Ever since bringing home my kitten, zac, from the local shelter he was ill and ended up getting my 2 other cats, mark and sis, sick. After running out of money, taking them to the first vet with 20 bottles of antibiotics and 5 months of it not helping I took the cats, all 3, to someone else who came highly recommended. I was supposed to be $38 per cat just for the visit. It ended up costing me $235! And this vet stunk too not only did she not even ASK me if I could afford the 6 shots she gave my cats, she just wiped out the needles, one of which she broke off in my cat!!!!!!!!!!! pulled it out and stuck a new one in him, mark, I was almost in shock! She made them WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!! That night the cats ran such a high fever, and they were ok before I took them there, that my normally quiet sis meowed all night long she didn’t want me to sleep I think she was afraid to be left alone in case something happened to her! Now both mark an sis follow me from room to room. The kitten stills sneezes I’m at a loss! And completely tapped out money wise and energy wise too! I tried everywhere even other states aspca’s to get help, shelters, including the one the kitten came from, Vets everywhere to please wait for a payment but unless you come through the door showing the green they wont see you, so please don’t suggest taking the cats somewhere else or spending money I don’t have, I’m on disability and spent my food money on the vets. I even went back to the same vet office where I saw a different vet and she told me to go to Walmart and get an antihistamine ( human form ) and try that on the cats!!!!!!!!!! My question is this……… Is Oil of Oregano and olive leaf extract bad or dangerous to cats and kittens or are they ok to give them? So far I’ve tried some homeopathic things on them and some Vit C an A&D an E to no avail. Now the kitten has started losing his teeth, I think he swallowed one the other day too I heard him what sounded like him coughing or choking on something by the time I got there he was just swallowing over an over again I had no idea kittens lost there baby teeth I hope he didn’t swallow one by accident! Will it pass out of him safely if he did? I thank you for any advice you guys have I’m at the end of my rope after 5 months of this. Thank you.
