My kitten won't eat. What should I do when my kitten stops eating?

Question

My kitten is not eating anything and idk what’s wrong with her

Dr. Macartney, BVet Med, MRCVS · Accepted Answer

I am very sorry to hear that your kitten is not feeling well, and lost her appetite. There could be a range of issues causing this problem including gastrointestinal parasites or ingestion of a toxic, or stomach-upsetting substance. If she hasn't eaten in over 24 hours I would advise taking her to the veterinarian straight away of examination, diagnosis and treatment. If it has been less then 24 hours, attempt the following at home; Tempt her with a bland but appetizing diet of boiled boneless chicken breast Provide fluids in the form of low sodium chicken broth mixed with water. If she does not start to eat, begins to vomit or have diarrhea, or seems lethargic take her in to the vet. Best of luck, and please post any further questions you may have here on the forum.
