We "adopted" a 6 week old kitten yesterday & he won't eat or drink anything. He also has an eye that is "glued" shut when he wakes up. He has been sleeping most of the time since we brought him home. Any suggestions?

Hi,

So sorry to hear about your kitty. I would make an appointment with your vet asap. He could have an upper respiratory infection. He is very young and he needs all the nutrients he can get. Is he interested in any wet kitten food? Sometimes wet food is more palatable to cats.

Sorry this isn't of more help.

Sincerely,

Yes, a trip to the vet is needed. A kitten that young can get dehydrated and go very downhill as fast as 24 hours. The kitten is going to need some fluids and some medication. Where did you get the kitten from?
