My girlfriends family found it abandoned when it was youngIt finished bottle feeding about 4 weeks agoThey decided didn't want it because it had diarrheaIt literally falls out of him as he's walkingShe took it in to regulate its diet and see that it was only eating Purina kitten chowThe diarrhea seemed to clear up some, however he still had a few accidentsHer dogs tortured the poor thing so she sent him to stay with meI'm feeding him the exact same food and the diarrhea persistsIt's not constant eitherSometimes its during the day, then clears up at night and ViceversaI've taken him to the vet to get his first shots and de-wormedAt the time they saw nothing wrongI took him in again and got a pill that would purge his system of any worms remainingEven after a stool sample they were unsure of any issuesI'm not sure what else to do in order to help him outThis is the first time I've had a cat in my home and I'm not 100% on exactly how to take care of themAny information is appreciated.
Yes, there would be an upward velocityBut smallI'll calculate twice, with an initial velocity of zero and repeat using 1 m/s upwards(1 m/s would be fast for a crane.) Using the kinetic formula Vf^2 Vi^2 + 2ay where Vi 0 the first time and -1 m/s the second, a g 9.8 m/s^2, and y 22 m(I set up the coordinate system so the positive y direction is downVi 0: Vf^2 29.8 m/s^222 m 431.2 m^2/s^2 Vf 20.76 m/s Vi -1 m/s Vf^2 (-1 m/s)^2 + 29.8 m/s^222 m 432.2 Vf 20.79 m/s
So what is gravity? -9.8 meters per second squaredThat is accelerationNow solve it knucklehead
Follow up with the vetThey should have more suggestionsOne thing that shows up only sporadically on fecal samples is giardiaIn cases like these where the cat's been dewormed and been on a consistent diet and the diarrhea persists, it's a good idea to treat for just in caseIt would be another pill or liquid you would use daily for a week or twoIt is not uncommon in strays or shelter cats or kittens that come from a catteryIn the meantime you can try adding either fiber or probiotics to the kitten's dietCanned pumpkin or some oat bran added to a little canned food could be helpfulProbioticsyou can buy them specially for pets from the pet storeYou can also use a little plain yogurt dailyKitten care in generalleave the kitten chow out all the time and offer canned food once or twice a dayThe canned food has more meaty protein, more moisture, less carbs so it's healthier stuffTake a careful look around your home and try to figure out what a young curious thing might get intoPlug up electrical outletsMake sure yarn or strings or ribbons or rubberbands are secured in drawersThey can cause big problems if the kitten ate themClose the lid on the toilet seatMake sure any houseplants are non-toxicThings like thatlike if you had a toddler around :) Kitten should be spayed by the time she's 4-5 months oldAfter that things start happeningCats in heat are not fun and they will often try to sneak out of the house, and come back pregnantAlso more prone to spraying and things like thatPlus you will be preventing some types of cancer and you will never have to worry about the rare case of a uterine infectionThey need a course of vaccines in the beginninga multi vaccine starting around 8 weeks and the rabies vaccine they will wait longerAfter you finish those up, it's generally a good idea to take the cat to the vet once a year just for an overall examShould only need a booster on the vaccines every 3 yearsGood luck!
