My kitten is trembling. Is it safe to wait for results before treatment?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! We are an advice site. We can’t examine patients. Neither can the Vetco locations with in PetCo as that is for healthy vaccinations. It sounds like your car is sick not emotionally traumatized. The treambling is the biggest indicator he might be sick: pain or fever. Cats shouldn’t go more that 2-3 days with out eating. I would take him to a vet today if you can for an exam. Good luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Trembling is a general sign and can be seen with several things that go from just being cold or nervous to being an indication of pain or discomfort. If Emmy is otherwise fine, then it would be ok to monitor her for now. However, if at any point she appears to be in discomfort or stops eating or showing any other concerning symptoms, it may be best to have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment. Hopefully it is not anything serious. Good luck and have a good day!

This is probably unrelated to the flea treatment, it could be an infection that Bobby is suffering from. If by tomorrow the symptoms do not improve I strongly recommend taking him back to the vet to get treated.

Please contact your vet clinic immediately to confirm what treatments had been gievn - these are not normal signs and are very concerning. I am not familiar with any 'anti drug' and would advise a full review of her history as soon as possible. You may request a consult here or seek referral to an internal medicine specialist to discuss in more detail

Hello, sorry to hear about Couti. It’s difficult to say if she has an infection, but based on what you’re discriminated it could be associated with head trauma, an infection with a virus or bacteria, liver disease or perhaps long standing effects of the panleukopenia. Becuase your other kitten passed from that disease which is contagious, it could be possible that Couti also had this disease but developed the neurologic form of it which causes intention tremors. Shaking and trembling with initiating movement. I would recommend having her evaluated by a veterinarian to confirm or rule this out. She may need additional testing to rule out other potential causes. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Hmmmm, I’d really have to see Lumi to determine if this is problematic. When I hear about a kitten with odd shaking concerns, I do think about a neurological disorder such as cerebellar hypoplasia....and symptoms can become more obvious when the cat is focusing on a task (“intention tremors”)..... but it’s usually pretty apparent and I think I’d be hearing more concern from you. If Lumi is completely normal in every other way, and this is just a little “shiver” sort of shake, then it’s likely normal. Sometimes they’ll shiver/tremble when they’re very excited, or nervous, both of which could come into play when eating. So, no concrete answer but I suspect this is normal. However, if it looks concerning to you (and certainly if you feel anything else about Lumi’s movements look odd) then it’s worth having your vet take a look at her to be safe. Hope this helps!

As long as Maybel is eating and drinking, she will be fine to wait until Monday. I can give you some home remedies to try as well to see if that helps her, and these will work well in conjunction with medications from the vet. Please keep in mind that these home remedies should not be a substitute for seeing the vet, and I would have her seen on Monday. First, you can try starting her on an L-lysine supplement - this is an amino acid that has been shown to help the immune system fight off respiratory infections more effectively. Enisyl and Viralys are both good brands, and can be purchased over the counter without a prescription - just follow the dosing instructions on the label based on your cat's weight. If she's congested, you can also try using a humidifier or bringing her into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections. I hope this helps and Maybel feels better soon!
