Okay, here i come again...
For those who dont know:
I got my kitten 3 weeks ago (12 Months old) from a breeder.
After 1week tilda started puking (+ diharea) for 2 days, when she stopped drinking i had to go to a pet-ambulance since it was sunday. They wanted to take an xray, gave her an infusion and sonething against stomacheache and being sick.
I refused to the xray, since she was still pooping.
On monday it didnt get better and she was loosing weight rapidly. But kept drinking enough. So i went to my favoured vet. He told me the ambulance gave strange stuff. He gave her too something against the sickness and ache. We also tested the poo against giardia, it was negative.
One day later i went again since she didnt get better, looking like a skeleton.
He made an xray to be completely sure, that she didnt eat something anorganic. And started to give her antibiotics, something against sickness and puking, plus a pill to regulate the stomach acids.
She immediately started to feel better.she stopped puking and ate again. We continued the antibiotics for 2 times ( she got them every two days)
Tilda started to behave like a normal kitten again, gaining back weight, playing with oskar and bringing me joy again.
After 4 days the same started again, but this time we were fast enough to break the "puking - no eating" circle. She puked for a half day but ate and drank and played normally. The new antibiotics are in pill form and have to make sure she gets it every morning and evening. (he cannot give her anything stronger since shes still a baby and anything else would harm the growth)
So far so good, it hit her pretty bad yesterday night.
She took the new antibiotics for 2,5 days without puking. 5 days to go. But now that the whole dilemma is starting again i feel insecure. I dont know what to do.
my aunt knows a good vet too and she gave him the list of the medicine she received, so i get a second opinion.
i also dont want to change the vet, since mine is well known and recommended with a pretty good reputation.
so today she is not eating and feeling bad :-(
but she drinks and comes to be petted and cuddled. she didnt puke for 4hour and the force feeded antibiotic pill stayed inside.
I also will not ask the breeder for advice again... I still have to pay half a cat (;-P) and asked her for help and advice for the last weeks... but she thinks my vet is a total moron and i did everything wrong... she said i had stuff on the ground and plants she ate.
at first she wanted her back to cure her herself. and now that i still have to pay something i asked for more time to pay the rest, since i already spend so much on the vet. (about 350$ all in all.... the ambulance was pretty bad...)
she told me she wanted the cat back, and i get the money i paid.
well... NO never... i will pay the rest and dont want to hear about her agian...
i know that shes afraid of the reputation to loose and it was a kind act to let me pay just 1,5 cats now and the rest later. but this is so hurting me... i do all i can to give them a wonderful life. i nearly risked my working place to arrange all the vet visits.
the other thing i didnt know before was, that the babies are from the ukrain and i had contact with the daughter of the breeder... i now know, that the real breeder and the kitty-mum are in ukrain and the kitten were seperated quite early. like after 8 weeks. the woman i got them from lives in berlin with the two male cats, gets the kitten from ukrain and she takes them to berlin to sell them for a better price.
The babies were in good shape and the housing conditions were supergood, i also saw picture of the kitties when they were babies (so same condition in the ukrain). everything clean and nice, so nothing to say about that. they also came chipped, with anti-worm stuff, and every vaccines needed.
but still it makes me wonder that this might be the reason tildas stomach is acting up.
I dont know what to make of this all...
i keep getting from yay to nay.
any advices or similar cases?
long story.... and i just have them for 3 weeks now ;-(
