Tina, is there another vet you can take your kitten to? If there is I urge you to get her checked. If not, keep an eye on her and if she has diarrhea again, go back.

Since you are in another country, it is hard to judge whether or not the kitten could have typhus. However, a vet will know if this is a risk in your area or not. Little kittens often have digestive problems, however, but diarrhea is serious because a kitten runs the risk of dehydration.

: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

:Ps. If you need to e-mail me some info my mail is lustalo@Hotmail.com
