This source outlines the mission and medical observations of **Big Cat Rescue**, specifically focusing on the dangers of **bacterial overgrowth** in exotic kittens. After shifting from breeding to **sanctuary operations**, the organization now emphasizes that human interference in a cub's diet often disrupts the **delicate intestinal flora** essential for survival. The text explains that exotic cats possess **short digestive tracts**, making them highly susceptible to fatal infections and starvation when motherโs milk is replaced by formula. To combat these risks, the author suggests a strict regimen involving **probiotics**, specialized electrolytes, and antifungal medications to manage the side effects of antibiotics. Detailed clinical signs of **fading kitten syndrome** and inflammatory bowel disease are provided to help caregivers identify life-threatening symptoms early. Ultimately, the guide serves as a warning against the **exotic pet trade** while offering practical advice for the emergency care of vulnerable felines.
