Need help with nursing one year old with Diarrhea for the past week

Question

I have a one year old that had 6 very healthy kittens 6 weeks ago but she has had Diarrhea for the past week. She is always hungry but I'm afraid to feed her too much. Any ideas???

Answer 1

feed her as much as she will eat or you will kill her. nursing moms need a lot of extra calories! take her and the kittens in to the vet to be checked, they can tell you if it is just a minor upset or something that can be passed on to the kits. please please please get your cat spayed as soon as she weans the kits!! I can't beg enough!! have 13 altered rescued cats and this year- 16 foster kittens this spring and 4 more showed up today.
