Showing Original Post only (View all)Please send prayers, good thoughts, good vibes for the Calico rescue kitten...it's touch and go... [View all]

Got home last night and she was very lethargic and wouldn't eat...this morning not much better so I used an eyedropper and gave her water and some mushed up food and got her to the vet...he thought she might be actively dying, a failure to thrive situation. Tested her for aids/leukemia, both negative and got her on an IV...just called and she's doing a little better and he wants to keep her overnight and if she makes it, do more fluids tomorrow. Might be some serious GI issue that is causing her to shut down, but she did throw up and have diarrhea so maybe the intensive fluids would do the trick...she was fine yesterday morning then all of a sudden...it's very upsetting...she's only about 7 weeks old and is turning into a little sweetheart...she deserves a good life.

OP
A vet once asked if our sick cat was lethargic, and I said, "Well, he sleeps 20 hours a day . . ."
