I am so sorry that Kitti is so sick. I’m very worried about her from your description and I’m afraid she needs some pretty intensive care if she’s going to recover. If you are near a veterinary specialty center, consider going there through their emergency department. What diagnostics have been done at this point? If bloodwork hasn’t yet been done, ask about doing some lab work to get a better idea of what’s going on. Xrays or ultrasound may also be helpful. I am sorry I don’t have any solutions for you to try at home , but delaying appropriate treatment could change the outcome. Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

    It is very concerning that Blacky is not eating and breathing abnormally. I would take Blacky back to your family veterinarian as these may be symptoms of a very serious illness. The veterinarian may want to do blood work and x-rays to determine what is wrong with her so that they know how to best help her.

    I am sorry to hear about Blacky. It sounds like she may need some supportive care to get her back on track. This could include fluid therapy and forced feeding or an appetite stimulant. You can call your vet and see if they can give her fluids (this can be done via an IV cather or under the skin which they can teach you to do at home) and an appetite stimulant. Until you are able to get her in to be seen you may try syringe feeding her water and you can also make a gruel by putting canned food in a blender with water to make it thin enough to pass through a syringe. If she isn't improving or gets the fever again she may need a different antibiotic or additional testing (such as bloodwork) to help determine why she is ill.

    Hello, it sounds like you are doing all the right things right now. You can offer canned food and make sure you keep her away from the other kittens in case she has something that could be infectious (viral). If she develops any severe lethargy, vomiting, or decreased appetite, then have her evaluated immediately. Hope this helps and best of luck.
