we have a 13 week old kitten who came to us from a local rescue centre a week ago. we've had cats before but its been a long time since we had a kitten in the house, 17 years to be exact.
there are notes from the rescue place saying she's been done with flee stuff and wormed (although their flea stuff didn't really work as she was absolutely riddled with them). for the first couple of days, she was fine, ate but not loads. but since then, she's barely eating. i have gone through so much cat food to try different types, brands, flavours, all bar the odd nibble has been refused.
in desperation, i took her to the vet yesterday. no temp, heart seems ok, vet wormed her again and gave an injection to combat nausea. typically, she ate a random dog biscuit she's spotted on the side while at the vets! vet also gave me a tin of prescription appetite stimulating food.
since then, she's had diarrhea, that'll be the wormer. she is eating the prescription food but not in any great quantity and has still not touched any of the other food.
am really worried there's something wrong with her, next step would be vet again and blood tests. anyone else had problems getting a new kitten to eat?
