Why is my kitten still constipated and not eating after vet?

Question

4 months kitten is constipated for 3 days. he doesn't eat anything. he only drinks water a little. we took him to a vet. he said the cat had fever. the vet made injections to reduce fever and said made the cat drink olive oil. we made him drink olive oil. and the following day(yesterday) we took the cat to the same vet again. the vet made injection for infection and injected drip-feed for dehydration. he said go on giving the cat olive oil or castor oil. we used them. we made enema today.

It’s definitely concerning that Sarisin still has not defecated and is not eating despite treatment. I am wondering if any diagnostics have been performed - constipation can be secondary to ingestion of a foreign object or kidney disease. Blood work and x-rays might help determine why the current treatments aren’t working. I would definitely check in with your vet before giving an enema - not all enemas are safe for cats, and even a water enema can be difficult to administer. Hope your kitty is feeling better soon!
