We have accidentally a 5 weeks old kitten

[user1477462353]

We live in the countryside and we were walking when we found the tiny one. I took her to the vet straightaway to get her checked. She has nasty diahorea but is quite bright otherwise. They gave me a deworming, a probiotic thingy...I try to give her kitty milk but she is not keen. She drinks water and some specialised food that I bought from the vet. I'm planning on offering food every 3 hours : milk-food-water...she is asleep on heating pad on low. What else can I do !? I'm really worried she is not drinking the milk :(

*Dragonites - that kitten is GORGEOUS - I love a tortie (my favourite!)

Now I'm worried sick about little Bella. I do hope she is okay.

She has similar markings to our cat - white milk stain on one side of her face. Everything crossed for Bella.

Nothing has changed since this afternoon's update, the vet said she was definitely brighter, let's hope she carrys on improving.

Good luck. Sounds promising.

Glad the updates are so positive. She's clearly one determine little puss. Go Bella! 🙏😺

So sorry to hear little Bella is poorly at the vets. Keeping all fingers and toes crossed for a speedy recovery.

Has the vet said anything about her coming home?

Cozie - I have signed her up for a 3 days hospitalisation (it's costing a bomb)...I'm too scared imagining her coming back home yet ! I hope the poo test is not gong to come up with something too bad !

Well it's a good place for her so fingers crossed. Are you due to phone in the morning?

We call first thing in the morning unless they call us during the night.

She's just gorgeous! I hope she continues to improve.

Fingers and paws crossed she keeps improving!

So pleased to have got to the end and hear she is currently doing well, my heart sank when you said she was really unwell.
Fingers crossed that she continues to improve!

Update - I didn't speak to the vet but the receptionist told me she was quite bright, eating but with syringe but still a bit of diarrhoea. So getting better slowly I guess. The vet will call later. It sounds goodish ?

Sounds mucho good! Bella, our little fighter she knows she has a family that loves her now so she will fight harder!!! She will be fine, I feel it

The results from the poo sample came back and she tested positive for giardia, it's the best outcome considering I expected much worst. The vet started the treatment yesterday, it's a 7 days courses. He said she was going to be alright !

Well that's a relief. Can you bring her home now?.

I started reading your update and was almost too scared to carry on reading but I'm so glad it looks like she's going to be alright!

She looks so adorable and she's found a place in your home and hearts.

Brilliant news!! I'm so pleased it's something that's easily fixed.

Hurray!

Never heard of it, but massive PHEW for Bella, yes, can she come home? and pose for pics

Tomorrow evening I think !

Achhh. Well at least they've tracked it down and can treat it. Giardia isn't a nice thing at all.

Great news.
