Kitten with diarrhea, smelly pee, acting strange. What should I do?

Question

Chance is a three month old kitten recoverinh from Coccidia. He's been on Albon for three days so far, and receiving ointment on his swollen bum. He's still having diahrrea, being very restless and reclusive, and now he's peeing so much i have to change his litter box daily...it also smells horrific. I don't know what else to do for him. When i call his vet tomorrow, what should i do/say? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | unneutered | 3.2 lbs

Poor Chance! He could also be suffering from an Urinary tract infection. A lot of animals who have diarrhea will develop an UTI. What happens in some poop may get on the tip of his penis and then the bacteria will ascend up the urethra and into the bladder causing an infection. The diarrhea may just need a little more time to resolve. When you call the vet tomorrow I would just see if they can recheck him to check his bladder and urine and also to make sure he isn't becoming dehydrated. I hope this helps!
