Help! Ten week old kitten vommiting with diarrhoea

OK now I am confused :lol:

I can only assume he is having a GA tomorrow as he isn't allowed food after 9pm tonight or water after 7am tomorrow. Also it is costing about £50

If it can be done safely and pain free under a local I shall want to know why my vet isn't doing this :shock:

Hi If you are going to the vet then ask if they keep cimicat. In my experience it is the best milk on the market for kittens and convellesing adults. It is about £11 a tub and you make it up as you need it just like baby milk. Has all the right calcium and vitamins to go along side his food. Also cook some fish and just give that to him for 12 hours then reintroduce his normal diet slowly.
Good luck

hi em. ive just read on a vet website. GA for females and LA for males. may help alittle but dont worry im sure your vet will answer your questions. i know my vet just charged me £34 to neuter my boy and its £58 for females.

Thanks angelgirl

I'm pretty convinced Dex is having a GA but will certainly ask beforehand

I talked to my vet about anaesthetic, he did say some vets do a castration under LA but he personally preferred a GA as it is still an operation (although simple) and Dex won't know or feel a thing

Also GA's are much better than they used to be and carry very little risk. I'm happy either way but it was nice to discuss it with him too

Its good that you have discussed it with your vet Em

, how do they keep the cat still giving a local i wonder
I think i would prefer mine to have a GA

I guess they heavily sedate the cat Veejay

Having given it some thought I think I am glad Dex is having a GA, at least if anything goes wrong he is already hooked up to all the right machines and won't know a thing

I hope your daughters kitten is feeling better today Sheila

Phew, Dexter is home and seems fine, although he looks quite sore

I can feel where they put the microchip, there is a bump or little scab or something, is this normal :?:
