I have 2 9 week old kittens that I've raised for the last 7 weeks. Both were eating fine and all of a sudden, a week ago the female started refusing all food. Every bite I get down her is a struggle. She's seen the vet as recently as the 27th for her shots, and I did mention this but the problem is getting worse. Her brother is very small for his age, but eats well and is now 1 lb 9 oz. She is down to 1 lb. I've tried various canned kitten foods, such as Science Diet, Sophisticat, Friskies, regular adult canned foods such as Fancy Feast, Whiskers, and Science Diet dry kitten food; canned tuna in water... you name it, I've tried it (including the human baby food meats). I'm giving her a little nutri-cal on my finger each day, to try to keep her blood sugar up. She refuses KMR and table food. ANY ideas???
I do foster care for the Humane Society and I've never run into this before! I'm really worried about her. She is failing.
