Poorly kitten

Hi I’m new to this site so please let me know if I am doing anything wrong! I am completely worried about my 14 week old siamese kitten called Figgy. Ten days ago she was sick twice and then lost her appetite. I tried everything - chicken, fish, wet food, dry food, treats and kitten milk. She was picking at the food and I was so worried. The vet said it was a virus and it would go but a week ago he put her on a drip and did some blood tests that came back negative. She came home livelier but is eating such little amounts of wet food and small amounts of dry (Royal Canin). She is so thin and tired - I have tried all sorts. I have a 6 month old cat too who is a bit full on - wanting to play etc so I have kept her away whenever I can. Although keeping a young oriental kitten at bay is no easy thing! Any ideas what could be wrong?

Take her back to the vet. Its along time for a kitten to be ill.

Thank you for replying.I telephoned the vet yesterday and he said that she will be sleeping a lot as her body gets rid of the virus and as long as she’s eating, drinking and using the litter tray she is ok. In the night she ate a lot of food and has been quite lively. I weighed her and she has put on 100g so back to the weight she was before the virus. I think she is slowly getting better. I think my 6 month old other kitten is wearing her out and she is a bit aggressive. I have Figgy in my bedroom with a heated bed, food etc. I am such a worry guts. Has anyone else experienced cat viruses that go on for quite a while?
