How do I get my sick kitten to eat
| Sat, 07-02-2005 - 11:03pm |
Hi, my kitten has been a little sick over the past day almost 2. He wasn't eating much
only interested in drinking from his bowl. He as also a little lethargic, sleepy, wnated to be close to me, sit on my lap more.. He's thrown up a coupl of times. I took him to a vet, who said he has no temperature, seems alert, its probably just worms. she gave him soem de-worming medication and another small tube to take in a couple of weeks. He won't eat his regular cat food, liek Friskies; The only thing he's eaten is some tuna that I put in front of him, but I had to push him first in order for him to eat. I was glad that he finally ate, if only a little bit.. DOes anyone knwo of a way to get him to eat more??

Hi Claudstar2005. *Welcome* to Cats.
thanks, I haven't heard that worms make them hungrier. that's weird, I ve heard the opposite. But anyway, hwo woudl I force feed him?
Hi,
thansk for your reply, he was throwing up before after he had eaten. He only nibbled on soem tuna from a can. but he's being really picky, i don't know why.. the vet just thought it was worms - that's what he threw up (sorry to sound groase. I think he's stopped throwing up,, but still not eating much, he will drink occasionally form his bowl.
