Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female

Our 7 or 8 month kitten is suffering from illness may be because of winter. She is lazy from 4 days and refusing to eat food and milk. Can I feed her with eggs. If yes then what would be better raw egg, boiled egg or an omlate . Please suggest something. We live in a rural area and we dont have a vet nearby. Please help for our little baby.

Poor Maanu. Yes, you can try to entice her to eat with some egg. A plain scrambled egg is usually best. You can also try some plain boiled boneless, skinless chicken or canned tuna in water is also a good option. There are so many things that can cause a decrease in appetite in kittens like parasites, toxins, viral or bacterial infections, foreign bodies, intestinal obstructions and so much more. If she isn't starting to perk up and eat, I strongly recommend to find a vet to take a look at her to find out what type of treatment she may need. I hope this helps and she starts to feel better really soon.
