Simba is feeling better soon.

Kittens can be given flea treatment at 8 weeks of age. One important thing to do is make sure the spot on treatment is for kittens only. You can't give dog flea treatments to kittens because cats have a higher sensitivity to the active ingredients in flea medications. Vomiting and diarrhea are signs of a both a mild and moderate to severe reaction to flea treatment, and I would recommend taking Simba into your vet immediately for treatment. These symptoms can get worse and lead to death if not treated promptly.

Hello. Poor Kuttu does not look well at all. We are just so unable to make a diagnosis or recommend any medications without knowing how sick little Kuttu is. If there is any way you can have him examined by a veterinarian, then things can be sorted out quickly, a diagnosis made, or at least proper medications ( if needed ) can be started. Hopefully, this will make Kuttu well soon. Good luck & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
