Recovering from worms

Cnamommy · 06-11-2011, 03:18 PM

My cat started dragging her behind 2 days ago only once though . So I made a appointment with the vet. But as some of you know she barley eats and drinks so I called them this morning to see what I could do. They told me to come and get her some medicine From them and I did this morning. Well I saw it's been about 4 hours since then. She told me to feed her egg whites and gatorade. And I have she has been acting 75% better she hated the Gatorade and wouldnt drink. But he will drink water now and she has taken quite a few bites of food. But I want to give her something that will entice her even more! What would help an something cheap I just started a new job so ya I'm transitioning. And also her poop is more liquidy is that normal when should I worry. Her nose is wet also. Thanks!

did the vet have you take feces in for a fecal exam so they could treat accordingly?
Gatorade? Really!!!!
I've heard of plain pedialyte but never gatorade

Egg whites are such an odd choice, even my kittens who would eat everything I put in front of them don't like egg whites (neither cooked nor raw, though feeding raw egg whites to cats should be avoided anyway.) You need to find out what food she finds appetizing, it could be some brand of canned cat food, or tuna, or minced beef (cooked or raw), maybe chicken (again, cooked or raw). Sometimes they will drag their butt over the floor not because of the worms, but because they are trying to clean it. But since she's a stray kitten if I remember correctly, she probably needed the worming anyway.

could also be anal gland problems....

Well the 14th I got her a appointment for blood draw,shots,fecal exam and anything else I can possibly think of to keep her alive. The egg whites or meds did something because she is tearing up food

Hope all goes well at the vet, worms can be serious. Another reason to keep cats as indoor pets.

I am sorry I didn't know

to encourage her to eat you can try chicken baby food (make sure onions aren't listed in the ingredients)
