We adopted our 8 week old kitten off the Shelter 6 days ago.
We were told that she had gotten her pills and everything.
Well, we got her home, she had a teary eye which I treated with eye drops and also gave her some worm syrup (Vermox).
I feed her with either Friskies Kitten Food (can) or Whiskas 1-12 months kitten munchies (the dried up thing).
A few hours ago, I noticed she started having severe diarrhoia (sp?) and vomiting. A yellowish hue and it smelled bad.
I immediately took her to the vet withing 2 hours of the symptoms and he gave me a syrup telling me she has enteritis (the night before she had eatten a lot).
I gave her the medication but she vomitted it all out after 10 minutes.
I called the vet and he said try again until it stays in. So I gave her more and 1 hour later she had diarrhoia agai with the same color as the medication but not much in quantity.
She is playful and except that her behavior is normal and for 3 hours now she has not vomitted or anything.
I am worried.
Can it be Tyfus?? If it is, is it contagious to humans? She is sleeping with us in the bed and I am worried.
Please let me know on what else it might be...
Thank you,
Tina
