Question for my sister

[Shiloh & Rhonda (GA)]

She has a new kitten, a stray, 1.5 pounds, told she has coccidia. She is on her second round of Albon. My sister said that she doesn't even want to be touched, screamed bloody murder. Any ideas?

From my understanding Coccidia is an parasitic infection. Mostly just reading some articles. Does she have diarrhea? How is her hydration?

Sounds like this can be painful so may explain the screaming when touched. I do hope she feels better soon and it was caught early

Is she a feral? I have rescued several feral kittens that behaved that way when I first rescued them. I have found that the more they are handled they will begin to trust you. However, she should probably talk to the vet just to make sure there are no medical issues causing her pain.

Does she have diarrhea? How is her hydration?

Yong, she had her to the vet because she had diarrhea that was just dripping. They prescribed the second round of treatment. I will check with my sister and see how she is doing today.

Is she a feral?

Lisa, she was found outside, and a little wary at first, but she had been fine until just the last couple of days.

Hope it's a good update

She is using the litter box rather just seeping, so that is a good thing. As long as my sister doesn't get near her butt she isn't screaming.

Curious if there are any safe pain medications for kittens, doesn't hurt to ask the Vet, right?
