Thread: Kitten not Eating and Sleeping All Day

Hi All

I have a twelve week old kitten. He had his 12 week vaccines and seemed fine in the afternoon (was playing) but thereafter has stopped eating properly and sleeps all days and nights (very unlike him).

I thought that he may be just fighting through the vaccine but it is now three days later and he only drinks water and has one or two bits or wet food and three pellets. I took him to the vet last night and she couldn't find anything wrong- she did a blood smear and an ultrasound. She thought that it may be a tummy bug but he has had no loose stools.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me please? It's breaking my heart to see him out of sorts and not his usual, playful manner. I am from South Africa and any tips would be welcome.
