my 3 month old kitten is sick


Question Posted Saturday July 21 2007, 8:29 pm

About three months ago my boyfriend found this very sick kitten who has only one eye and is going blind in the other. we fed and gave him water. gave him a bath and took him to the vet. the veterian wanted to put the poor kitten to sleep but i wouldn't let him. so he gave us medication.. he gave us eye drops to stop the infection in his eyes and aintiboics for him which he fishined it. his eye drops are allmost gone. three months later which is now he's sick again. he's eating but not drinking water so i took a turkey baster and gave him water. i haven't seen him go to the bathroom. so i dont know if he's got worms. he has a runing nose and when you pick him up he has a tantrum and makes a loud meowing noise. please help me.. i have no money for the vet?

Do you know any friends who may be able to pay for the vet bill? I'm sorry to say but it may be best to put him down if that is what the vet has suggested. If you don't want to however it's very important that he sees a vet. From my experiences sometimes when an animal goes blind they can't live a good life and are miserable. I'd give him a year of hard work trying to make him better but if he is unhappy and ill I would follow the vets suggestion and put him down.

That is so sad. I don't recommend putting him to sleep though if you really don't know for sure what is wrong. Try taking him to a Humane Society. You will have to give him up though most likely if you want to get him treated, but make sure you ask just in case. Most Humane Socities don't do that though. Sorry :( Once you give him up (if you have too) they will examine him and figure out what the problem is. If it is treatable they will give him treatment; but if they can't do anything or if it is just too much to do and not the best option for the kitten they will put him down. I am not sure if he will have a greater chance of being put down because of his vision but I know for a fact that being a kitten is good on his part because kittens are adopted out faster and are in higher demand so therefore they might try harder to save him. I am sorry about your situation but I really hope everything works out.

this happened to my dog who passed away about 4 mouths ago-you need to have the kitten put to sleep i know its not the thing you want to hear but its the best thing to do-if the cat is not using the restroom it has kidney failure-after a few days the cat's blatter will literly explode and the cat will get very very sick and will die suffuring-do it as soon as possible trust me i've been through it twice-you will feel a whole lot better knowing that you put the cat out of its misery-ps dont try to feed it anything cause if you stuff it with anything the bladder will over fill and the process of the catS illness wil spead up DONT FORCE IT TO DRINK OR EAT ANYMORE PLEASE!!!!!you'll be okay do the right thing please

oh my god poor thing. this kitten is not going to get better. A couple of years ago, my mother found a baby possum on the street that had been attacked.It was shaking there, but wouldnt move, so she took it in, we fed it, took care of it, cared for its wounds.we thouht it was gettin better because it would play with us, but it died 4 days later.I seriously suggest the kiten be put to sleep. It dosnt hurt at all.Its a type of sleep aid, that gently lowers pulse, and relaxes the muscles, and it feels very relieving for the ones who are suffering.It just feels like their falling asleep.This poor kitten is suffering a disease, infection, and prob. parasites or worms.And it makes a commotion while gettin picked up, it prabably has a bowel/bladder problem, or swollen intestines, possibly internal bleeding or damaged organs.UNless you can get it proffessional help...which could be done, but cost alot of money...or one suggestion that i was thinking...call....um, have you seen that show on animal planet, "animal police"something like that. They'll take it in for free and probably save its life.You could try that, but your probably goin to have to put it to sleep
