Since your kitten has not eaten in three days, this is an emergency now. It is likely very dehydrated as well. Please take Muezza to an out of hours veterinary service NOW. If you do not know where you can find such a service, please ring your veterinary practice and there will be emergency information on the answering machine.

    I am so sorry to hear that Koki Isn’t feeling well. Fever can be caused by many different problems. The last picture her eyes look a little sunken in which worries me that she is dehydrated. I would highly encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. If that is not possible then fluid intake is very important. She is likely not pooping because she is not eating. The underlying problem is not likely to be constipation but something else. The more hydrated she is the more likely she is to feel better. However, without a diagnosis it is hard to know what else she may need, so veterinary care would be very important to her prognosis. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
