HI,I wrote earlier this week about our 6 month old kitten who has not been doing well. Ealier this week she was weak and the falling over. The vet said that she was just having a tummy ache from the food. We went back to her food, but she seems to be failing again. She was always very small for her age and we're wondering if she has always had trouble digesting? She had all her shots and was spade a few weeks ago. My father thinks she is going to die tonight, is there anything we can do???

 

Optional Information:
Age: <1; Female; Breed: mixed

Already Tried:
back to original food, keeping her in the house more, cuddling...

To be honest, I don't want anything for this. If you can, take her to an emergency vet. If she does have problems digesting, she may be constipated. If so, the toxins could be harming her. If impacted, she needs to be seen ASAP. If she was very small, her digestive system could be underdeveloped. As a result, she's not able to digest the food properly. Softer food would be best. As for the falling down, it could be related or ther could be something else. In any case, please write back and let me know.

Good luck
